Proper Pronunciation Guide

June

Tips:

  • Pronounce the vowel in this word as a very clear and long
    /u:/. Pronounce the vowel in two stages, pushing the lips further forward toward the end.
  • Pronounce a very firm
    /n/ at the end of this word and sustain it slightly—unless, of course, it is followed by a vowel at the beginning of the next word, as it is in the second practice sentence.
