How to pronounce 'vehicle'
This lesson is about a moving machine with wheels and an engine. A vehicle.
Veh hi cle
Many students pronounce this word with three syllables. They also mispronounce them:
Vay he kle
In fact, this word is pronounced as a two syllable word – the 'i' in the middle is not pronounced:
Veh i cle
Veh is pronounced like ear or near.
Ear near veer veh
Listen and practise. Repeat after me:
Ear near veer veh veh veh veh
The second syllable, cle is pronounced like pull.
pull full kull cle
Listen and practice. Repeat after me:
pull full kull cle cle cle cle
Now let's put the two sounds together.
Veh (veer) cle (kull)
Listen and practise. Repeat after me:
vehicle vehicle vehicle vehicle vehicle
