Hey everyone Jennifer from Tarle Speech with your pronunciation question.
Today's question is how do I say the words
plan a strategy to complete a task
and plane the vehicle for
air travel
so we are really gonna focus on the
vowels in these words today lets start with
the beginning of these words because it is exactly
the same we are gonna start with the P sound by
um closing then opening the lips p p
when you open your lips for this P sound
simultaneously you are going to have your tongue
behind your top front teeth pl
pl pl
and then you are going to pull your tongue down
when you do this you are going to avoid
saying PA
LA you don't want to have those two parts
you want to do it actually at the same time
so again your tongue is behind your top teeth for that L it is ready
when you start saying your P sound
PL PL PL
so your tongue is in the spot, your lips are closed and then
you open them the L sound just comes out pl
pl pl
next we are going to move to either the short a
AH
this is a very open vowel your mouth is open
in a round circle shape
and the tongue is going to be
low and in the bottom of your mouth
AH AH
AH
AH The back of your tongue is pulled up a little bit
but mostly your tongue is low in that mouth
pla then we
are going to move to that N sound by touching the tip of the tongue to the
back of your top front teeth and the air moves out of your nose
plan
next for plane
A
your mouth is going to be
really wide open with your tongue low in your mouth
then you are going to move your mouth
closed to like a smile and
then your tongue is going to follow and come up
high and flat in your mouth it is not touching the roof of your mouth
it will be nice and high and flat
so again we have plane
plane
plan plan
plan
plane
plane plan
I plan to get to the airport early so
I can board the train first
Give it a try I know people will notice the difference
