Accrued

IPA [əˈkruːd]
Sounds Like (uh-krood)

Breakdown

First syllable (uh)
This syllable consists of a schwa sound (ə), which is a neutral, unstressed vowel sound. It's pronounced like the 'a' in 'about', made with relaxed mouth and tongue positions.

Second syllable (krood) (stress)
Start with a hard 'k' sound, made by pressing the back of your tongue against the soft palate and releasing with a puff of air. Follow with 'r', where the tongue curls back slightly. End with a long 'oo' sound (uː) as in 'food', followed by a voiced 'd' sound. The 'd' is made by touching your tongue to the ridge behind your upper teeth while vibrating your vocal cords.
