If you're a non-native English speaker, learning how to properly pronounce the word "crisis" is an important part of speaking the language fluently. Pronouncing the word "crisis" correctly is not difficult, but it can be confusing because it is not pronounced the same as it is spelled.

The word "crisis" should be pronounced with a long "i" sound. Say the word carefully and slowly, starting with the "c" sound followed by the "r" sound and the long "i" sound, which is like a long "e" sound. The "s" sound is pronounced like a soft "z" sound, and then the final "is" is pronounced like a "s" sound. The emphasis should be on the first syllable.

So, to pronounce the word correctly, say "kry-sis," with the accent on the first syllable. The "i" sound should be held for the full length of the syllable. It should sound like "kry-eeee-sis." It is important to emphasize the "i" sound to ensure that the word is pronounced correctly.

With a little practice, you can now pronounce the word "crisis" correctly. By following these guidelines, you'll be able to confidently use this important English word in your conversations.
