English Teacher Melanie: Pronunciation – 60 Words with / ʌ / ‘uh’ Vowel Sound

This is a pronunciation practice lesson designed to help you improve your pronunciation of the English vowel sound / ʌ / (under, won). In this pronunciation lesson, I say words and phrases with the / ʌ / vowel sound. Many English learners know how to make this sound, but don’t know in what words this sound occurs!

/ ʌ / is the IPA symbol for this sound. Throughout the video I use IPA symbols to help explain pronunciation.

Listen and repeat after me to practice your pronunciation!

I speak with a standard American accent. This is great practice if you want to learn standard American English pronunciation. If you are interested in improving your American English pronunciation, you can contact me for private lessons over the internet. Your first lesson is free!
