Hey Guys!
It is generally understood that the pronunciation of the letter U of the English alphabet is a diphthong. Now, do you pronounce U as [iu:] (starting with a vowel sound) or [yu:] (starting with a consonant sound)?
Thank you.
-------------------------------
*vowel sound /i/ (as i in hit); consonant sound /y/ or /j/ (as y in yet).
**All systems of phonetic symbols will be accepted.
