  • In this American English pronunciation video,

  • were going to go over the pronunciation of the phrase: “Where are you going?”

  • Let’s start with the stress.

  • Where are you going? The question word, ‘where’,

  • and the stressed syllable of the verbgoare the two stressed syllables.

  • DA-da-da-DA-da.

  • Where are you going?

  • Where begins with the lips in a tight circle for the W, where.

  • Then we have the EH as in BED vowel, so drop your jaw for that.

  • Next is the R sound, the tongue pulls back and up

  • towards the roof of the mouth, where, rr, rr.

  • So your jaw will come back up.

  • As the tongue pulls back, the lips will flare out a bit, where, -eh.

  • Now it gets a little complicated

  • because were going to reduce the wordareto just the R sound, rr, rr.

  • Where are, where are.

  • To make it sound like a new syllable, which we want to do,

  • you can pull your tongue down just a bit,

  • and then put it back up towards the roof of the mouth for the R,

  • where are, where are, where are.

  • It should be really fast because it’s in an unstressed syllable.

  • Now we have the wordyou.’ You may find people sayingya”,

  • reducing the OO vowel to the schwa instead you, “ya”.

  • Either way it’s low in pitch and fast because it’s in an unstressed syllable.

  • Where are you, where are you.

  • Where are you going?

  • Now the stressed syllable.

  • Tongue reaches up in the back and touches the soft palate, g-, g- go-.

  • Then we have the OH as in NO Diphthong.

  • Your jaw will need to drop for the first half of that Diphthong, g-oh, g-oh.

  • Then the jaw will come back up as the lips round for the second half, go, go.

  • Then the lips relax for the IH and the back part of the tongue stretches up

  • for the NG consonant, going, going, -ing, -ing, -ing.

  • Make that last syllable really short, it’s unstressed.

  • Going, where are you going? Where are you going?

  • You may hear some people not pronounce the NG at the end but just an N.

  • Where are you goin’? Where are you goin’?

  • To make this sound, raise the front part of the tongue

  • to the roof of the mouth instead of the back.

  • Where are you goin’?

  • Let’s watch one more time in slow motion.
