  In French it would be pronounced:

  Zahn-deen Zee-don

  Zahn rhymes with “can”
  Deen rhymes “keen”
  Zee rhymes with “flee”
  Don rhymes with “on”

  The actual pronunciation requires more subtlety than the English phonetic spelling provides, as we don’t use the nasal sounds the way the French do.
