How to say words spelled with OULD

Jul 25, 2017 | How to pronounce English words correctly, Pronunciation Training, Spelling rules and pronunciation

Today’s question is from an ESL speaker in the United States.  “Is a slight sound of an “l” in WOULD, no?”

Words spelled with OULD are pronounced with two sounds:  Short oo and D.  No L sound is used.  This spelling combination of sounds is pronounced like the “OOD” in the words:  wood, good, stood.

Here are some other examples:

Would

Should

Could
