What is the correct pronunciation of ‘Promenade’?
Please give the phonetics as I don’t have a multimedia player.
/pr3’meneid/. I think so. You can search for it on dictionary.com
A friend of mine, a French national told me the last syllable is like ‘nahd’.
But, I find the majority of the sites giving the pronunciation you did.
I believe that both pronounciations are correct.
The users of British English pronounce this word as /,prɒmə’nɑ:d/ while the users of American English pronounce this word as /,prɒmə’neɩd/. There is no right or wrong in language. Only difference and variations. (and at times unclarity and misscommunication, LOL)

Poor me. my Java is going wrong. So I can not record my pronuciation of promenade but I think I agree with Youscream_Icecream. That’s the difference between BrE and AmE.
many thanks, Luyen
