Proper Pronunciation Guide
sartorial
[sɑ͜ɚ tɔ͜ɚiəɫ]
Tips:
- Pronounce the letters “ar” as the R-Vowel diphthong /ɑ͜ɚ/—like the vowel in the word “car.”
- Pronounce the second syllable like the word “tore”—the past tense of “tear” [tɛ͜ɚ]—and stress it.
- Pronounce the letter “i” like the name of the letter “e”—/i/—which by itself is the third syllable.
- Use the consonant glide /r/ to link from the second to the third syllable—from /ɔ͜ɚ/ to/i/.
- Use the y-like consonant glide /j/ to link from the third to the final syllable—from/i/ to [əɫ].
