[Vocabulary] pronunciation:wrong

[euncu]

Hello,

In every dictionary, the pronunciation of the word wrong is rɒŋ. But whenever I hear it, it always sounds like the w in the beginning is also sounded. Do I hear it incorrectly all the time? I'd like a confirmation as to whether I'm wrong or not from the native-speakers of our forums.

Thanks in advance.

Do I hear it incorrectly all the time?

Yes. there's not a trace of /w/ there.

The word is pronounced as if the "w" is not there. It sounds like "rong".

Listen to all the examples here - I can't here any trace of a "w" in any of them. Can you?
