The French word saint is pronounced as nothing more than a normal s-sound followed by the typical in nasal vowel found in words like main, coin and finand often given phonetically as "eh[n]". In other words, it is pronounced the same as the words sain and sein. If you are unsure of how this vowel sounds, just think of the sound "eh" (like the e in bet) and pronounce it through both your nose and mouth at once. Even better, listen to a native French speaker.

The feminine form of saint is sainte, which is pronounced the same except that you add a t-sound on the end. You will also hear the t pronounced if the following name begins with a vowel sound, as in Saint-Etienne("seh[n]-tay-tyen").
