Press record, say "worcester" once or twice at normal speed, then stop. You will see which syllables matched and what to change.

## Worcester syllables

Worcester has 2 syllables: WUUS-tur.

1. WUUS wʊs
2. tur tɚ

WUUS-tur, two syllables, and the middle "-ce-" vanishes entirely. The same rule gives you Leicester (LES-tur) and Gloucester (GLOS-tur) — an English place name ending in "-cester" always loses the "ce".

## Sounds to watch

### The w sound

Round your lips as if for oo and glide into the next vowel. No teeth contact, or it turns into a v.

### The er vowel

American er (as in her) is a single vowel with the tongue bunched back. Keep the r quality through the whole vowel.
