Hi! Today I want to talk about the pronunciation of the IH sound in American English.

This is a common vowel sound and you’ve encountered it in many words like it, with, big, and sit.

But is often mispronounced in words like women, and building. So let’s practice the correct pronunciation of some common IH sound words.

Say these words aloud with me.

build

building

guilt

kiss

milk

guitar

quilt

wish

quit

women

Now record yourself saying the IH words and compare your pronunciation to mine. This will help you identify your mistakes as well as reinforce the words you are saying correctly.

You can instantly improve your English and sound more like a native speaker by practicing and saying the IH sound correctly.

When you master American English pronunciation, you can speak confidently knowing that your pronunciation is clear, accurate and listeners will understand you.
