🤔 WORK Pronunciation in American English

🤔 WORK
Are you saying this word wrong?
A lot of English learners make this mistake, but it’s easy to fix.

We say: WəRK.
It’s not: Walk.
It’s WəRK
Listen to the difference: WəRK. Walk
They’re different words, and different sounds

For work, your lips are slightly rounded, like this… and your tongue pulls back for the American R sound.WəRK

Just one syllable: WəRK
* Work.
* I have to work today.
* She works from home.
* I’m busy at work.

Let’s practice. I’ll say blue. You say green.
* Work.
* I have to work today.
* She works from home.
* I’m busy at work.

Let’s compare one more time: WəRK. Walk. ← hear the difference?

Write your example with work in the comments.

Thanks for watching, and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
