How to Pronounce “Whole”
To begin pronouncing the word “whole,” follow these steps:
- Start by positioning your lips in a relaxed and slightly rounded shape.
- Clear your throat and prepare to vocalize the “wh” sound.
- Pronounce the “w” sound by bringing your lips slightly closer together, allowing a small amount of air to pass through.
- Continue by immediately transitioning into the “oh” sound. Open your mouth slightly wider and shape it into an oval as you vocalize the rounded vowel sound.
- Next, move into the “l” sound by bringing your tongue up and touching the back of your upper front teeth.
- Redirect the sound to flow smoothly into the “oh” sound again, maintaining the same mouth shape as before.
- Finally, finish with the “l” sound by once again touching the back of your upper front teeth with the tip of your tongue.
Remember to pronounce “whole” as a single syllable. Practice saying the word slowly at first and gradually increase your speed to achieve a fluid pronunciation.
