hi everyone jennifer from tarle speech with your question of the week
today we have two words spatial relating to space
and special greater or different than usual or
important so let's take a look at our words we have spatial and special
so these words are only differing by the first vowel in the first syllable so
let's look at everything else so let's look at the ending shul yes
t-i-a-l is going to be pronounced as shul
and to do this we're going to say an sh sound that's two letters that represent
one sound sh your lips are rounded and the air just keeps
moving out of the mouth you do not touch your
teeth with your tongue then you are going to touch the back of
your top front teeth for the l sound lll lll
you're going to hold it there at the end of the word to make sure that people
can recognize that it's there
you get a slight uh sound in there while you're moving from the sh
to the l sound shul shul
okay now for the beginning we have that s
p sound so to say this you're going to start with an s sssss
so the tip of your tongue is going to be pointed down to the bottom of the mouth
or just behind the top front teeth and that air is going to keep
moving sss then you're going to close your lips
for the p don't open your lips more from that
s sound because that's going to add an extra vowel to smoothly move from the
s and then close your lips for that p sp sp sp
now for the vowels let's start with this short eh
sound you can see my mouth is open but it is relaxed
the tip of my tongue is going to be close
to the bottom teeth it is not touching the teeth
now for that long a and spatial your mouth is going to be more open
a and it's going to move to a closed smile a
when your mouth is more open for that a the tongue is going to be lower in the
mouth and then it's going to move too high and
flat a as opposed to e e e
so we have sp a shul
and special spatial and special spatial
spatial spatial special special special so give it a try
i know people are going to notice the difference if you found this helpful
