Pronounciating short forms

Hi,

There are two short forms that I don't know how to pronounciate.
It's I'd(I would) and weren't(were not).

I have read them in long form so far, and I honestly thought they can't be read in short form, I only thought even if they are found on an article, you read them in long form.

I found out very recently that they can be read in short form and I am having a difficulty in finding a site for it.

Could someone help me pronounciate them with the phonemic alphabets, please.



Thanks in advance.

"I'd" is pronounced to rhyme with "tide", "ride", "pride", and "side". "weren't" rhymes with "learnt" and "burnt". CJ By the way, it's not "pronunciate"; it's "pronounce".
