How to Pronounce TOMORROW American English
In this American English pronunciation video,
we’re going to go over the pronunciation of
the word ‘tomorrow’.
This week’s Word of the Week is ‘tomorrow’.
‘Tomorrow’ is a three-syllable word with stress
on the middle syllable. So, we have da-DA-da.
Tomorrow, tomorrow. The first syllable follows
the same rules as the word ‘to’. So, the vowel
will reduce to the schwa. To-, to-, just like
the word ‘to’. You may even make the first
sound, the True T, a Flap T, depending on
the sound before. Check out the video on how
to say the word ‘to’ for those rules.
The second syllable, stressed, begins with
the M consonant sound: tom-, tom-, tom-. Then
we have the AH as in FATHER vowel, so the
jaw will need to drop. Tomo-, tomo-. Then
the tongue will pull back and up for the R
consonant sound. Tomor-. And the jaw will
close for that somewhat as the tongue raises
towards the roof of the mouth: tomor-, tomor-.
And finally, in the last syllable, we have
the OH as in NO diphthong. Tomorrow, tomorrow.
So make sure your lips round for that. Tomorrow.
What are you gonna do tomorrow? Did you notice?
I didn’t make a True T, I made it a Flap.
Do tomorrow. Do to-, do to-, do tomorrow.
What are you going to do 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
