Proper Pronunciation Guide

winter

[wɪn tɚ]

Tips:

  • Be sure to pronounce the letter “t,” even though it is aspirated very little since it precedes an unstressed vowel.

Practice Sentences:

 Winter is not as cold here as it used to be.
Debra loves winter sports, such as skiing.

Notes:

If the letter “t” in this word is not pronounced, the word becomes “winner.” On the other hand, some speakers over-aspirate, or over-pronounce, the “t” in this word.
