How Do You Spell RIVALING?

Pronunciation: [ɹˈa͡ɪvə͡lɪŋ] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "rivaling" can pose a challenge for English learners due to the two sounds of "i" that occur in the word. The first "i" is pronounced as /aɪ/ (like "eye"), and the second "i" is pronounced as /ɪ/ (like "ih"). This creates a unique spelling pattern in which the vowels "i" and "a" are combined to create the "ai" sound. To avoid confusion, it may be helpful to remember the rule that "i" comes before "e" except after "c".
