BRITISH ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION – /əʊ/ vowel sound (oh, no, go)


Hello! And welcome back to English with Lucy

and the next part of my English English pronunciation course.

Today we will talk about another dipole, and that’s ‘oh’.

Before we begin, join all of my social networks.

I have Facebook, Instagram, Weibo and, of course, a channel on Youtube

and you can also sponsor me on Patreon

and you can get really nice rewards like Skype lessons and handwritten letters

So: ‘əʊ’ is a diphthong and consists of ‘ə’ and ‘ʊ’ … əʊ

That’s 2 vowels, 1 syllable.

During this diphthong, the mouth changes its shape.

əʊ …. əʊ ….

From my Spanish students I often hear ‘no’, ‘go’, ‘klos’, ‘klods’ ‘hop’

It is bad!

Do not do it! You know it’s wrong, stop it!

The letter ‘o’ has some words like bone, close, thone.

‘Game of Thrones’ I never want to hear like ‘Geim v zronz’

or even worse ‘Geim ov zrounz¨’

I heard someone say “Geim ov zronez”

zrones! ni voy and decir nada

So first we have ‘o’, then consonant and ‘e’.

So bone, close.

Then we have good old ‘o’.

So we have both, almost, local, open, over.

Then we have words ending at -o: ago, go, no ,.

Well, it’s SO (aa, one more), so important.

‘No’! ‘Well’ sounds childlike to us, so kids talk, ‘no’!

But -hee- … well … well … it must be no!

We also have the words ‘oa’, ie, boat, goat, coat

NO co-at, bo-at! Boat, coat, throat

toast (not to-ast), toast!

Words ending in ‘oe’: toe, Joe’s name, foe.

Words ending in -ow like borrow or follow or grow!

We also have words like-though-or-dough

So, young people, I hope this lesson helped you.

Please, purposefully try to pronounce this diphthong correctly.

If yes = so (so !!!) If yes,

your speech will certainly very soon sound more British.

Have a nice day! Hello!

Be conscientious! vlvvvvvvvv
