Pronouncing the word "courage" correctly is important if you want to be understood when speaking English. The word has two syllables, with the emphasis on the first syllable.

To start, pronounce the "cou" as if it were spelled "kuh." The "uh" sound is short and slightly lowered in pitch.

Next, pronounce the "rage" as if it were spelled "ray-j." The "j" sound should be clear and distinct, and the "ray" should be slightly drawn out.

Put the two syllables together and you have the word "courage." The emphasis should be on the first syllable, "cou," so make sure that you say it slightly louder than "rage."

Practice saying the word out loud a few times and pay attention to the pronunciation. Once you feel comfortable, you can confidently use the word "courage" in your English conversations!
