ππβ€οΈβ€οΈππ ΚΣ Sound: How to Pronounce The ΚΣ Diphthong (/ΚΙ/ Phoneme) ππβ€οΈβ€οΈππ
𧨠ΚΣ sound, as in the words:
β€οΈduring /βdjΚΣrΙͺΕ/
β€οΈsecurity /sΙͺΛkjΚΣrΣti/
β€οΈpoor /pΚΣ/
ππβ€οΈβ€οΈππHow to Pronounce the ΚΣ Soundππβ€οΈβ€οΈππ
The ΚΣ sound is a diphthong which means it is a combination of two vowel sounds that are pronounced within the same syllable. The ΚΣ sound is a combination of /Κ/ and /Σ/.
Like vowels the diphthongs are all made through the mouth and are voiced which means that you vibrate you vocal chords to make the sound.
Unlike with vowels and consonants, when you pronounce a diphthong sound, your mouth will change position and shape as you say the sound, because they combine two vowel sounds. So as you say the /ΚΣ/ sound your mouth will start on the position of the /Κ/ sound and finish on the position of the /Σ/ sound.
So in this case our mouth goes from being almost closed with slightly rounded lips like we are going to kiss someone, /Κ/, to being slightly open with relaxed lips, /Σ/.
ππβ€οΈβ€οΈππHow the ΚΣ Sound is Spelledππβ€οΈβ€οΈππ
One of the most difficult things about learning English is the spelling. This is because spelling is often not phonetic especially the vowels and diphthongs.
So you will find the /ΚΣ/ sound spelled many different ways. But it is often spelled with the letters βuβ, βouβ or βo-oβ, There are not many examples of this sound because it is not very common. In fact the three examples we just heard are the most important ones to know. Here they are again.
