What's the correct French pronunciation for Guerlain?

It starts with a hard ';g'; and no ';u'; sound (the ';u'; is just there to keep the ';g'; hard). Thus the first syllable sounds like ';gair'; and rhymes with English ';hair';. Then the second syllable begins with an ';l,'; and ends in a nasalized ';in'; sound; ';lain'; rhymes with the French ';vin';.What's the correct French pronunciation for Guerlain?
If you have no knowledge whatsoever on the pronounciation of French, here's my guide, assuming you pronounce it as if you would speak English:





Guerlain=


';goo';, a deep ';oo'; sound


';air';


';lun';, but the ';n'; is almost not pronounced. Almost a silent ';n'; sound.





Hope that helped! :)What's the correct French pronunciation for Guerlain?
The first response from '; Magistra... '; is correct.
