hey everybody Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question
today's question is how do I pronounce variations of the word progress or to
make movement towards a goal so let's go ahead and take a look let me put my
notes down so we have the word progress and progress is the noun and we're going
to stress the word Pro progress progress the progress we're going to flip that
and if you've been watching my videos for a while you know there's a pretty
general rule that works most of the time then when we have a noun and we're going
to stress syllable one in a two syllable word and we have the exact same word
that's pronounced slightly differently when it's a verb we're going to stress
syllable number two so again syllable number one in the noun
progress and in the verb pro gress so we're going to stress the gress so to
stress something you're going to make it a little bit louder the vowel a little
bit longer and the pitch a little bit higher than the other syllables and the
word so we have progress and progress progress progress keep that in mind that
we're going to be stressing that second syllable when we add a lot of these
suffixes on to the word so when we add the ing I think where people get
confused is this has an extra syllable so we have progress progressing gress
Sing progressing but then when we have this ed you do not add an extra
syllable you're just gonna add a T to that second part of the word if you're
interested in more about this I do have several lessons on adding that ed
ending to the words so we have Pro gresst progressed so progress progressing
progressed last we have progression and I forgot to
underline this and we are going to stress that same syllable because it's a
syllable right before that shun progra shun and I think also people got really
confused because of the spelling and we are going to end this word in shun so
again stress syllable number two and then stress syllable number two and add
an extra beat with the ing stress syllable number two and just attach that t
sound that second syllable and then still stressed syllable number two and
end with tion when we see those two S's there okay let's give it a try so we
have progress progress progressing progressed progression progress progress
progressing per get progressed progression sorry about that this is
like a tongue twister one more time so I can get it correct progress progress
progressing progressed progression to make progress
you must progress through the lessons give it a try I know people are going to
