Please listen to my pronunciation of "Don't worry" and let me know your opinion. pronunciation


Please make sure you write in complete sentences on the forum, and make it clear what you are asking us to do.

Your pronunciation of both words needs work. The "o" in "don't" needs to be a longer letter, as if you saying the letter "o". With "worry", the "o" should sound like the "u" in "hum/bum/tug/hug".

You can listen to fourteen native speakers from different regions pronounce "don't" HERE.
You can listen to eight native speakers from different regions pronounce "worry" HERE.

Your first effort sounded close to perfect to my ear, mohammedabo, and the second version wrong.

I recorded my question and wrote a hint of it.

I watched a video describing the sound in worry as same as in word and work.
