Caribbean

/ˌkærɪˈbiːən/

nounadjectiveCar · ib · be · an

Think: “CAR + ib + BEE + an” — a car in the Caribbean with a bee in it helps you remember the middle **-ib-** and the **-bee-** sound.

Yes, it's Caribbean. The tricky part is the middle: it’s **Car-ib-be-an** (with **ib** and **be**), not *Car-a-bean* or *Car-rib-bean*.
