hi everyone jennifer from tarle speech we've got a great question today the
words are bass the fish bass the guitar and base
the bottom of something let's go ahead and take a look at these words
so we have some heteronyms here what are those you don't even have to know the
word it's basically words that are spelled the same but
pronounced differently with different meanings and that's what we
have here so this is bass the fish and bass
the guitar so we have bass to say this word correctly you're going
to start with the b b move to wide open mouth for that
ah sound think of a wide circle shape and then end with that
s sss to do that tip of the tongue is either pointed down to the bottom of the mouth
or behind the top front teeth which is not touching and that air keeps moving
bass bass bass this is opposed to
base with the long a and bass the guitar and base the bottom are pronounced
exactly the same way yes they are spelled differently so we
have b a and to say that long a
sound what you're going to do is open your mouth into a wide
circle and then smile a that's going to help your tongue move
from low in your mouth to high and flat a
base base base so we have bass bass
bass base base base bass base
bass base and now for a sentence the bass guitarist sat at the base of
the statue in the hopes that he could get the bass
to come close to shore give it a try i know people are going to notice the
