The English pronunciation is A (as in Animal) VER (as in oVER) DOUR( as in oDOUR) POIS(as in POISon).
Probably the easiest way to remember is to use the phonetic alphabet young children learn at school (a,b,c,d instead of ay,bee,see,dee). The pronunciation would then be
a-v-d-Pois. (phonetic a,v,d). Combine the a-v-d into first part avada and end with pois.
French Pronunciation as AV-WAA-D00-PWA.
