If you are a non-native English speaker, learning how to correctly pronounce the word “belief” is essential for effective communication. The correct pronunciation of “belief” is “bih-LEEF.”

First, the “b” should be pronounced as a soft, short “b” sound as if you’re saying the letter “b” without exhaling. Next, the “i” should be pronounced as a short, soft “i” sound.

Next, the “l” should be pronounced as a longer “l” sound, like you’re saying “lah.” Finally, the “eef” should be pronounced as a short “e” sound followed by a “f” sound.

To practice, try saying the word slowly and emphasizing each syllable: “bih-LEEF.” If you’re still having trouble saying the word, try repeating it several times out loud and focusing on the pronunciation of each letter. With practice, you’ll be able to correctly pronounce “belief” quickly and confidently in no time!
