Say Bathroom in French
There are two way to say "bathroom" in french. There is "salle de bain" which translates to "room of bath" and "toilettes", which, obviously, means "toilets".
Steps

The "s" in "salle" is pronounced like the "s" in "simple", the "a" like "Anna", the "ll" like the "l" "library" and the "e" is not pronounced. "De" is pronounced somewhat like "Duh". and "bain", which is hard for a beginner, is pronounced like it is spelled, "BAIN", only without pronouncing the "i" or the "n".
