If you're a non-native English speaker who wants to know how to pronounce the word "friend," then this article is for you.
First, remember that the word "friend" is a two-syllable word: "frend" (rhymes with "bend").
The first syllable is pronounced with the "f" sound, with the lips pressed tightly together. The tongue should be placed behind the back of the front teeth, and the "f" sound should be slightly prolonged.
The second syllable is pronounced with a short, strong "end" sound. The tongue should be placed behind the back of the front teeth, and the mouth should be wide open. The "end" sound should be short and crisp.
When these two syllables are put together, the result is the word "friend." To practice, try repeating the word several times in a row, emphasizing the two syllables and making sure to elongate the "f" sound. With enough practice, you'll be able to confidently say "friend" in no time!
