Hello everyone! Hope you are having a nice day :)

I have an interesting question. I was having my English lesson, where my teacher pronounced "Arkansas" like /ɑrkən,sɔ/. It was very surprising for me, since I was communicating with people from America who pronounced it in completely different way. So my question is: is there someone from America, exactly from Arkansas state, or anyone who traveled there? Please, tell how do you pronounce "Arkansas".

Thank you in advance! 😊
