Hi everyone it's Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday!
These are homophones: two words that are spelled differently,
with different meanings, that are pronounced
exactly the same way. So same pronunciation for both of these words. So we have two words:
addition to add something and addition a version
So to say these words correctly we're going to think about three beats UH DIH SHUN. UH DIH SHUN.
I actually spelled this though, and I split the syllables a little differently,
and wrote the word dish, because I know sometimes having a real word
helps some of you. So you can think of that as well.
So so to say this word correctly, let's start with the short, unstressed, uh,
the schwa. Just open your mouth, let the air puff out for that uh.
Next move to the dish and to do that, touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your
top front teeth. And then you're going to relax your mouth for that short ih
and then pucker for the sh. SHHHH And then end with the un. To do that, relaxed mouth, and then
touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front teeth for that n, air moves out of the nose.
Let's put it all together a dish un addition edition
addition edition
addition edition addition
And now for a sentence:
I have an addition to the current edition of the book.
Give it a try I know people are going to notice the difference! If you need help check out our
