Hello everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech with your 2 for Tuesday!
These words are pronounced exactly the same way different spellings different meanings. Our words
are facts things that are known to be true and fax transmission of a document over the phone.
To say these words correctly we're going to start with that f sound. To do this your mouth is open.
You are gently biting the inside or the outside of the bottom lip with your top teeth. Lips again
remain open. That's key! The reason is you want the air to move out of your mouth continuously.
Next we're going to move to that long ah sound. To do that your mouth is open in a round circle shape
and then your tongue tip is going to be low. Back of the tongue is going to be pulled up.
Then we're going to move to that k sound. Tip of the tongue continues to remain down. Back of the
tongue is pulled up air puffs out. And then we're going to end with that s. To do this tip of the
tongue is behind the top front teeth or slightly pointed down air continues out of the mouth.
Let's put it all together:
facts fax
facts fax facts fax
Now you might be saying can I say that t sound? You sure can facts
facts facts. I find it kind of difficult. I have to slow down a little bit to get that in
and then the s sound. I would say most people just sort of skip that sound altogether and say fax.
So let's give it a try in a sentence.
There are many facts written in the fax.
So give it a try I know people are going to notice the difference.
