This is a pronunciation practice lesson designed to help you improve your pronunciation of the English vowel sound / ʌ / (under, won). In this pronunciation lesson, I say words and phrases with the / ʌ / vowel sound. Many English learners know how to make this sound, but don’t know in what words this sound occurs!
/ ʌ / is the IPA symbol for this sound. Throughout the video I use IPA symbols to help explain pronunciation.
Listen and repeat after me to practice your pronunciation!
I speak with a standard American accent. This is great practice if you want to learn standard American English pronunciation.
