Well, I looked it up, and according to my dictionary "to" can have a long "oo"-sound like in "too" and "two". However, if it's not stressed, it sounds different.

Gooood. 😉

By the way, "good" doesn't sound at all like "god", but Norwegian "god" means "good" and is pronounced like "goo".

give it up ivangrice, in a few years all the little nippers round your place'll be speakin' with a twang ... you want to fit in, don't you? ...

best to get ahead of the game ... if there are no Texan English schools at your locale, you could fly out to Midland and pick it up pretty quick ... lot's easier than Chinese and bound to be more lucrative in the long run ...
