What's different
After w, English spelling shifts. Or is said like "er", as in word, work and worm, and ar is said like "or", as in war, warn and warm. So worm rhymes with term, and warm rhymes with storm.
Unlike walk, warm keeps a round "aw" in American voices, because the r after it holds the lips forward. Listen to the first moment after the w: a round, open "aw" is warm, and a flat, muffled "er" is worm.
聽辨重點
ɜː（work）含糊而扁平，ɔː（walk）圓潤、更深。
現在就開始，聽出差別。
