In the US, the vowel sound in these is pronounced the same. However, sometimes the word "beer" is "drawled out" slightly, BEE-yrr, while "clear" is generally pronounced more abruptly, CLEER.

AnonymousSo how do Americans ****ounce these words?With the same vowel. Only the initial "b" and "cl" sounds make those words different.
