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 words ‘want’ vs. ‘won’t’.

Here’s a loose transcription of the words as explained in the episode:
want: waant [IPA: wɑːnt] or wawnt [IPA: wɔːnt] or whunt [IPA: wʌnt ]
won’t: wownt [IPA: woʊnt]
