Have I been mis-prouncing it this whole time? English is not my first language I am French. I am talking about Oligarchy

    The second vowel is an unstressed “i”. In most varieties of English, since it is unstressed, we pronounce it as a schwa, which sounds roughly like “uh”.

    If you’d like to articulate that syllable, like you might do in French, then pronounce it like the “i” in “sit”. That’s completely optional.
