How do you say speak with it telling how to pronouce it?

The phrase "speak with it" doesn't have a single pronunciation as it depends on the context (what "it" refers to) and the speaker's accent. However, I can break down how to pronounce it phonetically, covering common variations:

"Speak with it"

* Speak: /spiːk/ (The 'ee' sound is a long 'e' as in 'see'. The 'k' is a hard 'k' sound.)

* with: /wɪð/ (The 'i' is a short 'i' as in 'in'. The 'th' is a voiceless 'th' as in 'thin'.)

* it: /ɪt/ (The 'i' is a short 'i' as in 'in'. The 't' is a hard 't' sound.)

Therefore, a common pronunciation would sound like: /spiːk wɪð ɪt/

Variations:

* Connected Speech: In natural speech, the words might be slightly connected, making the pronunciation sound more fluid. The 't' in 'it' might be barely audible or even linked to the preceding word.

* Accents: Different accents will influence the pronunciation, particularly the vowel sounds. For instance, a British English speaker might pronounce 'speak' slightly differently than an American English speaker.

To get the best pronunciation, consider saying it out loud while focusing on the individual sounds I provided above. You can also use online pronunciation dictionaries or tools that allow you to hear the word spoken.
