viens = vee-and (like in "and", but without pronouncing the "d" or the "n")

I'd like to correct you...when you say "viens" you can't say vee-a ===>but well V(from the english alphabet)- 1(the number in french===>un) it could be easier no?...finally i don't think so lool.

No, it does not work, "un" and the last syllable of "viens" does not sound the same

Lool je parle quand meme francais et la je suis sur de moi; je ne crois pas avoir faux la dessus :D

V (prononcé vi en anglais) + "1"( comme "hein" en francais)...mais le "un" je trouve pas de terme en anglais ou on utilise cette prononciation...

Donc "V"+"1"===>viens :D:D par contre il faut le dire vite pour etre sur que le rponociation soit correcte!

Hello,
You can also go to this great site : AT&T Labs Text-to-Speech: Demo.
Very easy to use and the pronunciation is almost perfect.

Bonjour. Je confirme 'ens' de viens, se prononce comme 'un', ou le chiffre 1, ou comme le 'in' de matin, ou comme le 'en' de chien... Peut-etre se rapproche-t-il du 'huh!' américain???
Good bye Canada.
