/ju/

Pronunciation

Beg – Low Int

In this lesson, students learn to reproduce the /ju/ sound (as in “cute”). They practice writing and producing the sound through various tasks and compare /ju/ and /ʌ/ (e.g., cute/cut). Includes a pronunciation diagram and audio.

Please note that we use the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent sounds on our site. This lesson is based on the typical North American pronunciation of /ju/ (also known as “long U”). Pronunciation of this sound may differ by country and/or region. Lessons on /ʌ/ as in “cut” (short U) and /u/ as in “coot” are also available.
