Introduction
As the year comes to a close, December is a month filled with festivities and celebrations. From Christmas to Hanukkah, Kwanzaa to New Year’s Eve, December is a time of joy and reflection. But have you ever stopped to think about the sounds of December? Let’s dive into the pronunciation of the last month of the year.The “D” Sound in December
First on our list is the most obvious sound in the word December – the “D”. Many English learners struggle with this sound because they tend to pronounce it like a “T” or a soft “TH”. However, the “D” sound in December is important because it also appears in other common English words such as “doctor”, “bed”, and “made”. To pronounce the “D”, place your tongue behind your front teeth and push air out of your mouth as you vibrate your vocal cords.Silent Letters in December
