How to make this sound:
Video Text:
The ew diphthong. This combines the y, y, uh-y, Y consonant sound with the oo, closed oo. Ew, ew. As you can see, the lips come in and round. The tongue also shifts. On the y, it's like that, up against the teeth, y, y, the bottom teeth, and it then shifts: yy-oo, ew. So it comes away from the front a little bit because in the oo vowel it's fattenting up a little bit in the back, which means there's not as much tongue to have room to curl a bit like that against the teeth. So though it is still touching the teeth, it comes back like that. Ew, eeew. Sample words: you, view. Sample sentence: There are few true beauties.
