hey there Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question today
we have three words to talk about this is a really good one appreciate which
means that you value something appropriate proper which is a noun and
appropriate a verb which means to direct funds these words are spelled very
similarly we do have a few differences the e and the O and then here we have a
C and here we have a PR those do give us some clues as to how I pronounce these
words so each of these words has four syllables so we're going to break these
down into the syllables which makes it a little bit easier to tackle all of these
words start with that nice short schwa syllable ah ah
preciate appropriate appropriate yes I was stressing it there and you're not
supposed to so don't leave me any comments but I wanted to make sure that
you actually heard it there so for the word appreciate let's look at each of
these syllables ah which is the very short relaxed vowel next add presh with
another short vowel the relaxed if the relaxed I sound make sure you have the
SH here approch approch so you're gonna do that with rounded lips next add a
long e and then end with the word eight like you ate something or the number
eight yes those two words do sound the same so we have appreciate now when we
go to appropriate the noun we have the short schwa again uh then we're going to
add the syllable pro that has a long oh we're going to add another long vowel
the e in pre-pro pre and then we're going to end with a nice short vowel
like the word it it appropriate lastly for the verb appropriate same exact
syllable same three syllables as we had and appropriate pro-free and then end
with an eighth appropriate appropriate so we have appreciate appropriate
appreciate appropriate appreciate appreciate appreciate appropriate
appropriate appropriate appropriate appropriate appropriate give that a try
I know people will definitely hear the difference thank you so much for liking
