Pronouncing Eric. . .

How to say ɛrɪk?

For Linguists: 

You begin by pronouncing the first syllable [ɛr] by beginning with the front vowel "ɛ" as pronounced in "bed", followed by the voiced alveolar liquid sound of "r". The second syllable is "ɪk", which begins with the high front vowel "ɪ" and ends with the voiceless velar, with the manner of articulation being stops. 

For Non-Linguists: 

You begin by saying the “e” sound as in elephant, and then allow your upper teeth to touch your bottom lip and say the “r” sound as you would say red. In addition, you would combine the the last to letters in my name “ic” and pronounce it as you would form your mouth to say sick, which comes from further back in the roof of the mouth.

Now you know how to pronounce my name.
