Remember, small impressionable children, oligarchy and rigged market capitalism is the only way, everything else is evil and anti-freedom, and remember to compete against your fellow Americans to try to get more than them!
For our next lesson, critical thinking and reasoning! Just kidding, we don't do that here. It doesn't help to make you better laborers.
And now onto history, open your textbooks to page 33:
I'm interested in how Americans pronouncebourgeois.
as long as the French get offended by the pronunciation, then it's pronounced correctly in American
We just say bourgeois
Burgers
Boogers please. We ain't no uppity frogs.
"job creators"
"entrepreneurs"
I'm actually something of a job creator myself. Last week at the grocery store I didn't return my cart to the coral. They had to pay someone to go out and bring it in!
I personally pronounce it fahrenheit
Borzshwah
'Boojz wah', or if I'm feeling silly bourguignon. But I'd probably be more likely to use 'middle class' instead of the French.
Bourxjeauxaseaux
Different ways, I usually say boo-jwah, bur-jwah is also one I've heard though.
I and anyone I've heard say the word says it the same as the English pronunciation in this random video I found searching for how to pronounce it. For whatever that small sample size is worth.

I've heard it with varying degrees of the R sound. There's a common shorthand "bougie" (BOO-zhee) that people often hear before learning the original term, so they'll maintain the pronunciation into BOO-zhwa.
Sometimes the R is slightly swallowed so it sounds more like BOH-zhwa, maybe very light throat vocalization. Or people skip over it and it's buh-ZHWA. Some commit fully for BOR-zhwa.
Universally seems to maintain (my non-native understanding of) the French "oi" and silent S.
I have yet to hear anyone pronounce it correctly: bor-gee-oice.
Beurj-wah
Me when the science teacher says the earth is round /s

Reminds me of this scene in the big short:
I thought Jews were supposed to think critically about religion. After all, that's why Yahweh keeps the devil around, to question them.
