How to Pronounce “Strength”
To pronounce the word “strength” correctly, follow these guidelines:
- Start by placing your tongue behind your top front teeth, lightly touching the back of your upper front teeth.
- Say the sound “st” as in “stop.” This sound is produced by releasing a burst of air behind your tongue.
- Quickly move your tongue to the “r” sound in the middle of the word. It is pronounced like a soft roll or tap of the tongue against the roof of your mouth.
- The next sound, “eng,” is pronounced like the “e” in “bet” followed by the sound “ng” as in “long.”
- End the word with a “th” sound, as in “think” or “both.” This sound is produced by placing your tongue between your teeth while exhaling air.
Remember to pronounce each sound clearly and make sure to speak slowly at first, gradually increasing your speed as you become more comfortable. Practice saying the word “strength” aloud several times until you feel confident with its pronunciation.
