Most Common Words: VERY 📈

Very

An adjective or an adverb. 

This word adds intensity  and I think because of that, 

we tend to stress it even more.

I'm very tired. 

So here, we have the EH as  in bed vowel followed by R. 

Again, the r does change the vowel here. It comes after the vowel in a stressed syllable. 

Pure EH as in bed is EH. EH plus R - EH-R. 

That's not how we pronounce it. It's not, "VEH-UR," but it's Ver-. 

So the vowel there, ve, eh- eh- eh. 

Has a lot less jaw drop - very. 

Than a pure EH -very. Also watch the ending EE vowel. 

Some people make it too relaxed  and it sounds like IH - very. 

Make sure your tongue stays high. Very, y-, y-, y-, y-, very.
