How to Pronounce queue
Language: English (from French) IPA: /kjuː/
Pronunciation explanation
Pronounced exactly like the letter "Q". Just /kjuː/. Five letters, but only one is pronounced. Queue is the only English word where removing 4 of its letters still leaves it sounding the same — q-u-e-u-e: remove "ueue" and you still have "q".
Practice tip
It sounds like the letter Q. That's it. KYOO.
