Is this supposed to be flutch?? Or flush?? Or flugh?? Or fluegch??
It should sound more toward the last case, flucgch. Try to prolong the fluc part and easy on the gch. The g should be pronounced as j. Try to repeat it after me: Fluc~jch.
I've been practicing the pronunciation in front of the mirror. When saying this word my lips make it look like I am ready to make out with a flounder (that's a fish)...am I doing this correctly?
You probably don't want to make out with flounder. Try to imagine with a blue fin tuna. Oh, try to say it with an European accent to make it more sophisticated. Voila!
P.S. Don't make out with yourself in front of the mirror even though it is tempting to do so.
P.P.S. If you still have trouble pronouncing it correctly, please get a blue fin tuna and practice kissing it. I will definitely encourage others to follow.
P.P.P.S. Please wipe your mouth after practice.
I appreciate your excellent suggestion, but...
Unable to find blue fin tuna at my local grocer, I decided the next best thing would be white albacore tuna. After making out with the can for 15-20 minutes my tongue was mildly lascerated and I felt no closer to a masterful pronunciation.
Next I moved onto your European accent suggestion. I tried German, Italian, and British with mixed results. After bandaging my tongue to avoid infection, I find that my French accent is now spot on. I now pronounce the word with a dismissive air of superiority and when watching myself in the mirror it appears that I am going to vomit.
Thanks again to excellent tutoring!! Another success story!!
I am glad that you found French accent worked for you, Mr. Degaulle. You are one dedicated learner and congratulate for your success in mastering this word through pain, sweat, and vomit. Should you have a chance to find a blue fin tuna, I am definitely certain that you will master this word in no time!
Flùcřák forever!
