It’s sort of like ‘worsh ter shire’, accent on the ‘worsh’. And I think in pronunciation you can just have the ‘shire’ sound like ‘sir’ - ‘shir’

You have to be from New England or old England to pronounce it correctly.

Take the word "wuss" add "stah" and then "sure" and you approximate the correct pronunciation. Subtract "sure" and you get the pronunciation of Worcester. It's not Wooster (that's in Ohio), Worchester, Worsester, or any other way.

Once you master Worcester, try Leicester and Alnwick.
