🤔SQUIRREL
Are you saying this word wrong?
A lot of English learners make this mistake, but it’s easy to fix.
We say: SKWə-rəl
It’s not: Skwhirl.
It’s SKWÉ™-rÉ™l
There are two syllables: SKWə-rəl
The stress is on the first syllable: SKWə-rəl
- SKWə-rəl.
- A SKWə-rəl likes nuts.
- There’s a SKWÉ™-rÉ™l in the park
- Let’s feed the SKWÉ™-rÉ™l.
Let’s practice together. I’ll say blue. You say green.
- SKWə-rəl.
- A SKWə-rəl likes nuts.
- There’s a SKWÉ™-rÉ™l in the park
- Let’s feed the SKWÉ™-rÉ™l.
Why not write your example with SQUIRREL in the comments.
Thanks for watching, and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
