Is CELTA spoken as one word? Is it pronounced with a hard C as in cat or with a soft C as in celery?

My actual name is Kevin, so a tiny little bit yes. Wink Here in the US, however, we screw up Keltic and Celtic words quite a bit, so it's always better to ask. Very Happy

Is650,

Have you considered downloading the IPA font (International Phonetic Alphabet, not India Pale Ale, which is also quite good to "download" Very Happy )?
