🤔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

  • SKWÉ™-rÉ™l.
  • A SKWÉ™-rÉ™l 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.

  • SKWÉ™-rÉ™l.
  • A SKWÉ™-rÉ™l 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.
