hey everyone it's Jennifer from Tarle speech our mini-series is running a
little long because i've had a lot of requests our word today is ventilator
and i have a great tip for you i think this is going to make everyone's life a
little easier here's our word ventilator i'm gonna have four syllables spelling
is slightly confusing because we're changing a lot of the sounds up here so
we're going to start with ven and to do this we start with the vvv ound your
voice boxes on your mouth is slightly open you can be biting the inside or the
outside of the bottom lip just keep that air moving out do not close your lips or
it'll sound like a b then we're gonna move to that sound the tip of your
tongue is between your top and your bottom teeth you can see it and then
we're going to move to that end n nnn touch the tip of the tongue to the back
of your top front teeth and the air moves out of your nose then ven we're
going to link the uh that schwa syllable we've talked about this when my students
see that i in the middle of the word they often say e and oftentimes we do
use that schwa sound the uh sound relaxed lips relaxed tongue very very very short
and then we're going to move to lay just like the word it's the long a here start
with the L touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth and
open your mouth wide and then move to a smile for that a lay lay and then we're
gonna end with the der yes we're not going to say that t we're going to say
a fast D d to do this touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front
teeth voice boxes on and then end with that er for those of you that struggle
with the er sound at the end of the word think square tense lips not
puckered and not relaxed you want them square intense a the tip of your tongue
will be pointed down or flipped back whichever one works for you let's put it
all together ven uh lay der Venna later Venna later ventilator ventilator
ventilator you can also think of this as the word later like la ter like see you
later and that is how we pronounce that as well so one more time
ventilator ventilator ventilator and now in a sentence the patient required a
ventilator for respiration so give it a try
