How to pronounce should

Here is how to pronounce should: /ʃʊd/.

• The initial sound is a “sh” sound, like in “shoe” or “ship.”
• The vowel sound is a short “uh” sound, similar to the “oo” in “book” or “look.”
• The “d” at the end is a soft “d” sound, pronounced by lightly tapping the tongue against the upper front teeth.

To pronounce the word “should,” start with the “sh” sound, follow with the “uh” sound, and end with the soft “d” sound. It is important not to emphasize the vowel sound too much—it should be quite short. It does not have the elongated “oo” sound as in “food” or “moon.”
