Hey there, it's Hadar and this is the Accent's Way. Today we are going to talk about how to pronounce the word 'genuine'.

大家好，我是 Hadar，这是 the Accent's Way 频道。今天我们要来讲讲怎么读“genuine”这个单词。

I genuinely believe it is an important word to know how to pronounce. Genuine.

我‘由衷地’觉得，知道‘genuine’这个单词怎么发音很重要。“Genuine”。

Three syllables, the first one is 'JEN'. It's like my best friend Jennifer's nickname - Jen.

有三个音节，第一个是‘JEN’。听起来就像我最好的朋友 Jennifer 的昵称——Jen。

"Hey Jen, what's up?" You start with a 'J' sound then 'E' as in 'red' and then you bring the tip of the tongue up for the N - 'JEN'.

“嗨，Jen，你好啊。”先从‘J’的音开始，然后是‘red’里‘E’的发音，再然后就把你的舌尖翘起来发‘N’的音——‘JEN’。

Then it's the word 'yow'. That's the middle syllable, but it sounds like the word 'you'.

接下来是‘yow’。这就是中间的那个音节，听起来就像是‘you’。

JEN-yuw-yuw, JEN-yuw. And then finally in the last syllable, we have a reduced vowel /ə/, the schwa, and an 'N', N.

JEN-yuw-yuw，JEN-yuw。然后是最后一个音节，其中有一个弱化元音 /ə/，非重读音节的元音，然后就是‘N’。

But when you connect the 'yuw' and the 'N', you get something new. Can you guess what it is?

但当你把‘yuw’和‘N’连起来的时候，就会有一个新的读音了。你能猜到是什么吗？

"yuw-w'n, yuw-w'n." That's right! A 'W' sound.

“yuw-w'n, yuw-w'n.”没错！是‘W’的发音。

"yuw-w'n" - "JEN-yuw-w'n". The primary stress is on the first syllable, so it's higher in pitch and longer- "JEN-yuw-w'n".

“yuw-w'n”——“JEN-yuw-w'n”。主重音在第一个音节上，所以它的音更高、更长——“JEN-yuw-w'n”。

"That was a genuine gesture." A genuine gesture.

“那是个真诚的姿态。”“A genuine gesture.”

"That is a genuine tongue twister". Genuine.

“那是个真正的绕口令。”“Genuine.”

So there is no confusion, cuz' I write English phonetically unlike everyone else writes it with these weird spelling patterns. I have no idea why but that's just how it is.
