Pli fru, iu menciis la vorton, "scii". Tiam, mi notis ke mi estis
prononcinta ghin, kvazaux ghi estis Latina. ("SKI-I") Mi ne povis
prononci la Esperanta "c" post "s". Chu iu ofertas tiel ke mi akirus
la ghusta prononcon?

[English:]
Earlier, someone mentioned the word, "scii". Then, I noted that I had
been pronouncing it as if it were Latin. ("skee-ee") I can't pronounce
the Esperanto "c" after "s". Can someone offer someway that I might
acquire the right pronunciation?

(Once again, I beg forgiveness and notice if my Esperanto is rather
rough. I'm especially unsure about my subordinate clauses and compound
tenses.)

Diru la anglan vorton "bestseller."  Nun, provu diri la "sts".  Jen la
sono de Esperanta "sc."  Do, por diri "Mi ne scias," diru "Me nest see ass." 

Say the English word "bestseller."  Now try to say the "sts."  That's the
sound of the Esperanto "sc."  So to say "Mi ne scias," say "Me nest see ass."

	La sono de "sc" estas cxe la fino de la angla
	vorto, "chests" (ekz., chests of money).

	The sound of "sc" occurs at the end of the English
	word "chests" (e.g., chests of money).
