Many learners of English pronounce this word like this
April
They make it very flat
They make a short vowel in the first part
and a full vowel in the second part
April
This is incorrect
Listen to the difference!
I'll say it incorrectly, and then correctly:
April
April
Can you hear the difference?
All the stress should be on the first part
The first part is:
"a"
It is a double vowel. So it has two positions
Listen again!
"a"
You try now!
Ready?
"a"
The second part of the word is very weak
It is not "pril" with a full vowel
It is pronounced as:
"pril"
With a very weak vowel
The weak vowel is:
"a"
"a"
This vowel is used in a lot of English words
Listen carefully, and repeat after me!
April
April
April
