外教教你学英语音标 辅音[w]

/w/ is a voiced consonant sound.

And you make the /w/ by rounding your lips slightly and releasing voice like this, /w/.

A challenge that can come up with the /w/ is mixing it up with the /v/.

So "wine" sounds like "vine".

It's helpful to remember that you will never feel your teeth against your lips for the /w/ sound.

Let's try some sentences that compare the /w/ sound to the /v/ sound.

Watch my lips and practice along with me.

His verse is worse.

We bought the vest out west.

Walt put the wine in the vault.

She went near the vent.
