A rough pronunciation is el-farʔ bein el-etnēn kibīr.

A few helpful notes:

• الفرق → el-farʔ

• بين → bein
• الاتنين → el-etnēn
• كبير → kibīr

You may hear small vowel differences depending on the speaker, but this is a good learner-friendly pronunciation.

Why is there no word for is in the sentence?

Because Arabic often leaves out is/are in present-tense sentences like this.

So:

• الفرق بين الاتنين كبير
  literally looks like
• the difference between the two big

but it naturally means:

• The difference between the two is big.

This is a very normal Arabic pattern.

What does الفرق mean here?

الفرق means the difference.

It comes from:

• فرق = difference
• الـ = the

So الفرق = the difference.

In this sentence, الفرق is the thing being talked about, so it works like the subject: the difference.
