English Pronunciation | The Letter 'O' | 10+ Ways to Pronounce the Letter O
👉 In this English Pronunciation lesson I will teach you over 10 ways to pronounce the Letter O in English. English Pronunciation can be crazy!
👉 The Letter O in English is a VOWEL letter and is pronounced in the alphabet as /əʊ/.
👉 The letter O can also be pronounced in English with any of the following sounds....
As /ɒ/ in On, From, Sock, Spot
As /ɔː/ in Short, Snore, Board, Tour
As /əʊ/ in Phone, Home, Alone and Oh NO!
As /ʌ/ in Some, Company, Come
As /ɜː/ in Work, Worth, Words
As /uː/ Food, Room, Tomb
As /ʊ/ Woman, Wolf
As /ɪ/ in Women
As /ə/ Observe, Information, Official
As /aʊ/ in Found, Round, Clown, Town.
👉 The Letter O can also change how it is pronounced when it is combined with other vowel sounds, like 'ou' 'oe' 'oa' and we will learn these sounds at the end of the lesson!
👉 We will also learn about the SILENT O in English, which is common in words like "Favorite" and "Comfortable".
👉 At the end we will look at some SUPER FUN 'O' Tongue Twister and a short TEST to see if you are learning everything!
👉 This lesson has CHAPTERS so you can SKIP to the part you need to learn most.

🤔 There are A LOT of rules for how O should be pronounced and also LOTS of exceptions. So my advice is to immerse yourself as much as possible into the language and instead focus on getting a 'feel' for what the O sounds like in certain words. You will be very surprised because after a short time you will start to be able to 'guess' and 'feel' which sound is correct, just like a native speaker of English can!

Good job on your are the most important thing
Food. Work. Teacher, you're the best!
I'm a native English speaker, born and raised in the USA, and I always enjoy videos of this nature; I will never tire of hearing and practicing the differences between your dialect and mine. We each are also aware of several dialects in our respective countries. I have a friend in London who teaches English on KZread, and he always makes fun of how I always pronounce the letter "r", completely ignoring the fact that I come from the Bronx, New York, and that dialect, as well as the New England dialect, is non-rhotic. If you've seen Robert Deniro or Joe Pesci in a movie, you know what I mean. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. It's really useful for me to improve my English pronunciation myself.
A great teacher!
Thanks
Thank you, for your helpful videos sir.
HELLO!!! IT HELPS A LOT BECAUSE SOME ENGLISH STUDENTS,MAINLY OF LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES SOMETIMES CONFUSE THE SYMBOL WITH THE SOUND . EXAMPLE:FOR THE WORD "ON" THEY PRONOUNCE "A" AS IN HAT OR CAT BECAUSE THE SYMBOL (its writing)IS SIMILAR TO THE FIRST LETTER OF THE ALPHABET SO THEY THINK IT IS AN "A". YOUR EXPLANATION HELPS THEM TO UNDERSTAND MUCH BETTER.THANK YOU AND GOOD BYE JOSE LUIS.
