Hello everyone it's Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday!
Two words that are spelled differently, they have different meanings,
but they are pronounced exactly the same way. This is for all of my IT people out there!
We have sync meaning to synchronize um or having the same thing in two places and
sink um to slip below or a basin for washing like where you wash your hands or do your dishes
so the place to do your dishes is here and what we do with our phones and our computers is here
So to say these words correctly we're going to start with that super easy s sound sssss.
To say the sound the tip of your tongue is either behind the top front teeth or
pointed down it is not touching your teeth at all, air keeps moving out of your mouth.
Next move to that short ih sound: this is a relaxed mouth and the tongue
is just at the bottom of the top teeth and it's flat in your mouth,
and then what we're going to do is we're going to move that tongue, the tip of the tongue, down,
to the bottom of the mouth; and the back of the tongue is going to pull be pulled way high up.
Air is going to come out of your nose for this sound and we're going to make this um sound
that's that n g sound that you hear at the end of many words like in running and singing.
This ng sound is going to be really helpful here because then your tongue is in the right
spot for that k sound, and all you need to do then is stop the air coming out of your nose,
and let the air puff out of your mouth. So this ng and the k, they have the same position
tip of the tongue down back of the tongue is pulled way high up. ngk ngk
You can see I'm not really moving my mouth at all.
You might be asking is this a long e sound no it is not it is a short i but it is longer
than the short i that you might hear and the word hit or sit, so it's going to be a
little bit longer because it's influenced by this n g sound here this ng sound.
So let's try this all nice and slow and then we'll go a little bit faster okay.
sync
sync sync sync sync sync sync sync
And this is a little bit of a bonus if you take that k off you have the word
sing and some of you might need to know that word.
So let's give it a try in a sentence: Sync your phone
so we don't lose the pictures of the kitchen sink that we really like.
So give it a try i know people are going to notice the difference. If you found this helpful
