I’m from the south so I dunno if this is true for locals there, but I say it almost like the beer coors light without the -s so “coo-ER de lean”? I think, it’s had to type that one out how I say it… and now I’ve said it too many times to remember how I normally say it
Since I’m not sure how many anglophones know how to pronounce beurre, it sounds like “bear” but the r sound is made with the uvula and rolls off into the distance.
I was speaking with a friend yesterday who had no idea French had a guttural R, so I don’t think it’s common knowledge. The œ also trips them up
The Idaho panhandle has a reputation for being full of racists. It was home to the aryan nations neo-nazi compound until the year 2000. The neo-nazi scene has become a bit more scattered since then, but there are still more than a dozen hate groups operating in the area.
That said, it’s important to note that most of the people who live there are not neo-nazis and are proud to oppose them.
The scenery is wonderful but the locals give me a “we don’t take too kindly to your kind around here vibe” where “your kind” essentially means any outsiders but has a lot of other potential implications depending on what about you brought on that conclusion in their minds
The top post in this thread specifically calls out Salt Lake City as being gorgeous but the Mormons ruined it with their bad vibes? Why doesn’t that apply to Idaho?
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho but really just the whole panhandle
Wait what? There is a Cœur D’Alene in Idaho?
Now I’m curious and wonder how you guys try to pronounce that very French name (with a strong R at the end of cœur)
Edit: I watched some videos and most of the people seemed to say “core da lane” with a different emphasis on lane. And one fella saying “coor d’alane”
In French it’s Coeur like beurre, and Alène like À laine. Anyway, it’s cool to have a place named “heart of” something
Core da lane

I’d love to hear more about Why, because the panhandle is quite picturesque

Disagree. That area is gorgeous.

Sure, but it’s easy to enjoy the scenery and not interact much with the people. The environment itself gives great vibes, not creepy ones.
