If you're a non-native English speaker and you're looking to learn how to correctly pronounce the word "tongue," you've come to the right place! The word "tongue" is pronounced with a short "u" sound, like that in the word "but," and is followed by a short "n" sound, like that in the word "not." The "g" is then pronounced like a "j" without any sound at the end. So altogether, the word "tongue" is pronounced "tuhnj."

It's important to emphasize the "u" sound in "tongue" to make sure you're saying it correctly. To do this, start with your lips slightly apart and make a small, tight "u" sound in the back of your throat. Then, without releasing the "u" sound, move your tongue up to the roof of your mouth and make a short "n" sound. Finally, move your tongue back down to the bottom of your mouth and make the "g" sound like a "j" without any sound at the end.

Practice this a few times and soon you'll be saying "tongue" like a native English speaker! With a bit of practice, you'll be able to confidently pronounce any English word you come across.
