TRANSCRIPT
Hello there! This is the "Sounds American" channel.
In this video, we're going to talk about the American vowel sound /ɔ/, as in the word "on." You can also hear this sound in words like "off," "cause," "all," or "saw."
We'll be using a special phonetic symbol — /ɔ/ — for this sound.
The /ɔ/ can be hard to reproduce for many people and it often gets mispronounced. Keep watching to learn how to avoid shortening this vowel and to practice it in words.
Let's find out how to make this sound.
OK, to pronounce the /ɔ/ sound, you should focus on the position of your jaw, lips, and tongue.
Open your mouth as wide as possible, and round your lips.
Flatten your tongue and pull it back. Place your tongue very low in your mouth.
The tip of your tongue should be touching the back of your bottom front teeth.
Remember, the /ɔ/ is a very open sound, so your jaw should be as open as possible.
Let's try saying it: /ɔ/, /ɔ/, /ɔ/.
[Pronunciation exercise]
Now, let's practice this sound in some words.
You'll see a word on the screen and hear its pronunciation. Like this.
You'll have a few seconds to pronounce the word, if you want to.
Let's begin.

• ball
• blog
• boss
• bought

By the way, did you know that the /ɔ/ sound is represented by the letter 'o' in only 30% of cases?
More on the spelling:
most often, the /ɔ/ sound is written as the letter 'o,' as in the word "on."
In the rest of the words with this sound, it's written as the combination of letters 'au,' as in the word "cause," as a single letter 'a,' as in the word "water," and also as the following combination of letters:
'al,' as in the word "call,"
'aw,' as in the word "saw,"

The open-mid back rounded vowel, or low-mid back rounded vowel, is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɔ⟩. The IPA symbol is a turned letter c and both the symbol and the sound are commonly called "open-o". The name open-o represents the sound, in that it is like the sound represented by ⟨o⟩, the close-mid back rounded vowel, except it is more open. It also represents the symbol, which can be remembered as an o which has been "opened" by removing part of the closed circular shape.
The IPA prefers the terms "close" and "open" for vowels, and the name of the article follows this. However, a large number of linguists, perhaps a majority, prefer the terms "high" and "low".

This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Open-mid back rounded vowel
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Roundedness
In phonetics, vowel roundedness refers to the amount of rounding in the lips during the articulation of a vowel. It is labialization of a vowel. When pronouncing a rounded vowel, the lips form a circular opening, whereas unrounded vowels (also called spread vowels) are pronounced with the lips relaxed. In most languages, front vowels tend to be unrounded, whereas back vowels tend to be rounded. But some languages, such as French and German, distinguish rounded and unrounded front vowels of the same height, whereas Vietnamese distinguishes rounded and unrounded back vowels of the same height. Alekano has only unrounded vowels. In the International Phonetic Alphabet vowel chart, rounded vowels are the ones that appear on the right in each pair of vowels. There are also diacritics, U+0339 ̹ COMBINING RIGHT HALF RING BELOW and U+031C ̜ COMBINING LEFT HALF RING BELOW, to indicate greater and lesser degrees of rounding, respectively. These 'more' and 'less rounded' diacritics are sometimes also used with consonants to indicate degrees of labialization.

Open-mid vowel
An open-mid vowel (also mid-open vowel, low-mid vowel, mid-low vowel or half-open vowel) is any in a class of vowel sound used in some spoken languages. The defining characteristic of an open-mid vowel is that the tongue is positioned one third of the way from an open vowel to a close vowel.

The open-mid vowels that have dedicated symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet are:
Other open-mid vowels can be indicated with diacritics of relative articulation applied to letters for neighboring vowels.

TRANSCRIPT
Hello there! This is the "Sounds American" channel.
In this video, we're going to talk about the American vowel sound /ɔ/, as in the word "on." You can also hear this sound in words like "off," "cause," "all," or "saw."
We'll be using a special phonetic symbol — /ɔ/ — for this sound.
The /ɔ/ can be hard to reproduce for many people and it often gets mispronounced. Keep watching to learn how to avoid shortening this vowel and to practice it in words.
Let's find out how to make this sound.
OK, to pronounce the /ɔ/ sound, you should focus on the position of your jaw, lips, and tongue.
Open your mouth as wide as possible, and round your lips.
Flatten your tongue and pull it back. Place your tongue very low in your mouth.
The tip of your tongue should be touching the back of your bottom front teeth.
Remember, the /ɔ/ is a very open sound, so your jaw should be as open as possible.
Let's try saying it: /ɔ/, /ɔ/, /ɔ/.
[Pronunciation exercise]
Now, let's practice this sound in some words.

TRANSCRIPT
Hello there! This is the "Sounds American" channel.
In this video, we're going to talk about the American vowel sound /ɔ/, as in the word "on." You can also hear this sound in words like "off," "cause," "all," or "saw."
We'll be using a special phonetic symbol — /ɔ/ — for this sound.
The /ɔ/ can be hard to reproduce for many people and it often gets mispronounced. Keep watching to learn how to avoid shortening this vowel and to practice it in words.
Let's find out how to make this sound.
OK, to pronounce the /ɔ/ sound, you should focus on the position of your jaw, lips, and tongue.
Open your mouth as wide as possible, and round your lips.
Flatten your tongue and pull it back. Place your tongue very low in your mouth.
The tip of your tongue should be touching the back of your bottom front teeth.
Remember, the /ɔ/ is a very open sound, so your jaw should be as open as possible.
Let's try saying it: /ɔ/, /ɔ/, /ɔ/.
[Pronunciation exercise]
Now, let's practice this sound in some words.
You'll see a word on the screen and hear its pronunciation. Like this.
You'll have a few seconds to pronounce the word, if you want to.
Let's begin.

The open-mid back rounded vowel, or low-mid back rounded vowel, is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɔ⟩. The IPA symbol is a turned letter c and both the symbol and the sound are commonly called "open-o". The name open-o represents the sound, in that it is like the sound represented by ⟨o⟩, the close-mid back rounded vowel, except it is more open. It also represents the symbol, which can be remembered as an o which has been "opened" by removing part of the closed circular shape.
The IPA prefers the terms "close" and "open" for vowels, and the name of the article follows this. However, a large number of linguists, perhaps a majority, prefer the terms "high" and "low".

Remember that the key to pronunciation is physical and the name tells us about how the sound is made physically. In this case your tongue is low and at the back of your mouth. Rounded here means your lips make a round shape but the mouth is open a little.
All vowels are made through the mouth and are voiced so you vibrate your vocal chords to make the sound.
It is similar to the /ɔ:/ sound, but it is shorter.
/ɒ/ not /ɔ:/.
To produce the sound put your tongue low and at the back of your mouth and lightly push your lips together while making a short voiced sound.
This video is part of our series on phonetics and pronunciation for learners of English as a foreign language.
Phonetics is the science of pronunciation. It can be helpful for people learning English because one of the most difficult things about the language is the spelling and pronunciation. English is not very phonetic and as a result the same letters are often pronounced in many different ways in different words.
The IPA helps by providing a way to write words as they are pronounced. The normal alphabet only has 26 characters but there are 44 different sounds that are used to pronounce words. As well as that, most word in English originate from other languages like Greek, Latin and French to name just a few and in many cases the the language of origin influences how the word is pronounced.
The IPA provides a symbol (phoneme) for each sound so the correct pronunciation can be written or printed in dictionaries.
This video along with the others in our pronunciation series helps language learners to hear the correct pronunciation and also to know how to produce the sound of each phoneme.

TRANSCRIPT
Hello there! This is the "Sounds American" channel.
In this video, we're going to talk about the American vowel sound /ɔ/, as in the word "on." You can also hear this sound in words like "off," "cause," "all," or "saw."
We'll be using a special phonetic symbol — /ɔ/ — for this sound.
The /ɔ/ can be hard to reproduce for many people and it often gets mispronounced. Keep watching to learn how to avoid shortening this vowel and to practice it in words.
Let's find out how to make this sound.
OK, to pronounce the /ɔ/ sound, you should focus on the position of your jaw, lips, and tongue.
Open your mouth as wide as possible, and round your lips.
Flatten your tongue and pull it back. Place your tongue very low in your mouth.
The tip of your tongue should be touching the back of your bottom front teeth.
Remember, the /ɔ/ is a very open sound, so your jaw should be as open as possible.
Let's try saying it: /ɔ/, /ɔ/, /ɔ/.
[Pronunciation exercise]
Now, let's practice this sound in some words.
You'll see a word on the screen and hear its pronunciation. Like this.
You'll have a few seconds to pronounce the word, if you want to.
Let's begin.

By the way, did you know that the /ɔ/ sound is represented by the letter 'o' in only 30% of cases?
More on the spelling:
most often, the /ɔ/ sound is written as the letter 'o,' as in the word "on."
In the rest of the words with this sound, it's written as the combination of letters 'au,' as in the word "cause," as a single letter 'a,' as in the word "water," and also as the following combination of letters:
'al,' as in the word "call,"
'aw,' as in the word "saw,"

The open-mid back rounded vowel, or low-mid back rounded vowel, is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɔ⟩. The IPA symbol is a turned letter c and both the symbol and the sound are commonly called "open-o". The name open-o represents the sound, in that it is like the sound represented by ⟨o⟩, the close-mid back rounded vowel, except it is more open. It also represents the symbol, which can be remembered as an o which has been "opened" by removing part of the closed circular shape.
The IPA prefers the terms "close" and "open" for vowels, and the name of the article follows this. However, a large number of linguists, perhaps a majority, prefer the terms "high" and "low".

Remember that the key to pronunciation is physical and the name tells us about how the sound is made physically. In this case your tongue is low and at the back of your mouth. Rounded here means your lips make a round shape but the mouth is open a little.
All vowels are made through the mouth and are voiced so you vibrate your vocal chords to make the sound.
It is similar to the /ɔ:/ sound, but it is shorter.
/ɒ/ not /ɔ:/.
To produce the sound put your tongue low and at the back of your mouth and lightly push your lips together while making a short voiced sound.
This video is part of our series on phonetics and pronunciation for learners of English as a foreign language.
Phonetics is the science of pronunciation. It can be helpful for people learning English because one of the most difficult things about the language is the spelling and pronunciation. English is not very phonetic and as a result the same letters are often pronounced in many different ways in different words.
The IPA helps by providing a way to write words as they are pronounced. The normal alphabet only has 26 characters but there are 44 different sounds that are used to pronounce words. As well as that, most word in English originate from other languages like Greek, Latin and French to name just a few and in many cases the the language of origin influences how the word is pronounced.
The IPA provides a symbol (phoneme) for each sound so the correct pronunciation can be written or printed in dictionaries.
This video along with the others in our pronunciation series helps language learners to hear the correct pronunciation and also to know how to produce the sound of each phoneme.

Open-mid back rounded vowel
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
