How to Pronounce “Woman”
To properly pronounce the word “woman,” follow these steps:
- Begin with the letter “w” sound. This is a voiceless labiovelar glide, similar to the “w” sound in “water” or “well.”
- Transition into the “uh” sound by opening your mouth slightly and relaxing the lips.
- Pronounce the letter “o” as a short vowel sound, similar to the “o” sound in “lot” or “rock.”
- End with the letter “m” sound, which is made by closing the lips together and releasing a nasal sound.
Put together, the correct pronunciation of “woman” sounds like “wuh-muhn,” with the emphasis on the second syllable.
Remember to practice pronouncing the word slowly at first, and gradually increase your speed while maintaining clarity.
