How Do You Spell OSOWIEC?
Pronunciation: [ˈɒsə͡ʊˌa͡ɪk] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Osowiec" is pretty straightforward once you know how to pronounce it. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is written as /ɔsɔvʲɛt͡s/. The first sound, /ɔ/, is an open-mid back vowel, similar to the "o" in "hot". The second sound, /s/, is an unvoiced alveolar fricative, like the "s" in "sister". The next sound, /ɔvʲ/, is a bit tricky—it's the combination of an open-mid back vowel and a palatalized labial glide. Finally, the word ends with /ɛt͡s/, which sounds like "ets" but with a slight release of air between the "t" and "s".
