How to Say "London"

🗣️ Step by Step

Say 'lawn' like the grass, then add 'dun' as in 'done' but with a softer 'd' sound. It combines to sound like 'lawn-dun', with emphasis on the first part.

⚠️ Common Mistake

Many people mistakenly pronounce it as 'lon-don', forgetting the 'd' sound after the 'lawn'. They may also emphasize the second syllable instead of the first.

💬 Example

I visited London last summer and loved exploring its historic sites.
