How would you pronounce the name Cora?

[jumpforjoyitsaboy]

Corr-ra
Or
Like Coral without the L?

Honestly, you can't tell difference between aural test and oral test?

How would you manage with a language exam? You wouldn't know which test was on which day - speaking or listening!!!

I'm quite interested to know what accent this is! ( ESOL teacher here)

I've been a languages teacher for 30 years I haven't heard anyone call them aural or oral exams in literally decades. We call them listening and speaking exams (so do the exam boards). Probably at least partly because the two words unhelpfully sound the same. Also because teenage boys snigger if you say the word 'oral'.

In fact I remember that very early in my career, lots of language teachers used to pronounce 'aural' as 'ow-ral' to avoid exactly this problem.

core-ah.
I wouldn't think to pronounce it corra but that could be a linguistic and accent thing.
It's a nice name though. My mate said it reminded her of coronavirus, lol?

I have a fairly RP home counties accent. I've worked in lots of schools and am now in NW England. I've never heard anyone pronounce 'oral' and 'aural' differently (except when deliberately pronouncing 'aural' as 'ow-ral' to avoid confusion).

My wonderful Welsh grandmother's name

Her daughter adopted me

Ah well, it's not a problem where I live - two distinctly different sounds

Laura - Lorra
Cora - Cohra

English vowel sounds are amazing.

Cora to rhyme with flora. Pretty name, I went to school with a Cora.

Not if your Johnathan woss

Northern Irish and say “core-a”.

is the other prononciation you’re suggesting like a cilla black “lorra lorra”? I’ve never heard it pronounced like that.

Cor ra

I'm struggling to pronounce it like coral but without the L. How would that sound like?

Core Ah

Core ah

I just didn't separate the e and the a. I ran it together as I would say it but for you, here it is, Core -a. Plenty of other posters have written it the same way as Core - a. Not just me.

HowJonathsn Ross speaks is not a lisp. I'm sure it has a proper name but it's basically saying w for r.
A lisp is saying th for s

Oral with a C and minus the L?

Core- Rah

Core-uh

Another home counties accent here with no difference between oral and aural. It always seemed very unhelpful to me that they were identical.

Rhotacism

In my scouse accent they sound the same

Core-ah.

I know a Corra, presumably spelt so people would say it that way... but she still gets Core-ah pronunciation

And if I'd said that nobody would have had a clue most people say a lisp ....pedanticism, be paramount.

Long and short Oh sound
ridiculous to say coral (no L). it's Core-Ah

Core-a

If you want it pronounced like Coral without the ‘l’, you’d have to spell it Corra.
