How to Pronounce “Would”
To pronounce the word “would,” follow these steps:
- Begin by rounding your lips slightly.

- Part your lips slightly and create a “w” sound by forcing air through the opening.
- Immediately after producing the “w” sound, release your tongue and quickly move to the “oo” sound.
- To pronounce the “oo” sound, relax your lips and create a prolonged, rounded vowel sound.
