Not sure why you're posting to Denglish... as Clemenceau is French... but that said, it would be Clem-en-sew (like the verb "sew", rhyming with row).

Hope that helps!

Pardon my French but if this is French, shouldn't it be Clom-on-soo?

I think the word is anglicize so it should be Cle-men-soo (-eau is usually pronounced as -oo). But everyone pronounces it as Clem-men-ciu so I'm with everyone.

OMG SORRY! I'm potentially just a huge idiot who clicked the Friends page of Denglish! :-O

My apologies!

Nein, leider nicht. Bin einfach Deutschlehrerin in der USA, die nur von einem fantastischen Leben in der deutschen Hauptstadt träumen kann. Ich hab aber viel Zeit in Berlin verbracht...
