"say too", that's easy, "bon" is trickier for an English speaker as there is no real English equivalent for the French "on". It's a kind of a nasal sharp-ending "on", not with an open "o" and a trailing "e" like the preposition "on" or the French word "bon" in "bon appétit". It's the same pronunciation as the "bon" in French "bonjour", if you've heard the word. The English "bonjour" is anglicized and pronounced differently than the French word.
