I have to say them in my Dramatic Interpretation for Forensics this year, and I don't have a clue as to what they sound like.

Tchaikovsy - chi - KOV - skee
Idiosyncracies - id - ee - o - SINK - ra - sees
syllables in caps are the stressed syllable, like JAN - you - airy
or im - POSS - uh - bull

Good dictionaries have phonetic or phonemic transcriptions for pronunciation. But if you find that a little difficult, try this: (caps are for stress)
Tchaikovsky =
chi think of chi-na
KOFF think of cough
ski think of ski-ing
chi-KOFF-ski
idiosyncracies =
idio think of idiot without 't'
SIN think of doing a bad thing
cra think of crash without 'sh'
seas think of many seas
idio-SIN-cra-seas
It might be worth checking out the IPA and learning how to use phonetics to help your pronunciation. I hope this helps anyway! Good luck!

Hi, sorry but I can't help you with the first word. However, the second word is pronounced the way its read. Id-ee-o-sinc-ru-sees.
Good luck!

Go to www.m-w.com
Type in the word, hit enter, then hit the little red speaker button. It will pronounce it for you.
Both words are there, I looked.

go to Webster's dictionary web site. I think they have a place where you can hear the word pronounced.
