Dog, duck, walk, and work are commonly confused in English pronunciation.
In this lesson, you’ll learn the vowel sound differences and how to pronounce these words clearly in natural spoken English.
Do these words use the same vowel sounds? Why do they sound so different in connected speech? And why are they often difficult to hear and say correctly?
Many learners struggle with these words, especially when listening to native English speakers. In this lesson, I show you how to pronounce each word clearly, practise them in sentences, and understand what changes when you speak more naturally and quickly.
Please note that I speak with a British accent. If you are studying American pronunciation, some sounds may be different, but this lesson will still help you improve your listening skills and overall pronunciation awareness.
Take your time, pause and repeat, and focus on clarity before speed.
