English words can be really confusing sometimes. In the how-to-pronounce episodes released every Friday, I'll help you with the pronunciation of confusing or challenging words.

Here's a loose transcription of the words as explained in the episode:

Though: thow [IPA: ðoʊ]

Thought: thaat [IPA: θɑːt]

Tough: tuhf [IPA: tʌf]
