How to Pronounce “Volunteer”
To help you pronounce the word “volunteer” correctly, follow these simple steps:
-
Begin by pronouncing the first syllable, “vol.” “Vol” should be pronounced like the word “ball” without the “b.”
-
Then, move on to the second syllable, “un.” Start by making a short “ə” sound as in “up,” followed by the “n” sound.
-
Finally, end with the third syllable, “teer.” Pronounce “teer” like the word “deer” without the “d.”
When putting all the syllables together, say “vol + un + teer” with equal emphasis on each syllable. Remember to maintain a steady pace as you pronounce each syllable.
Practice saying “volunteer” slowly at first, and then gradually increase your speed. With practice, you’ll be able to pronounce “volunteer” confidently and correctly.
