can someone provide me with a phonetic pronunciation of ATELIER
Ah-tel-ee-ay (?)
Ah-tee-ay (?) is the “L” silent?
Ah-tee-yay (?)
Ah-tay-ee-yay (?)
None of the above?
thanks.
Ah-teel-yay (right?)
I’m not 100% sure (i’m not a french speaker by any means), but as far as I know it’s Ah-tell-yay.

I think I’ll go with our resident French speaker’s interpretation.
Mercy bucket Ray…
