produce

0Hi there,02br
02br
00I want to ask a question about the punctuations of the 'du' sound in the words such as produce, introduce, duty, due. I know there are two ways to say the sounds in British English. One is /dju:/ and the other is /00dʒu:/.02br
02br
00I ,however,00 heard some British say 'du', which is in-between the above two sounds. It sounds like /00dʒju:/. 02br
02br
00Which one is the usualy way that British would say?02br

10The standard British pronunciation is [dju:]. However, when 't' and 'd' are palatised (which is sometimes the case before certain sounds), it becomes [dZu:].0-
