While we're on the subject of nitpicking, I believe it's actually spelled "karaoke".

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]
