The spelling of the word "Teale" seems straightforward, but its pronunciation can be confusing. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced /tiːl/, with a long "e" sound followed by a silent "e". The silent "e" is a common spelling convention in English, indicating that the preceding vowel is pronounced as a long vowel. However, it can be easily mistaken for a short vowel sound, leading to mispronunciation of the word. It's important to remember to elongate the "e" sound when saying "Teale".
