Boo! Happy Halloween. The two double /OO/ vowel sounds

10/27/2021

English word pronunciation can be confusing, especially when words have the similar spelling. The two double /OO/ sounds are a good example because they can be pronounced differently.

Watch this video on the tense and relaxed double /OO/ sounds in American English.
The TENSE double /OO/ vowel sound uses more facial muscles for words like food, boot, two, BOO!
The RELAXED double /oo/ vowel sound is more neutral in words like foot, book, good.

Do you have trouble with these vowel sounds? Let me know in the comments.
