What is phonetic pronunciation of french word for sister?

The French word for sister is "sœur" (pronounced "soor").

Here's a breakdown of the pronunciation:

* "s": Like the "s" in "see"

* "œ": This is a tricky one! It's a sound that doesn't exist in English. It's similar to a combination of "e" and "u" but with lips slightly rounded, like in the French word "feu" (pronounced "fuh").

* "r": A slightly rolled "r" sound, unlike the English "r"

Therefore, the full pronunciation is "soor", with a bit of a rounder vowel sound than the English "soar".
