You say squeaky as a two-syllable word pronounced like skwee-kee. In phonetic spelling, it is /ˈskwiːki/ in International Phonetic Alphabet, with stress on first syllable. Break it down as squeak plus y, so squeak pronounced skweek plus kee sound. Say skwee as in week with sk in front, then kee as in key. It rhymes with freaky, cheeky, and sneaky. First syllable skwee is long e sound, second syllable kee is also long e but shorter. So say SKWEE-kee quickly. In American English, it is pronounced skwee-kee with equal emphasis but stress on first. In British English, pronunciation is same. For children, you can teach as skwee-kee. Plural or adverb forms like squeakily is skwee-kuh-lee. To pronounce it like actual squeak, make it high-pitched and short, imitating squeak. Practice by saying squeak then adding ee sound, squeak-ee. So squeaky is pronounced skwee-kee, two syllables, meaning making squeaking sounds.
