Tips:

• Pronounce the letters “ar” as the diphthong
  /ɛ͜ɚ/— like the word “air”—and not as
  /ɑ͜ɚ/or
  /ɝ/ .
• Pronounce the second letter “a” as the weak schwa vowel
  /ə/.
• Use the consonant glide
  /r/ to link from the first to the second syllable—from /ɛ͜ɚ/ to
  /ə/.
• Stop-but-do-not-explode the “k” sound—/k̚/—at the end of the second syllable.
• Pronounce the letter “t” as a lightly tapped
  /d/ in quick speech.
