While we're on the subject of nitpicking, I believe it's actually spelled "kar
aoke".
But on the subject of how to pronounce it...
*grabs his Longman Pronunciation Dictionary*
(as I've got no idea on how to reproduce the phonetic symbols for English, I'll just try to explain it the long way

)
The first "a" is similarly pronounced as the a in
bad and
trap; the second "a" is actually pronounced like the y in
happy and the first i in
radiation. The "o" is pronounced like the o in
no, the oa in
goat and the ow in
show. The final "e" is pronounced the same way as the second "a" was pronounced. [img]smile.gif[/img]
