How Do You Spell DOLF?

Pronunciation: [dˈɒlf] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Dolf" is quite simple, but the pronunciation is what can cause confusion. In IPA phonetic transcription, the correct pronunciation of "Dolf" is /dɒlf/. The first letter, "d", is pronounced with the tongue touching the roof of the mouth. The vowel sound in the word is "o" but pronounced with the mouth slightly open. The last letter, "f", is pronounced by putting the bottom lip against the top teeth and releasing air. When said correctly, "Dolf" sounds like "dolf" with a subtle "o" sound.
