En guise de conclusion :
Geneviève Jeanson et l'Europe...

et

We've seen a lot from Genevieve Jeanson in the last few years. She is such a dominant force in women's cycling so far this year. I can't think of another sport with an athlete who is so far above the level of her competition. You may think of her as Genevieve Jeanson (Jenn-a-veeve Jen-son). Since it appears that her name will be on the lips of anyone engaged in any serious discussion of women's cycling, you may find it useful as a way to set yourself apart by learning the true pronunciation of her name.

The building blocks of the name are actually simple to understand. Imagine yourself sitting down to a meal Jean Luc Picard, the intelligent elder statesman caption of Star Trek's Next Generation series. Imagine that the dish being served is Chicken Kiev. The ‘Gene' in Genevieve is pronounced like Picard's first name. The e disappears. The final syllable is pronounced as the city Kiev. Imagine dropping the e, leaving the final v harder than if it were softened by the e and you have it. So you get Jean-viev. The last name starts with another Jean and end in that French way of saying son which sounds like saying song while leaving the g off the end. Go on, impress your friends. Genevieve Jeanson (Jean-viev Jean-son(g)).
