How to pronounce

allow

Are you a non-native English speaker wondering how to pronounce "allow"? It's not as difficult as it seems! Here are a few tips to help you get the hang of it.

First, the "a" should be pronounced like the "a" in "apple." The "l" is soft and should sound like the "l" in "lawn." The second "l" should be pronounced with a bit more force, like the "l" in "laugh." Finally, the "ow" should be pronounced like the "ou" in "out."

So, to practice, try saying the word slowly: "aa-ll-ow." You can also practice by saying a phrase like "I'll allow it," emphasizing the word "allow" each time.

Once you get the hang of it, the word "allow" should be easy to pronounce correctly. Remember to keep the "a" soft, the first "l" light, the second "l" a bit stronger, and the "ow" like "ou" in "out." And with practice, you'll be saying "allow" like a native English speaker in no time!
