Accretion

IPA [əˈkriː-ʃᵊn]
Sounds Like (uh-kree-sh'n)

Breakdown

First syllable (uh)
This syllable consists of a schwa sound (ə), which is a neutral, unstressed vowel sound like the 'a' in 'about'.

Second syllable (kree) (stress)
Start with a hard 'k' sound, followed by 'r', and end with a long 'ee' sound as in 'see'. This is the stressed syllable of the word.

Third syllable (sh'n)
Begin with a 'sh' sound followed by a very brief schwa sound and ending with an 'n'. The schwa here is so short it's barely pronounced, making the syllable sound almost like one fluid motion from 'sh' to 'n'.
