hi everyone jennifer from tarle speech with your pronunciation question today's
question is about a phrasal verb come on how do i make that verb come on
sound different than the word common so the word common
means prevalent and come on is an encouraging remark to have someone
do something or a remark to attract attention
so the big difference here is we are going to
think about word stress and in word stress
we're going to think about three things to stress
a syllable or a word to stress a syllable and make it the
stressed syllable is going to be louder higher in pitch and this is the key here
the vowel is going to be longer I say most of the time that's the step
that my students miss is that the vowel needs to be longer i love these two
words to drive this point home because the vowels are exactly the same
in these syllables they're just flipped so we
have the word common this is going to be our stress
syllable syllable number one as opposed to come on
we are going to stress syllable number two so you can see
both of these vowels are the same it's the oh
vowel and to do that your mouth is open wide in an oval shape
tip of the tongue is low back of the tongue is pulled up
this is going to be contrasted to the super short uah sound
in syllable number two and then syllable number one
and that is the a vowel made with a very relaxed mouth and very relaxed tongue
and it is very short all right so let's try these
syllables and try to make those vowels different
com un
common common common now let's flip those come
on come on come on come on
come on common common common come on
come on come on and now for a sentence come on is a common phrasal
verb used to encourage others to join
in give it a try people are going to notice the difference if you found this
