Default Re: sue n susan

Sue is pronounced, [su:] and Susan is pronounced various ways,

[1] the 'u' in under, [su:zən]
[2] the 'e' in bed, [su:zɛn]
[3] the 'i' in sit, [su:zIn]
[4] no vowel [su:zn]

Note, the 2nd "s" is pronounced [z]

Click on the link below to hear the sounds for the vowels [ə], [ɛ], [I], [æ].

Yes, and don't forget the zero-schwa version: [soozn].
