The spelling of "are taken cleaners" can be challenging for non-native English speakers due to the presence of two silent letters. The IPA transcription for this word is /ɑr ˈteɪkən ˈklinərz/. The first two syllables sound like "ar" and "take" with the stress on the second syllable. The final syllable "ers" is pronounced as "erz" with a silent "e". It is essential to pay attention to these silent letters to avoid confusion while communicating in English.
