I've always had a very large vocabulary, but could never pronounce half the words I knew, thank you so much for helping finally be able to pronounce "-or"
The /w/ sound in "wore" is really like a glide between /u/ "oo" and /ʌ/ "uh." So while "or" starts on an "o" or "aw" vowel sound and your lips should be open and rounded, "wore" starts with the /w/, and your lips should be pursed closed and rounded. I tend to hear errors on this from some of my clients, and they use something closer to "wore" for both words. But you might be doing that, or using "or" for both. Try the word "war," do you have trouble with that, too?
SpeechModification I don't know if I read it right. I feel when I pronounce the war, I have to make a tight circle for the lips at the beginning of the war.But when I pronounce the or, I don’t have to make a tight circle.my lips are less rounded. I feel I can’t hear the difference between the yeast and east 🤔🤔🤔
Yes, you're correct about war and or. So, "war" is the same pronunciation as "wore." Yeast and east have a similar pattern - "yeast" is /jist/ and "east" is /ist/ without the /j/ glide. I talk about this in some of my weekly free classes, if I find which video it is in, I'll share it, and you can look through past classes as well.
Coach,I have two questions. One is in our dictionary,for has the IPA 'fɔr',it is not 'fəʊr' as you said. I am not sure which is correct. Another question is how to say phrase 'for a while'.
Hi, different dictionaries will use different symbols for "or." I think of it as /or/, a diphthong with just /o/ and the vowel er, gliding very quickly. In the phrase "for a while," many American speakers will say "fer a while" because for is reduced in that phrase. Here's a video to help you with the word "while" as well: ruclips.net/video/RY2OmeQvSj4/видео.html
Thanks for bringing attention to how it's really pronounced here in US (for those who wanted to sound more like a native speaker, by saying "fur"). 😊
Thanks for watching!

Could you tell me what is the difference between the or and wore? They sound same to me.

SpeechModification thanks for your good tips
so basically for becomes fur or fer so what about words like forget is the for in forget the same as reduced for [fer]?
Yes, we also reduce the for in "forget," and stress the "get" syllable.
thank you
thnx
