tongue herevoice ON/ʊ/oo · back-mid vowel
/ʊ/ · oo

Our new sound: /ʊ/   written oo

Almost the same as oooo, but shorter and looser. Lips a little round, but relaxed, and your tongue drops a little — the oo in 'book' and 'good'.

Check yourself: Say 'food', then 'good'. Feel your lips RELAX on the second one, and notice it is shorter.
