How Do You Spell SKANE?

Pronunciation: [skˈe͡ɪn] (IPA)

The word "skane" refers to a province in southern Sweden, but its spelling may prove a challenge for non-native speakers. To break it down phonetically, "sk" sounds like "sk" in "sky," "a" is pronounced like "ah" in "father," "n" like "n" in "now," and "e" as "eh" in "let." Using the International Phonetic Alphabet, it would be transcribed as /skɑːn/. With practice, mastering the spelling of "skane" will become second nature.
