Someting like boor- zwa, pronounce the z like the s in measure. I got help with that.
Proletarian you just sound out: Pro le tarian

Bourgoise is usually pronounced Bore-shu-are, though the "shu" part is not accentuated and the "s" sounds rather like a "z". Say it as if you were a Frenchman and you'll be fine.

Proletarian is usually pronounced Proll-ih-tear-ian.

I've recently been thinking about how to pronounce these words...Still kinda confused but you've cleared up any stupid ideas it could be pronounced "burg-oize"

"burg-oize"

Bourgeoisie ( bour-shwa-zee) is the actual name of the class.

Bourgeois is just the word for describing the Bourgeoisie.
