How to Pronounce Oregano in American Accent #learning #learnenglish

In American English, the word "oregano" is typically pronounced as "uh-REG-uh-noh."

Here's a breakdown of the pronunciation:

- The first syllable "uh" has a schwa sound (a neutral "uh" sound).
- The second syllable "REG" has a short "e" sound, like in the word "egg."
- The third syllable "uh" also has a schwa sound.
- The final syllable "noh" has a long "o" sound, like in the word "no."

So, when pronouncing "oregano" in an American accent, you would say "uh-REG-uh-noh," with the primary stress on the second syllable.

The key points are:
- Schwa sound for the first and third syllables
- Short "e" sound for the second syllable
- Long "o" sound for the final syllable
- Stress on the second syllable

This is the standard American English pronunciation. Some regional accents may have slight variations, but this is the most common way to say "oregano" in the US.

The reduction of the first and third syllables to schwa sounds, as well as the placement of the primary stress on the second syllable, are characteristic features of the American English pronunciation of this word.
