Learning how to correctly pronounce rhetoric can help you improve your English speaking skills and make a great impression on native English speakers. Pronouncing rhetoric correctly is not difficult and can be done with a few simple steps.
To pronounce rhetoric, start by saying the word "ruh-tur-ik." The "r" should be pronounced with a light trill, and the "uh" should be pronounced with an open mouth and a relaxed jaw. The "tur" should be pronounced with the tongue slightly more forward than normal and the "ik" should be pronounced with the tip of the tongue lightly touching the back of the top front teeth.
When you say the word, the emphasis should be on the first syllable, "ruh." Each syllable should be distinct from one another and the word should be pronounced at a slightly slower than normal pace.
Practice saying the word "rhetoric" out loud a few times and you will soon have the pronunciation down. With a bit of practice, you will be able to correctly pronounce rhetoric and show off your English speaking skills to native English speakers.
