Dear Teachers
I come up with the pronunciation of "toady" in Cambridge dictionary website toady noun - definition in British English Dictionary & Thesaurus - Cambridge Dictionary Online. The first syllable is /əʊ/ for UK pronunciation and /oʊ/ for US. But what the difference in the sound?
[h=1]toadynoun[/h]
/ˈtəʊ.di/
/ˈtoʊ-/ [C] disapproving
When I look up the phonetic symbol table in this link Glossary of Linguistic Terms n-z (attached photo), there is no /oʊ/. So how is /oʊ/ pronounced?
Please advise.
Regards
