A short instructional video by Hadar Shemesh teaching how to pronounce the single English word “order.” The speaker gives step-by-step articulatory cues (round the lips for "or", pull the tongue in for the R, a very light D between vowels, then quickly push the tongue forward for the final R), models the pronunciation, and prompts the viewer to try.
This is one of the words that people ask me how to pronounce the most. Order. So let me explain how to pronounce this word once and for all. You start with or, or round your lips or, and pull the tongue in for the R. Or. Then you want to push the tongue forward, but really quickly, because the D between two vowels and yes, the first r or D is very light. And then after that light D, you pull the tongue in really quickly for the R again. Order. My secret is to hold out the O and hold out the first R, and then relax the tongue and push it forward like a slingshot, really quickly to touch right behind the teeth. Order. Order. Now you try it.
