Today I want to talk about the pronunciation of AH & UH in American English.
Certain word pairs can be tricky to pronounce correctly. Many students confuse the pronunciation of these words. So I want to spend some time practicing with you today.
Let’s consider some examples.
The words body and buddy.
The word BODY has the AH sound. AH BODY BODY AH
The word BUDDY has the UH sound. UH BUDDY BUDDY UH
Let’s compare the vowel sound again.
AH body

You can instantly improve your English and sound more like a native speaker by practicing and speaking these word pairs correctly.
When you master American English pronunciation, you can speak with confidence knowing that your pronunciation is accurate and listeners will understand you.
