Hm, I won't be using exactly the same anotation as you did, since I'm not entirely sure how your version works, but after eight years of Swedish school plus rather more English-langauge TV, movies and lyrics than is good for you have I'd pronounce the sentence "I am rather curious" as [a_i {m rA:D@ kju(@)ri@s], or more likely with contraction [a_im ...].
