This is such a common question I get. So let me tell you how you can pronounce it easily and clearly. Think of it as if there is no O in the word and you just want to transition from the W to the R. That's the first thing. W, R, W. Put it together. Were. Lift the tongue up. Keep your lips rounded. Were. Just like we were. Were. Say it a few times with me. Were. Were. Were. Then you bring the tongue up for the dark L and you tense up here the root of the tongue to create a dark L. O. That's the dark L. Were. O, Were all. And hold it out a little bit. And then you bring the tip of the tongue up to touch the upper palate for the D. That ends the word. World. World. World. Around the world. Well done.
