Are you saying this word naturally?
A lot of English learners make this mistake, but it’s easy to fix.
In American English, we usually say: KAH-leeg.
There are just two syllables: KAH-leeg.
The stress is on the first syllable: KAH-leeg.
You can forget about the UE at the end: KAH-leeg
She’s our KAH-leeg.
We had lunch with our KAH-leeg.
He’s my KAH-leeg from Milan.
I had a zoom call with several KAH-leegs.
Let’s practice. I’ll say blue. You say green.
KAH-leeg
She’s our KAH-leeg.
We had lunch with our KAH-leeg.
He’s my KAH-leeg from Milan.

Why not try writing your example with colleague in the comments.
Thanks for watching, and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
