French pronunciation of following words?

I was wondering if the following words are pronounced the same:

Parler (to speak)

Parlez-vous (Do you speak...)

J'ai parle` (accent is over the e- I spoke)

Are the various forms of "parler" all pronounced "Par- lay" identically?

Thanks

    The first answer is correct the person who said J'ai parlé is pronounce parle is incorrect . if it was je parle then it would be pronounced PARLE but in your case as stated in the first answer they are all par-lay

    no they are not.

    parler and parlez-vous the 'par-lay' and pronounced the same,

    but parle as in J'ai parle` is pronounced "parl" not "par-lay"

Both "je suis allée" and "pas encore" fall into this class, and is also suggested both method! Memorize the terms on this class, and you'll decide on for your self which to make use of (if you are not sure, it is alright to sound formal, so pass with the "S"
