If you are a non-native English speaker, learning how to correctly pronounce the word "bean" is essential for successful communication. The correct pronunciation of the word "bean" is "bēn".

When pronouncing the word "bean", the first sound is a voiced bilabial stop, which is made with both lips. To make this sound, start by pressing both lips together and then releasing them quickly. The second sound is the schwa, which is an unstressed and reduced vowel sound, and is represented by "ē". To make this sound, relax your jaw and allow your tongue to drop slightly in the middle of your mouth. Finally, the last sound is a voiced alveolar nasal, which is made by the tongue pressing against the ridge behind your upper front teeth. To make this sound, start with your tongue in the same position as the schwa sound, and then close your mouth and open your nasal passage.

Practice saying the word "bean" out loud several times until you can pronounce it correctly. Also, practice using it in context by creating sentences with the word "bean" in it. With enough practice, you will be able to pronounce "bean" correctly and confidently.
