How to Pronounce Vague
To pronounce the word “vague,” follow these steps:
- Start with the initial sound “v.” Place your top front teeth on your bottom lip and gently push air out.
- Move straight into the vowel sound “ay” (as in “say”). Open your mouth slightly and position your tongue slightly lower in your mouth.
- Transition to the “g” sound by putting the back of your tongue against the soft part of your palate.
- Conclude with the final “ue” sound. It is pronounced like the letter “u” (as in “due”) but with an “eh” sound added at the end.
Remember to pronounce all the sounds smoothly without emphasizing any particular syllable.
Example: Vague [vayg]
Note: The pronunciation of “vague” may vary slightly depending on regional accents.
