The teacher revises the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by describing how the /w/ sound is pronounced

 

/w/

The /w/ sound is pronounced when the soft part of the roof of your mouth is raised, your tongue is in a position similar to that assumed in the pronunciation of /u:/ and your lips are forward and rounded. However, /w/ is more rounded when saying words like woo, wood and war than when saying with, west and we.
