> Pronouncing every single letter.

Now I want to know how you pronounce words like: through, bivouac, and queue.

You don’t pronounce all the letters?

no. ever heard of silent letters?

I'm a native speaker of English, northern California dialect. I pronounce every one of those letters, to varying degrees. Some just affect the mouth shape by subtle amounts, but it is there.

That's a gnarly standard you have there.

obviously not a native French speaker
