    Default pronunciation

    hello there,
    could someone help me with the pronunciation for ( George's )?

    Does the end of it sound like the end of "gorgeous"?

    thanks

    Default Re: pronunciation

    I pronounce those words as follows:

    George's [dʒɪz]
    gorgeous [dʒɪs] [dʒəs]

    Notice that the final sound in Geoege's is voiced [z], and the final sound in gorgeous is voicelss [s].
