Common Mispronunciations of From
Not FROHM
There is no long o in it. American English uses the uh of cup and British English the short o of lot, and neither holds the vowel.
Not form
The r comes immediately after the f, before the vowel. Swapping the order gives the unrelated word form.
Tip: In running speech this is nearly always weak, reduced to a quick frum or even frm before a consonant.
