PRONUNCIATION: How to say “-ious” endings correctly in English

Learn the different ways to say -ious endings in English. Precious, various, obvious, anxious, superstitious: What do these words have in common? They all end in ious. How do you pronounce the ending ious? Did you know there are two ways to pronounce ious? Many learners make mistakes with ious and pronounce it incorrectly. Watch this easy English class and improve your pronunciation immediately. In this video, I will teach you that we change our pronunciation of ious depending on what letter before the ious. For example, the words anxious, conscious and cautious share the same ious pronunciation, while obvious and various have a different ious pronounciation. Learning about ious pronunciations can also help you improve your English spelling.
