hey everybody Jennifer from tarle speech with your pronunciation question
today's question is how do I pronounce anxiety security and university we're
going to tackle this question by looking at the suffix I T y so here's the suffix
ity and we are going to pronounce that suffix ADEE we're actually going to say
the schwa sound here and make this actually a schwa syllable when you're
making its own separate beat in the word UH and then we're going to add that D so to
make the D you're going to make sure that your voice box is on and vibrating
and then end with a nice long e often times I hear people say e t something
like that because most of my clients will say e for the letter I because
oftentimes that's a one-to-one translation from your language so again
we're going to make this an uh and then end with Adee Adee again nice and short
relaxed schwa sound here and then we're going to move to the D and make sure you
say that nice and long so we have the word
anxious anxiety secure security universe university another thing to
keep in mind is that the syllable stress is always before the uh sound so it's
before the I T Y angz zi Adi secure Adi universe ADEE so anxiety security
university so anxious anxiety secure security universe university let's give
those all a try again anxious secur universe anxiety security
university so again to summarize the stress is always going to become right
before that schwa sound the uh syllable and then we are going to end with D with a D
sound and a nice long e so super short and then long but the longest loudest
and highest pitch syllable will be the syllable right before the uh so one more
time anxious anxiety secure security universe
university so the anxious student had anxiety about taking the test on the
universe at the university because the university had implemented security
measures to secure the testing room give it a try
try I know people are going to notice the difference if you found this helpful
