hello Jennifer from tarle speech with your pronunciation question today we
have three words law legal and lawyer and spelling is really confusing here so
let's go ahead and jump right in so the first word we have law and to say this
word you're going to touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top
front teeth in fact this sound starts all three
words so you were already you've got to jump on the other words L for law we
are not going to say the W sound instead you're going to say an open oh sound
made with an oval mouth and the tip of your tongue is going to be low in the
mouth and the back of your tongue will be pulled up law next for lawyer super
confusing we actually say an oi sound here and to do that you're going to
pucker oi and then move to a smile so Loy er
and then end with that really strong American er sound tense lips tongue tip
either be pointed down or rolled back lawyer' lawyer' lawyer' and then for
legal think of saying Li which could be an a person's name Li and do that by
saying the L by touching the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front
teeth and then moving to that e by smiling Li and then we're gonna end with
gull and like the bird and to do that you're going to put the tip of your
tongue in the bottom of your mouth for that G the back of your tongue is pulled
up add the short uh sound as you move to the L the L sound again to end that
word legal legal legal let's try all those words again law lawyer legal law
lawyer legal I'm gonna add a little bonus word and because I actually got a
question about this just before I started recording and the word is low so
law is la W and low is L o w again we are not going to pronounce the W sound we are just going to
use the long o so low law and low so the difference
here is open for a law and then puckered for a low at the end of that word law
low legal lawyer law let me give you an example sentence here
the lawyer offered legal advice the lawyer offered legal advice from his
law office for a low fee just made up that ending I'm loving myself alright so
