hello everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question
today we have several words that we are going to learn blood pressure and sugar
and then we're going to put these words together into compound nouns so these
are many terms that you will use in the medical field so let's go ahead and take
a look at our words word number one is blood
I think confusion happens because of it's spelling in these words as you can see
they're pronounced very differently than they're spelled the o o in this word
is pronounced as a short uh sound blood blood for pressure you'd think that we
have an S in there we don't it's a sh sound pressure pressure pressure pressure and
then lastly we have sugar another case of the letter S is pronounced as an SH
sound and then here that U is not pronounced as an uh it's pronounced as in
ooh ooh sure sure gur sugar sugar sugar so let's say all of those words again blood
pressure sugar now let's make some compound nouns with these words and
let's think about the rules that we've talked about in previous videos to make
a compound noun you're going to put two words together you're going to link them
together with no pause between the words and you're going to a stress syllable
number one making that part of the word louder making that vowel longer and
making that pitch a little bit higher so let's put together blood and pressure
into blood pressure blood pressure blood pressure and then blood with sugar blood
sugar blood sugar blood sugar it's again we have blood pressure
sugar and then blood pressure blood pressure blood pressure blood sugar
blood sugar blood sugar give those a try I know people are going to notice the
