In this American English pronunciation video, we’re going to go over the pronunciation of the word ‘job’.
This week’s Word of the Week is ‘job’. Job begins with the JJ consonant sound, where the tip of the tongue is here, touching the roof of the mouth, jj, jj, and your lips do this funny thing, jj, jj. The vowel is the AH as in FATHER vowel. You do need to drop your jaw for that. Jo-, jo-. And finally, the B consonant sound, where the lips will come together and then part lightly for a release. Job, job. You did a great job.
That’s it, your Word of the Week. Try it out yourself. Make up a sentence with the word, record it, and post it as a video response to this video on YouTube. I can’t wait to watch it.
