The spelling of "maisel" can be tricky due to the presence of two vowels, "ai," which can create confusion as to how it should be pronounced. Using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), the correct pronunciation of "maisel" is /ˈmaɪzəl/. This means that the word begins with the sound "m" followed by the diphthong "ai," pronounced like the word "my." The final sound is "zəl," where the "z" sound is followed by a short "uh" sound and an "l." Remembering this phonetic transcription can help ensure correct spelling and pronunciation of "maisel."
