How Do You Spell ALORS?
The French word "alors" has an interesting spelling that doesn't necessarily correspond with its pronunciation. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is represented as /a.lɔʁ/. The "a" sound is pronounced like the "a" in "cat," and the "l" sound is pronounced like the English "l." However, the "o" sound is pronounced like the "aw" in "law," and the "r" sound is pronounced differently than in English. It is pronounced by shaping the tongue and the back of the throat in a way that produces a guttural "r" sound.
