The /ɔr/ vowel is not as easy as it may seem. Many non-native speakers have difficulty pronouncing it, as this vowel consists of two frequently distorted sounds. The spelling of /ɔr/ doesn't help either, so this sound is often mispronounced and confused with other r-colored vowels. Compare: "arm" – "warm" or "our" – "four." In this video, you'll learn how to make the /ɔr/ sound correctly and find out how to avoid typical pronunciation mistakes. There's a pronunciation exercise recorded by a professional speech therapist to help you practice this sound in most commonly used words.
