How to pronounce the english word OUR?I don't speak english as a first language?

  • I don't understand when singers pronounce the word OUR because in my country mexico well where I learned in my school the pronunciation is similar to hour can you help me please thanks? now I hear it's like a, can you tell me a good dictionary online where I can hear the real pronunciation?, I am a spanish speaker and I am learning english please help

  • Answer:

    In British English people pronounce it both as 'hour' and 'are' depending on which part of the country they are from and both are acceptable. I would say however that pronouncing it as 'hour' is a little more formal and so possibly a better bet for a non- native speaker :)

Most people pronounce it like the word "are." Some pronounce it like the word "hour." In the US, anyway.
