How to Pronounce INTERVIEW American Pronunciation

In this American English pronunciation video,
we’re going to go over the pronunciation of

the word ‘interview’.

This week’s Word of the Week is ‘interview’.
The first thing I want to talk about is the

T. When the T comes after the N, it can be
dropped. So, ‘interview’ can be ‘innerview’,

innerview, with no T sound. A few other examples:
the word ‘center’ can be ‘cenner’, and the

word ‘internet’ can be ‘innernet’.

This is a three-syllable word, and the first
syllable is stressed. It begins with the IH

as in SIT vowel, ih, ih. So you’ll want to
drop your jaw a little bit, the tip of the

tongue stays here, while the front part of
the tongue reaches up towards the roof of

the mouth. The corners of the lips should
stay relaxed, ih, ih, in-. Then we have the

N consonant sound, so the tongue tip goes
up to the roof of the mouth. Inner-, inner-,

then you will pull the tongue back for the
R sound: inner, inner, inner. If you want

to make the T: inttt-, bring your teeth together
and stop the air with a quick release to make

the True T sound before pulling the tongue
back for the R. Inner, inter. The last syllable

has the V consonant sound, vv, yy, the Y
consonant sound, and the OO vowel, -view, -view.

So make sure your bottom lip comes up and makes
contact with the bottom of the top teeth for

the V sound. VV, vv, -view, -view. Interview,
interview. Again, stress on the first syllable.

DA-da-da, DA-da-da. Interview. Interview.
I have an interview tomorrow.

That’s it, your Word of the Week.  Try
it out yourself.  Make up a sentence with

the word, record it, and post it as a video
response to this video on YouTube.  I can’t

wait to watch it.

That’s it, and thanks so much for using
Rachel’s English.
