It’s best to just say “cross ant” because then people know you’re saying it wrong on purpose and you don’t have to feel bad about pronouncing it wrong

Being a native french speaker, I feel it’s actually closer to the real pronunciation than the “kwah” alternative. I would add don’t pronounce the T and you’re pretty much there.

If I had to write it phonetically for english speakers, I’d write CROSS ON

Yeah it seems native english speakers(mainly my fellow muricans) are baffled by the pronunciation of the french “r”.
It took me practicing it for a while to finally understand how to properly pronounce it, but I’m still ashamed to use it in public for fear of being mocked by both french and english speakers alike. LOL.
