How do you pronounce chien in French?

Answer 1

how to pronounce chien - (audio sample in link)

The CH sounds like the English "sh" (as in shoe shine, etc.) For the "ien", here's a copy-and-paste from my answer for how to pronounce the word "rien", which rhymes:

The I is like the letter Y in the word "yes".

The EN combination makes a nasal vowel that sounds like "eh". I always say that this vowel sounds like a quacking duck if you exaggerate it loudly. The French nasal vowels are made by passing the sound through your nose and mouth at the same time. If you touch the front of your nose while making a nasal vowel correctly, you can feel it vibrating.

Rien rhymes with bien, tiens, lien, sien, and mien.
