I pronounce it nearly the same: [kEskija], I don't have [V] in my dialect (and
I don't believe that any dialect of French - at least in France - has it). But
it's considered a very familiar manner to pronounce it. I'm surprised that your
teacher taught you that. A more polite way to say it is [kEskilja]. Add a
single consonnant and the whole sound of it changes :))) .
