hi everyone it's jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question i have four words this
week and they come from different questions but i thought they sort of lent to the same lesson
the words are feel to touch or emotion field an area of land or something that you study
felt touched and fuel a material used to produce power let's take a look at our words we have
fuel felt field and feel so let's start with the feel let's learn the f sound first
to make the f sound your mouth is open you can either be gently biting the inside
or the outside of the bottom lip and the air is going to keep moving out do not close your lips
if you close your lips it's going to sound like a p and we want it to be an f
with the air continuously moving out for the long e sound which is the same in the
both of these words we are going to smile e f e fee then we're going to add the l lll
so we're going to move smoothly from that e which is high and flat in our mouth our tongue
to the l by touching the back of the top front teeth with the tip of the tongue feel
feel feel now to say field all you're going to do is pull your tongue down and let that air puff out
one of the keys here is that your voice box needs to stay on and vibrating and moving
so we have it on for the e l d keep it on for that d field field field so we have feel field
feel field another tip here is when you have an l at the end of the word hold that l sound a
little bit longer than you think and that usually helps a lot and makes the l sound a lot stronger
now for the word felt we are going to have a short
e here so for the long e our mouth is more closed and smiling e and for the short
eh eh we're going to open the mouth and it is going to be more relaxed here so when you open
the mouth the tip of the tongue is going to pop down and you're going to see it between the teeth
so again we have the long e e high intense and then the short open relaxed lower tongue e eh e eh
for the word felt we are going to then move to that l fell t
and then add the t for that t sound we are going to turn the voice
off so that voice box is not going to be moving and that sound will be softer felt
felt felt felt i'm going to add one more word in here that i should have
added at the beginning and that's just the word fell so we have feel field fell felt
and last for fuel this is just a different vowel we're going to add this u think of saying
the word you you and to do this think about biting the back of the outside of the tongue
the tip of the tongue is going to point down it is not touching your teeth at all you
and then as you round your lips you
your tongue will be flatter so again the tongue will be a little bit pointed down for the y ew you
and then keep that tongue moving up to touch the back of the top front teeth for that l fuel fuel
fuel so let's try these all again slowly we have feel feel field field fell fell felt felt fuel
fuel feel field fell felt fuel and now for a sentence the pilot felt confident once he saw
the field he could feel relief because he was almost out of fuel give it a try people will
