The AH sound in American English.
I’ve noticed many of my students mispronounce words with the AH sound because the vowel sound AH is not always obvious in the spelling of the word.
Let’s practice some common words that are often mispronounced. For best results, practice speaking these words aloud with me.
Job
Jaw
Lost
Block
Honest
Clock
October
Soft
Taught
Mop
Thought
Deposit
Got
Cost
Hot
Boss
Often
Office
Law
Bought
Draw
Saw
Wash
Father
Gossip
Body
Now record yourself saying the AH words and compare your pronunciation to mine. This will help you identify your mistakes as well as reinforce the words you are saying correctly.
Now let’s practice using the words in sentences.
She lost her job in October.
Her boss caught her breaking the law.
I saw her gossiping in the office.
You can instantly improve your English and sound more like a native speaker by practicing and saying the AH sound correctly.
When you master American English pronunciation, you can speak with confidence knowing that your pronunciation is accurate and listeners will understand you.
