Pronunciation

mother/ˈmʌðər/
The th is the soft, buzzing one, like in "the".
tongue/tʌŋ/
One syllable only: nothing is said after the ng, so it rhymes with "young".
stomach/ˈstʌmək/
The ch is a k, and the second part is a flat, quick "muk": STUH-muk.
onion/ˈʌnjən/
Two syllables, UN-yun, with the stress on the first.
touch/tʌtʃ/
The ou is a short "uh", so it rhymes with "much".
done/dʌn/
Rhymes with "sun", not with "bone".
above/əˈbʌv/
The stress is on the second half; the first part is a quick, weak "uh".
