For many English learners, accurately pronouncing similar-sounding words presents a common challenge. Among these, "weren't," "won't," and "world" frequently cause confusion because their consonant sounds are quite alike.

Consider how you pronounce the bolded words in the following sentences:

- We **weren't** very happy about the service.

- I **won't** go without you.

- Climate change affects the whole **world**.

A guide to correctly pronounce these three words is provided below to help clarify the distinctions and improve your spoken English.
