The word "gobel" may seem confusing in terms of its spelling, but it can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced as /ɡoʊbəl/ with stress on the first syllable. The "g" at the beginning is pronounced as a hard g like in the word "goat." The "o" is pronounced as a long vowel sound, and the "b" is pronounced with a short pause before the "l" sound. The final "e" is silent, as it often is in English words.
