This is a tricky one because in English, the sound of the letter "c" is usually determined by the following vowel:
* Hard "c" (k sound): Before "a", "o", "u", and sometimes "r"
* Soft "c" (s sound): Before "e", "i", and "y"
Therefore, it's unusual to find a single word with both a hard and soft "c" sound within the same word.
However, there are some exceptions and interesting cases:
* Words with a "c" followed by a different sound:
* "circuit": This word has a hard "c" at the beginning and a soft "c" before the "i". This is because the "c" in "circuit" is followed by a "u" but then an "i" creating a "k" sound followed by an "s" sound.
* "accent": Here, the "c" before the "e" makes a soft "s" sound, but there's a hard "c" in the "cent" part. This can be tricky, though, because some people pronounce "accent" with a soft "c" throughout.
* Words with a "c" in a digraph (two letters working together):
* "scarce": The "sc" at the beginning makes a "sk" sound, while the "c" before "e" makes a "s" sound. This isn't exactly hard and soft "c", but it's related.
It's important to note that these are just some examples. English pronunciation can be complex, and there are always exceptions and varying pronunciations.
