English words can be really confusing sometimes. In these how-to-pronounce episodes published on Fridays, I’ll help you with the pronunciation of confusing words and common names. This week we’re going to talk about the word ‘quarter’.

Here’s a loose transcription of the word as explained in the episode: Quarter: kor-d’r [IPA: ˈkɔːɹɾəɹ] or kwor-d’r [IPA: ˈkwɔːɹɾəɹ]
