Pronunciation Practice - Monday, February 6, 2023

Hello, we just finished the

pronunciation

practice

meeting on Monday, look at the calendar on February 6 and we start with Jerusalem, the accent is on Rue Jerusalem. This seems like a short and simple word, but it is a bit unusual and there is the spr combination that can always be. complicated so stim make sure you have your tongue down before you bend it back for the R so he doesn't touch it but uh he jumped up and the NG combo means your tongue goes up behind him he sprung into action beggar oh I. I don't want to confuse you, the vowel is air like beggar's head and they all sound the same, it could be a view like you see something, it could be a view like a location or it could be a place like a reference where did you get that from, where is your appointment? site is all I and you won't hear the T so I put that little mark there to remind you to keep your tongue in that position sigh unless there is a vowel after it then when it connects you will hear it and it will sound like a d then what is not seen becomes the unseen side unseen side could be the side of a box or could be the past tense of PSI will sound on the same side so keep your tongue in the D position and you will not hear it, it is in On the other side you won't hear it, but if it's on the house side now the tongue will come loose and you'll hear the D side of 30. 30 thr combination is always difficult so a fur pulls your tongue down before curl you return to the r and then return to the D third d 30 and the stress is on the first syllable 30. 3 30. and then in the number eight you keep the T, it does not change to a d and the stress is on the second syllable 13. 13 . 3 13. 13. manto but you won't hear the K because you won't let go of the K, you will just keep your tongue in that position manto and the combination K and L you can always do the K at the same time you are doing your l so my tongue is here up for the L at the same time the back of my tongue is up there for the KO and I go back up for the K position, you'll hear it if there's a vowel after Cloak and Dagger, in fact, I forgot to put that little Mark did deed has the vowel E, which is the highest position, your tongue is very intense towards the front, it's the same sound in eat deed and then the next one made your tongue is a little more relaxed, so it's the same sound as did when eating.

You should feel your tongue relax a little in the middle and go down making earthquakes, so the wh is a KW, so you should start rounding your lips before you even make your move. K the earth shakes and it takes time to go from the nth Earth and then return to the earthquakes Earthquakes Thunder, the vowel is like thunder and lightning, lightning is written in a way that I never remember how to write, lightning is what it looks like I like it , but we don't say the middle syllable, so it sounds like lightning, thunder and lightning, we won't say the full word and thunder and lightning is shortened and it just sounds like thunder and lightning, thunder and lightning, and these are very similar.

The number 15 is father and the vowel is ah very hot, so you have to open and keep your jaw very low, how is your father? 16 now you have an R before the th, so roll back for the r and then roll forward for the th and then Back for the R, so there's a lot of movement in that short word. Farther, it's further than I thought. Much of the

practice

and the number 17 have a very similar meaning. Most Americans use them in the same place. I don't know much difference now. it's an emergency sound plus a lot of movement it's further than I thought marshmallow it's fun to say marshmallow Marsh Marsh soft looks like but sounds like meh, which is another reason why I never remember how to type smooth my mouse isn't being a limp mouse means um like you have a limp like you move like this so limp you'll keep the D limp but if there's a vowel you'll hear it limp suspicious suspicious clarified the KL again you can do the K at the same time you do the L cold, cold, clarified , keep the D, anything that starts with re, almost always the re is unstressed so it will change to raw and it's not bad if you say the result re resolved comes back, it's just more correct than most native speakers do. are doing, since it is not stressed, it will change to r or resolve and dissolve.

You have to put your tongue in the L position and then make a V, but you don't have to get a perfect result. You can simply put your upper teeth on your lower lip to form the V until you finish with resolution D and Claire is a girl's name. Claire KL result, so you put your tongue in the L position and just by holding it you won't hear the T result. back I think that's it, thank you, this is our first February Monday
