Is Seine pronounced like the english word send without the d? Linke sane with a lond a sound? like seh-een? say-een? something different? The vowel sound ei is not in the learning companion examples. I know it sounds like a simple question, but I am going to Paris the end of May and want to know how to pronounce it. Thank you

Hi there,

This is a very good example.
It's like "sane" in "insane" with a short "a" sound. Or like "send" without the "d".
I hope that helps.
