we'll (well or will)

[Boris Tatarenko]

I'm confused.

I try to pronounce such contractions like he'll, I'll, we'd etc.

How should I pronounce "we'll" as "well" or "will"? (I pronounce it like "will" (because of we + ll) that's why I'm confused).
Thanks in advance.

I pronounce "we'll" as I do 'weal' or 'wheel'. It rhymes with "he'll", as in 'heal' and heel'.
"I'll" as in 'aisle' or 'isle'; "They'll" to rhyme with 'sail, sale'; "You'll" as in 'Yule'.
They all have long vowels.

'Will' and 'we'll' can sound slightly dissimilar.

'We'll' sounds more like 'wheel'. Practice by saying 'we' then adding the 'll' sound.

Thank you for replies.

Can I say that "we'd" sounds as "weed"?

Yes. Always a long vowel for "X'd" terms as well.
