Things to watch out for:

• The [k] sound is represented by a number of different English letters and letter combinations, including c (which also often represents [s]), k, ck, q, and qu. (Qu usually represents the sequences of sounds [kw], but sometimes just [k].)
• The English letter k usually does represent the [k] sound, but is sometimes silent, as in know.
