Bacon
, salmon
, luncheon
, fusion
, and pigeon
all have an -on ending in common. But just by looking at these words, you cannot guess their pronunciation. That’s why I have put together a list of over 20 words that end in -on
whose pronunciations are not obvious. In this lesson, I will teach you how to pronounce all these words, and I will give you a phonetic spelling for each. It will also be a good vocabulary review since I will tell you what each word means. It’s important to pronounce -on
words correctly if you want to be properly understood by native speakers.

Hi Ronnie,
thank you for your very useful lesson.
I have one question. Would it be not better to write the pronunciation in the fonetical way – like in all learners dictionaries ?
beɪkən, sæmən, ˈʌnjən, … (always schwa plus n)
With -in it isn´t either so precise or good for the learners´s future.
The most difficult think is, if I have to eliminate my mitakes and errors I have lerant in the past wrong.
Absolutely fantastic one, as usual. Thanks sooooooooooooooo much, Ronnie
Sorry, but you have to change the way you teach. it is so funny
Hi Ronnie! It’s completely new for me, I am surprised, because I really did not know this correct form of pronunciation
Thank you Ronnie!
