Tips:

• Be sure to pronounce this word as two syllables or it may sound like the one-syllable word “quite.”
• Pronounce the letters “qu” as /kw/.
• Pronounce the letter “i” like the name of the letter itself—/ɑ͜i /—and stress it.
• Pronounce the letter “e” as the weak schwa vowel
  /ə/.
• Use the y-like consonant glide
  /j/ to link the two syllables—from
  /ɑ͜i/ to
  /ə/.
