Hello ensan, and welcome.
Your post only had a link to a Facebook page, which I have duly removed.
This is an English language-learning forum. If you have questions in that regard, you're welcome to submit them. Otherwise, you risk getting banned if you post such links in future.
Sure. (Space needed after a full stop) Now it is a YouTube link.
Your answers, please.
I think all of these people are trying hard to say it as clearly as possible. That's not how they'd say it in continuous speech.
I more or less agree.
The two American speakers there are not great models. It seems that they are unnaturally forcing an extra syllable. The second of the two British speakers is not great, either. The first of the British ones is the best model.
I agree, but in slow or emphatic speech I find it natural to pronounce the second /u/.
A typical learner pronunciation inaccuracy with this word is precisely that the second 'u' is pronounced where it oughtn't be.
You are so helpful. I noticed that no one commented on the video directly.
By the way, I used to say it as the dictionary not the woman .
