question is how do I pronounce the letter W or the W sound

w and then the short ooh sound in English a lot of my students actually

struggle with this because you're moving your lips from a very puckered and tense

position to a more relaxed position okay so I'm just gonna add one more word here

and let's go ahead and jump right in so again we have the letter W followed by

the short o-o sound the Ooh sound that's the sound that we hear in look cook book

took most people figure this out and they can actually say that sound when a

different sound comes at the beginning but when that W sound starts a word and

then you have that oo people lose their minds and really struggle so let's

tackle this today it's really not as difficult as it seems it just takes a

little bit of practice so for the W sound www you can see my lips are very

puckered and very tense www for the Ooh sound my lips are more relaxed more open

and less puckered so if you look at these two sounds together wooh wooh wooh

I move from very tense to very relaxed lips the mistake that I see is that

people will keep their mouth too rounded and too puckered and they'll say

woooo woooo woooo so again we're gonna pucker and pull back wooh and we want to avoid

keeping our mouth in the same spot or puckering more it's not wooooo woooo it's

wooh wooh wooh all right now let's try it in some words

wood would yes those words are pronounced exactly the same wool wool

wolf wolf woman woman wood would wool wolf woman and let's try it in a sentence

the woman was startled by the wolf would you believe that the wolf was hiding in

the woods and wearing wool clothing give it a try
