How to Pronounce “Bother”

To correctly pronounce the word “bother,” follow these steps:

  1. Start with the sound “B” (similar to “bee”).

  2. Add the long “AH” sound (similar to the “a” in “father”) while opening your mouth slightly wider.

  3. Combine the two sounds to pronounce “BAA.”

  4. Continue with the “TH” sound (similar to the “th” in “think”) by placing your tongue between your teeth and exhale.

  5. Finally, finish with the “ER” sound (similar to “her”) by rounding your lips slightly.

When said together, it should sound like “BAA-TH-ER.” Remember to emphasize the stressed syllable, which is the first syllable “BAA.”

Practice saying the word slowly and gradually increase your speed until you can pronounce it confidently.
