How to pronounce the word study
What is the quickest way to improve your pronunciation?
Change how you pronounce the ‘u’ in the word study. Most people pronounce study like stoody, or “stew dee” with a long u (like in the vowel sound in ‘you’).
Try to pronounce ‘study’ with the short u sound. It sounds like the vowel in cup, up, much, love, above.

Also remember that in English words that start with s do not have the e sound before it as they often do in Portuguese.
Some of my students have said “estudy” instead of study. There is no vowel sound preceding the s.
