What's different

Both words are stressed on the second syllable, so the first is a weak "kuh", not the コ of katakana. The L or R comes just before the stress, with a vowel on each side, so you can hear the tongue move through it instead of guessing from a consonant cluster.

In correct, the r colors the weak vowel before it, and American voices often blur the start into "krrect". In collect, that vowel stays neutral and the l is a quick, light touch: "kuh-lect". If the first syllable already sounds like r, it's correct.
