How to Pronounce POOR, POUR, POOL - American English Pronunciation Lesson

[@Fishinator33]

i had a 7 year argument with a guy on how to pronounce "poor" he said you pronounce it like pool but with an R instead of L at the end. so thank you for proving me right

[@tarlespeech]

You are welcome!

[@choogheem]

@@tarlespeech but you're wrong, poor and pour are not pronounced the same - poor is po͝or, not por

[@square_wheel]

@@tarlespeech In fact it's an accent thing. The word "poor" can be pronounced to rhyme with "four" or with "tour". Thing is, "four" and "tour" rhyme in some accents, while in others they don't. In non-rhyming accents, "tour" is usually "TOO - er", like "doer" (DO - er)

[@FirozKhan-ut1iq]

Good video on better pronouncing words like poor/ pour and pool.

[@tarlespeech]

Thanks a lot.

[@Sarah-tl2ce]

Pour, Poor 포얼 Pool 푸을 Thank you so much

[@tarlespeech]

Thanks for helping others! Much appreciated!

[@Daniel-cz9gt]

Pour and poor pronounced the same? It may be a regional thing but I thought the vowel in poor sounded like the one in pull and pour sounded exactly like pore.

[@tarlespeech]

HMMM...good point, there is probably a regional variation. Where are you from?

[@Daniel-cz9gt]

I'm Dominican, not a native English speaker.

[@Daniel-cz9gt]

My experiences are limited to what I've heard in movies/series and the time I spent a summer in Missouri.

[@tarlespeech]

The more I think of it, you are correct. Pool and Pull are pronounced differently in many areas of the US. So these words would be too.

[@enrriquechinchilla936]

What an angel you are! Thank you so much!

[@tarlespeech]

Enrrique Chinchilla so sweet! Thank YOU!😘

[@LittleBookworms]

Thank you for your explanation. 'oo' is quite tricky. At first, I thought 'oo' in the word 'poor' has the same sound of that in the word 'moon'. So ... this video is really helpful :)

You are welcome. 😁

[@tarlespeech]

You are welcome. 😁

[@thomashu5730]

Thank you! So there's no subtle difference at all between the POUR and POOR sounds (I thought POUR might sound a little more like pore)? BTW interesting art decor in the back, do you visit Japan and/or China often?

[@tarlespeech]

Yes, exactly, they are the same. I have been to China and Japan once. I was fortunate to spend a summer in China teaching and LOVED the country. Want to visit both China and Japan again!

[@juanvelandia8545]

precisely today i was practicing the pour word, thanks for your explanation but i wish that you make a video with the word battery ,i think its pronunciation is too hard. thanks again happy night

[@tarlespeech]

Juan Velandia good suggestion. I'll add battery to my list! Think of it this way bad-uh-ree.

[@carlospriel]

I always struggled with poor and pour, I thought they couldn't have the same pronounceation

Mom how we can say the regular verbs in English are there someone rule?

[@tarlespeech]

Do you mean in terms of vowels?

[@elodie10016]

I have heard people pronounce poor like pool [ew] sound. For example Danny Vito.

[@tarlespeech]

Yes, that is an acceptable regional variation.

My English is poor.

[@tarlespeech]

No! It is excellent!

[@39717]

You mispronounced the word "poor." One dislike.

[@39717]

It does not resemble pour in sound.

[@tarlespeech]

39717 someone else pointed this out. Regional variations are ok. I focus on getting your meaning across which I feel is most important. Thanks for the feedback.
