Arecaceae/Ericaceae

[Scott Shumway]

In my quest to understand and speak the foreign language of botany,  what
is the difference in pronunciation of Arecaceae (Palm family) and Ericaceae
(Heath family)?

When I try it they come out sounding the same.  This may be a challenge for
the email medium!  Thanks.
