Are you wondering how to pronounce the word "experience"? It's not as difficult as it looks!
The word "experience" can be broken down for pronunciation, with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions for both British and American English provided:

• American Pronunciation: /ɪkˈspɪriəns/
  • Begins with the /ɪk/ sound, where the mouth is slightly open, and the tongue is near the front of the mouth but not touching the roof, followed by a brief /k/ sound produced by the back of the tongue against the soft palate.
  • Followed by the /ˈspɪr/ part, with the 's' sound produced by air passing out through the teeth, and the 'pir' sounding similar to 'peer', but shorter.
  • Ends with the /iəns/ sound, starting with the 'ee' sound as in 'see', though shorter, followed by the 'ns' sound, which combines the 'n' sound with the 's' sound.
• British Pronunciation: /ɪkˈspɪəriəns/
  • Similar to the American pronunciation at the beginning with the /ɪk/ sound.
  • The /ˈspɪər/ part in British English includes a slightly longer vowel sound, due to the non-rhotic nature of most British accents, meaning the 'r' is often not pronounced unless followed by a vowel.
  • The ending /iəns/ is similar to the American pronunciation, focusing on a quick, subtle transition from the 'ee' sound to the 'ns'.
