音标-47 ／u／

Today we will practice the pronunciation of ／u／. For example: Too 今天我们要练习 ／u／ 的发音。比如说： Too The pronunciation of ／u／is the same as the the ／u／ sound in the Chinese word 去. ／u／ 的发音跟 《去》 的／u／一样。 Sometimes it sounds like 去，sometimes it sounds like 出，so we have to be very careful! If we say a sound that is between these two sounds, that will be correct for most words. First say ／o／. Then say ／u／ 先说／o／, 然后说／u／ Too 太 Food 食物／吃的 This is too much food. Blue 蓝 Shoes 鞋子 Where are my blue shoes? Movie 电影 Tuesday 周二 I saw a movie on Tuesday. New Tuesday There are different ways to pronounce these words. Different people from different countries say it in different ways. Sometimes it sounds like IU, sometimes it sounds like OO What is important is that we practice ONLY the sound that we are looking at today. Today we are looking at ／u／. So we should ONLY use ／u／ during this class for all the words. Later, you can go back to saying NIU for New, and TIU for Tuesday. Because those are also correct.
