Rachel, will you make a video that goes over the pronunciation of O-O?

As we study the pronunciation of any given letter or set of letters,

we have to remember the sad fact that English is not phonetic.

That’s why spelling can be so tricky, and why pronunciation can be so hard.

A phonetic language is one where speech sounds,

appears with many different spellings in different words:

The most common pronunciation for the letter OO is the sound [u].

The lips are a bit relaxed, and then the come into a tighter circle.

I have a video that goes over the pronunciation of this sound,

This is in my Sounds of American English series, and

I’ll link to that video here and in the description below.

Another common pronunciation is the UH sound like in ‘book’,

Notice the lips flare a bit for this sound.

See an in-depth video on that sound by clicking here, or, you know what’s even better?

I’ll link to the playlist with ALL the sounds of American English at the end of this video.

Another pronunciation in some common words with O-O is the AW as in LAW sound.

For this sound, I’ve only found words where OO is followed by R,

Some common words here would be ‘door’,

AW as in LAW is pronounced like this, AW, AW.

But in these words, the mouth closes more and the tongue pulls back a little bit more:

What about the words ‘flood’ and ‘blood’?

Now, we’ve talked about ‘food’, ‘foot’, ‘floor’, and ‘flood’.

In all of these words, O-O is pronounced differently.

Can you tell by looking which vowel sound it is?

How to do you know the pronunciation of the letters O-O by looking at a word?

There’s no way to know by looking at these words.

Really, the pronunciation of a word has to be memorized when you learn the definition of a new word.

It’s one of the things that makes communicating in English, speaking English,

or, for short, you might see it as ‘coop’.

What’s interesting is that there, the two letters O

and the second is the AH as in FATHER vowel.

Occasionally you’ll see this written with a dash between these two syllables,

This pronunciation is also in the word ‘zoology’,

where there is a syllable split between the two O’s.
