THOUGH THROUGH THOUGHT THOROUGH British English Pronunciation
hello everyone welcome back to english
with Lucy I’ve got a short little
pronunciation video for you today I do
read the comments and I am taking them
into account I’ve got a long list of
topics that I need to cover but today I
thought we should take a thorough look
through some words and even though they
can be quite difficult I’m pretty sure I
can help you with them so today we are
looking at these four words here let’s
look at the first one though though then
we have Sura saara and then through
through and finally thought thought
let’s divide these words into two
sections those that start with the
unvoiced consonant and those that start
with the voiced consonant Farah thought
and through start with the unvoiced
consonant and though starts with the
voiced consonant now let’s look at the
vowel sounds the big odd one out is that
Sura has two syllables so we start with
sup it’s got the AA vowel sound which is
the stressed syllable and then the
second syllable the unstressed syllable
is the schwa Oh Sarah Sarah through okay
we’ve got a long o sound through through
ooh with thought we’ve got the aw sound
all all thought thought and it ends with
it though has a diphthong
it has the O sound Oh though okay so
we’ve got Sura through thought though
hopefully that cleared up all your
doubts and I’m going to ask you guys a
favor next time you see anyone with a
doubt about how to pronounce any of
these words I want you to send them this
video
