Cock vs Cork | Advanced Pronunciation Lesson /ɔ/ vs /oː/
Learn Australian English in this
Advanced English Pronunciation Lesson!
In today's episode...
Here’s another superb advanced English pronunciation lesson for you guys!
In this episode, I am going to teach you the difference between the /ɔ/ and /oː/ sounds.
The /ɔ/ sound is more formally known as the open-mid back rounded vowel.
On the other hand, the /oː/ sound is known as the close-mid back rounded vowel.
Let’s call them the long and short O sounds of the Australian English pronunciation key.
First, I will teach you how to say words with the /ɔ/ sound.
Then, I will teach you how to say words with the /oː/ sound.
We will then practice saying minimal pairs — yes, like cock vs cork!
And finally, listen up well because I will give you an exercise to see if you can identify the long and short O sounds with some selected words.
Hope this video helps you guys!
