AnonymousCorrect pronunciations are as follows:would you /w?d ju?/tuesday /'tju?zde?/don't you /d??nt ju?/I'd say 'accepted standard' rather than 'correct. You'll often hear /'w?dju/, /'w?dj?/, /'w???/ , / '?u?zd?/ , /'d??n?u:/ , /'d??n?u/ and /'d??n??/ in the everyday conversation of many native speakers of BrE.
