  • 👉 Did you know that there are up to 11 ways to pronounce the letter U in English?! Watch this English pronunciation lesson to MASTER all of these different pronunciations of U!
    👉 Do you want to learn how to pronounce the Letter U perfectly in British English? I made this video so you could learn how to pronounce the U perfectly at the beginning of words, in the middle of words and at the end of words.
    👉 I've also included a really tricky U Tongue Twister at the end of this lesson so once you've finished you should be a U pronunciation expert!
    🤔 NOTE: There are A LOT of rules for how U should be pronounced and also LOTS of exceptions. So my advice is to immerse yourself as much as possible into the language and instead focus on getting a 'feel' for what the U sounds like in certain words. You will be very surprised because after a short time you will start to be able to 'guess' and 'feel' which sound is correct, just like a native speaker of English can!
    👉 This lesson has CHAPTERS so you can SKIP to the part you need to learn most.
    🤩 I hope you find this lesson helpful! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions!

    Bonjour, au début lorsque vous parlez du u /ju:/ + consonant + magic e, vous ajoutez especially common in words with magic e with consonants et vous indiquez cette liste : b, f, g, h, k, m, p, w. Pourtant les exemples donnés après comprenaient d’autres consonnes, comme : contribute (consonne T), diffuse (consonne s) qui ne font par partie de votre liste énumérée, pourquoi??? Je suis contente de vous revoir, car vous êtes le seul professeur qui prononce tellement bien que je suis très débutante et que je parviens à comprendre et de plus votre enseignement est toujours fait de façon très professionnelle, vous savez très bien vulgariser et vous êtes passionné. Ça se ressent autant à l’écoute que dans vos écrits, c’est vraiment motivant de vous suivre. Merci et bonne soirée!

    I'm sure i can find a teacher as good as you, but not better as you. The letter U finished the cicle of the vowels. First, you teached the sounds (what letters or combinations of letters sounds can sound like a specific vowel) now you've teached the sound of what each vowel letter can have. Perfect.

    Hello James, thank you for your very helpful video. Today I learned the rules or guidelines about U all over again, rules I must have learned in kindergarten and elementary school, and have been using them intuitively. My reason for relearning is that I am not a trained teacher but am now training a group of teachers for our two rural mission schools in south India. Thanks again.
