For many non-native speakers, English pronunciation can be a challenge. One common word that often leaves learners scratching their heads is "school bus". So, how do you pronounce it correctly?
The word "school" is pronounced as "skool". It rhymes with "cool". The "ch" sound in "school" is similar to the "k" sound.
The word "bus" is pronounced as "buhs". It rhymes with "fuss". The "u" sound in "bus" is pronounced as a short "uh" sound, similar to the vowel sound in "hut".
To say "school bus" in English, first, say "skool" as previously described, and then immediately follow it with "buhs". So, the phrase should be pronounced as "skool-buhs".
If you're still having trouble with the pronunciation, try saying each word separately a few times and then gradually speeding up until you can say them smoothly together. Listening to a native speaker pronouncing the word can also be helpful in developing your English pronunciation.
