How to pronounce knowledge

The trap

The k is silent, and the first vowel is not the one in “know”. It is NOL-ij, not “NO-ledge”.

Tip. Start with the vowel of “not”, and end with the “ij” of “bridge”.

Say it in a sentence

1. Knowledge is power. Practice
2. She has a deep knowledge of history. Practice
