hi it's Jennifer from Tarle speech had another request and the word is epidemic
and that is a widespread outbreak of an infectious disease so here is our word
epidemic let's think about the syllables of this word today so we have the schwa
syllable here the uh this really throws a lot of people off many of my students
when they see that I in the middle of the word they always say e and often we
do pronounce that as the schwa sound the uh sound that's a very relaxed very
short vowel just want to start with ep and to do this your mouth is slightly
open it's more open than the e or the ih sound it's the eh you should see the tip of
your tongue between your teeth and then we're going to move to that P sound
p p ep ep then we're going to link and add that up eppa eppa and then switch to
them touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front teeth you know how
to do that eh look for that tongue in the middle your open mouth and then close
your lips for the M mmm air moves out of your nose and then end with the ik again
your mouth is a little more closed for the short I sound than it is for that eh
sound in dem it's a little more closed and then end with that K eppa Demick
