Bitch
Beach- Bitch
I just had a brilliant idea
lots of you've been messaging us saying
It still sounds like
I'm saying bitch
I mean beach
but it's sounds like bitch
What can I do?
so just to remind you
in the last lesson we learned that
/I:/ is a long sound
and /i/ is a short sound
/I:/ as in beach, sheep
leave and
and /i/ as in
bitch - ship
live
and I told you that
a smile mouth
with help you make
the /I:/ sound
Why is that?
well if you want to
make a smile face
you notice that
all the muscles in your mouth
particulary in your tongue
your tongue muscles
they tighten
they contract
and that's what you need to do
to make the /I:/ sound
if the muscles contract,
it lifts the back of
the tongue up
to make that /I:/ sound
but
if your tongue is relaxed
and your jaw
is a little bit slack
you can make the bitch
sound very easily
because everyting is relaxed
including most importantly
your tongue
so practice
smile and make a
/I:/ sound
relax and make the
/i/ sound
light some incense
put on some Indian music
and lets practice that sound together
/I:/
/i/
/I:/
/i/
/I:/
/i/
/I:/ -
/i/
and breathe
some of you might be
perfect with making
the two sounds
but you still saying
I like good bitches
It still sounds like bitch
bitch - beach - bitch - beach - hi!
/I:/ is a long sound
and /i/ is short sound
and when you say beach
and bitch
you must be careful
not shorten your /I:/ sound
"How am I shortening it!?"
I'm doing same thing as you, Ally!
Stupid teacher!
It is all related to how you
finish the sound
how you make ch sound
there are 2 ways for stopping that final ch sound
one with your throat
and the second with your tongue
hitting the top of your
mouth and your front teeth
let me give you an example
If I say bitch
ıt's very obvious
ıt's bitch and not beach
yes, but why?
this is what a lot of you
might be doing
If you stop the sound
with your tongue
hitting the top of your mouth
in your teeth
then you'll always
sound like you saying bitch
bitch
even when the sound is correct
if you stop that way
ıt will always
sound ike bitch
let me show you
beach - beach
now the sound is correct - /I:/
but because I'm stopping the air flow early
ıt makes the /I:/
into a a shorter sound
sounding like /i/
so a longer beach
sounds like a shorter
bitch
this is way you need
practise with me again
you're going to stop the sound
in your throat - each
ıt is very important - notice that
my tongue is not touching anything
ıt's only my throat
stopping the air flow,
therefore stopping the sound
beach - beach -beach
when I stop the sound
in my throat
I can make both sounds
and both words
beach - bitch - bitch - beach
doesn't matter
ı can distinguish between the two
so by stopping it
with your tongue
beach -
that will always sound like bitch
first one make a big smiley face
second one remember it is along sound
/i/ - /i/
not a short sound
so don't stop the sound
with the tounge
stop it in the throat
beach - beach
I imagine you saying it
perfectly now
and I trust you
so go tell your English teacher
say proudly
I love beautiful beaches
