Like the other diphthong sounds we have learned, the /ʊƏ/ sound
has two single vowel sounds joined together to make the one
sound.
To make the /ʊƏ/ sound, you start with the single /ʊ/ sound
and the single /Ə/ sound. You move from the /ʊ/ sound to the /Ə/
sound ‒ your voice glides from the first (1st) to the second (2nd)
sound.
You say and hold the first sound /ʊ/ and then say the
second sound /Ə/ quickly, as a short sound. When you say the /ʊƏ/
sound, you want to say about 60% of the /ʊ/ sound and about 40%
of the /Ə/ sound. You need to make sure that you do arrive at (say)
the second sound, /Ə/.
So, what we do when we make this sound is,
we take the /ʊ/ sound and put it together with the /Ə/ and end up
saying a new sound, /ʊƏ/.
