发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end in the /kəʊ/ sound, just like the final syllable of 'jericho'. 'loco', 'taco', and 'tobacco' are straightforward /kəʊ/ endings; 'fiasco' has /skəʊ/. 'portico' and 'politico' share the '-ico' spelling with a /tɪkəʊ/ sound, similar to the /rɪkəʊ/ in 'jericho'. Don't pronounce the 'ch' in 'jericho' as /tʃ/ — it is /k/. Note also that 'Chicago' /ʃɪˈkɑːɡəʊ/ is a lookalike with a very different vowel sound and is not a rhyme.
