hi there Jennifer from Tarle Speech with your pronunciation question today's
question is a super quick lesson how do I pronounce the word typical or ordinary
let's go ahead and take a look so the word is typical and we have the schwa
syllable in here so the mistake that I hear is most people say tip pea coal and
that's incorrect because oftentimes in English in longer words that middle
letter I becomes the schwa a syllable and that's the case here we have Tippa
typical typical typical so let's look at the syllables here we're going to start
with tip with a nice short I sound tip then you're going to move to that uh
the key is make that second syllable very very short and make sure it's
connected to syllable number one so I also hear people say tip uh
coal and that's not the way we say it we link it all together
TIPA typical typical typical be careful here with the ending think of
this again as a really short uh sound tipa kl kl kl can actually
think of it even without a vowel there just the K in the L sound kl kl the
mistake I hear is people will say cowl tip ikawl and that's not correct it's
typical typical typical typical I added typically even though this wasn't part
of the question from my student and the reason I added this is because I hear
another mistake here when we say typically we are most of the time going
to use just three syllables I do hear some variations but by and large I
really just hear people say typically typic typically typically typically the
mistake that I hear from my students is I will hear people say tip thick oily or
typic alley and that sounds like an alley where you put your trash in the
city and that's not what we want to say I'm going to say typic lee
typic lee so the the syllable brakes are going to change a little bit so we still
have tip at the beginning of both of these words but instead of saying uh
we're gonna say ik Tip uh Kl tip ik Li typical typically typical typically and
let me give you a sentence on a typical day I typically eat eggs for breakfast
on a typical day I typically eat eggs for breakfast give it a try I know
people are going to notice the difference
