If you are a non-native English speaker, learning how to correctly pronounce the word 'route' is essential. The correct pronunciation of 'route' is 'raut' with the 'au' sounding like the 'ou' in 'out'.

To begin, place your tongue at the top of your mouth, behind your front teeth. Next, form your lips into a small circle and blow air through your mouth. Your tongue should not move as you do this. When you are finished, your lips should be in a small, round shape.

To practice, try saying the word 'route' several times, making sure to keep your lips in a round shape and your tongue at the top of your mouth. Repeat the word until you feel comfortable with the pronunciation.

If you are still having difficulty, try saying the word 'out' several times. Notice how your lips make an 'o' shape and your tongue is at the top of your mouth. Now, say the word 'route' and try to make the same sound.

Once you are comfortable with the pronunciation, try saying the word in a sentence. For example, "I need to take a different route home."

By following these steps, you will be able to confidently and correctly pronounce the word 'route.'
