A short YouTube tutorial by Hadar Shemesh teaching how to pronounce the word "hierarchy." The speaker breaks the word into three syllables ("Hi - rar - key"), demonstrates articulation for each syllable, emphasizes stress on the first syllable, and provides example sentences.
This word has several pronunciations, but let me teach you the one that I think is the easiest to pronounce. Three syllables. Hi Rar. Key. The first one is hi. Just like, hi, how are you? The second one is rar. Think of the word car and replace the k with an R. Rar. Make sure to drop the tongue for the ah rawr. Otherwise it's going to sound like R Rawr. Open your mouth. Take your time. Hi, rawr. Hi, rawr. And then you just end it with key. Give me back my key. Key. Hierarchy. Hi Rar. K stress is on the first syllable. Hierarchy. What's the hierarchy here? There is no hierarchy in our company. Hierarchy. Good.
