How to Pronounce facade
Language: English (from French) IPA: /fəˈsɑːd/
Pronunciation explanation
fuh-SAHD. Two syllables with stress on the second. The cedilla (ç) under the "c" in the original French makes it sound like an S rather than a K. In English it's always written "facade" without the cedilla but always pronounced with /s/.
