hello it's jennifer from tarle speech with your pronunciation question our
question today is how do i say survey and examination or study and service
helping others i actually have three words for you
um to really drive the point home about the
endings of this word so let's start with sir vey so sir is going to be the same
in all these words actually it changed my mind let's start with that
so to say sir you're going to start with that s sound
typically we make the s sound with our lips back
but because that er sound with square tense lips is coming you can see that my
lips are square and tenser to get ready for that sound sir
sir sir for that r don't forget tip of the tongue is down or flipped back
it is not touching your teeth and it is not moving
sir then we are going to move to that v sound to say a v
sound your lips are relatively pulled back they are not
puckered if you pucker your lips it'll sound like a
w w w and we wanna vvvv
so you can do a couple of things here so your lips are pulled back
you can either gently bite the outside of the bottom lip
or the inside of the bottom lip v v v
and when i say bite your your teeth are just really close to that point
and the air is going to move out and your voice box is on
and moving another mistake to avoid is do not put your lips together because
then that sounds like b b b so again lips open lips pulled back air
moving out
so we have sir v and then we're going to move to that
a and you can see to do that i open my mouth
a and then i smile while i do that my tongue moves from low
to high and flat vey
for surveys we have an s ending because the s
is after a vowel we are going to pronounce it as
a z if you're interested in the rule for this i do have classes i'll post that
um in the links below so we're going to do sir
vays to say that z sound your voice box is on and
moving and it's like you're saying an s sound your tongue is in the same spot
so it's either pointed down or behind the top front teeth that is just not
touching surveys surveys
surveys and then last for service the ending really changes here so we're
going to change that short i i i sound and you can see
my mouth is relatively closed it is open of course
um and it's going to be nice and short and my lips are not tense at all they're
relaxed i i i so we're not smiling lips i'm not saying
e it's nice and short i and then i'm going to end with the s and that
sound again tip of the tongue is down or behind the
top front teeth and your voice box is off service service
service let's give them all a try survey survey survey surveys
surveys surveys service service service and now for a sentence
service businesses send surveys to customers
