NATIVE SPEAKERS SAY: FULL vs FOOLAdded:
Your mouth position matters more than you think when saying full and fool.
Many learners pronounce them the same way, but actually they're different. The wrong way to say them is with the same vowel sound, like fool.
The right way to say full is with a shorter U sound, like F U L, and fool is with a longer U sound, like fool. Say it with me. Full, F U L, full. Now, let's practice. I have a full tank of gas, but I feel like a fool for forgetting my wallet.
