How to Pronounce “Scenery”
To correctly pronounce the word “scenery,” follow the steps below:
- Start by pronouncing the “s” sound. Place your tongue against the roof of your mouth, just behind your front teeth, and gently push air through.
- Next, pronounce the “k” sound. This is a quick release of air at the back of your throat. It should be similar to the sound you make when you cough.
- Move on to the “ee” sound. This is a long vowel sound, like the “ee” in “see” or “tree.” Open your mouth slightly and slightly raise the back of your tongue.
- Finally, complete the word with the “nery” sound. Start by pronouncing a soft “n” sound, tapping the tip of your tongue lightly against the roof of your mouth. Then, transition into the “er” sound, which is similar to the “ir” in “bird.” To make this sound, slightly round your lips and vibrate your vocal cords.
Putting it all together, the correct pronunciation of “scenery” is “SKEE-nuh-ree.”
Remember to practice this pronunciation slowly and gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable.
