Lessons Unit 1, lesson 32

w as in water

One consonant, on its own page. Hear it, watch where it sits in each word's sheet, then say the words yourself.

wthe w in water

Round your lips as if you were about to whistle, then open into the vowel: w — water. It's a movement, not a held sound.

ˈw w ɔː a ɾ t ɚ er
water
ˈw w ɛ e t t
wet
ˈw w ay
way
ˈw w ɪ i n n
win

Now say it yourself

Read each word from its sheet, out loud, three times. Where there's a play button, listen first and copy what you hear. Slow is fine — clear beats fast.

we
ˈs s w w ɪ i m m

ˈw w ɝ or d d

ˈw w ʊ oo d d

ˈw w ɔː a l k k
