The spelling of the word "art top heap" can be challenging for many English learners. The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /ɑːt tɒp hiːp/. The first syllable "art" is pronounced with a long "a" sound, followed by the stressed syllable "top" with a short "o" sound, and finally "heap" with a long "e" sound. This word may seem confusing due to the unusual combination of consonants, but with practice and familiarity, it can be pronounced correctly.
