Speaking of practice, I can help you improve your pronunciation in the next 30 days when you join my American English Pronunciation Course. This is a really small and slight difference, and it’s almost unnoticeable when we’re speaking fast.īut it can help make your speaking smoother because we usually link words together – we don’t say the _ man and the _ apple, we connect them – theman, theapple – and practicing this will help your speaking flow more naturally. So the word in fact begins with a vowel sound. * Although “honest” begins with the consonant letter “h,” the “h” is silent. “Unique” begins with a “y” sound, and “one” begins with a “w” sound. You might be wondering about those last two examples.Īlthough “unique” and “one” begin with the letters “u” and “o,” which are typically vowels, they do not begin with vowel sounds.
The pronunciation of “the” changes depending on if the next word begins with a consonant sound or a vowel sound.īefore a consonant sound we say THUH and before a vowel sound we say THEE.
However, did you know it is pronounced two different ways? The word “the” is one of the first English words most students learn.
