When it comes to learning how to pronounce the word 'vest', there are a few rules to keep in mind. To begin with, the word has two syllables: 'vest' rhymes with 'guest'. The 'v' is silent, so the word begins with the 'eh' sound, like in 'egg'. The 'e' is pronounced like the 'e' in 'pet', and the 's' is pronounced like a 'z'. The 't' is pronounced with a 'tuh' sound, like in 'but'.

To put it all together, 'vest' is pronounced with the 'eh-z-tuh' sound. To practice, say the word out loud several times, emphasizing the 'eh-z-tuh' sound. Listen to yourself and make adjustments as needed until you can confidently pronounce the word correctly. With practice and dedication, you'll soon master the correct pronunciation of 'vest'.
