Pronunciation Guide
백 (baek) rhymes with 'back' in English — a crisp 'ae' vowel with a final 'k'. 제 (je) sounds like 'jeh' — similar to 'jet' without the 't'. Full: BAEK-jeh, two syllables with stress on the first.
Common Mistake
Pronouncing it 'BECK-jay'. The vowel in 백 is 'ae' (as in 'cat'), not 'e' (as in 'bet'), and 제 ends with a short 'eh', not 'ay'.
