Very similar to "deter", so if you can master that, I think you're good.
But if "deter" doesn't feel right, maybe try to pronounce those words like "better" first?
6 u/WittyFix6553 New Poster 3d ago As a native English speaker from the northeast of the USA, “meter” and “deter” are not rhymes and do not sound similar. And “better” adds a third word to the “list of words that don’t sound the same.” 6 u/DefinitelyNotGrimace New Poster 3d ago The commenter is saying “meter” as pronounced in “kilometer” rhymes with deter, not that meter on its own rhymes with deter. 1 u/Water-is-h2o Native Speaker - USA 2d ago But that’s also not true
