The word "sea" has a long E sound, the same as "see."

The EA vowel pair almost always has long E sound (EE), although it can have other sounds.

- short E as in death and head

- long A as in break and steak

- long "caret A" (AYR) in R words such as bear, pear, wear, swear, and tear (rip).

- short "caret U" (UR) in dearth, earth, and heard

- long E/ caret I (EER) in dear and hear

How do you say chelsea?

The accent is on the first syllable, so one way to indicate the pronunciation is CHELL-see. The "Ch" is like the "ch" in "chess" or "chat". The vowel in the first syllable is a short "e", so that "chel" rhymes with "bell". The vowel in the second syllable is a long "e", so that the second syllable sounds like "sea" or "see".
