hi everyone this is Jennifer from tarle speech with your pronunciation question
we have three words today study time spent on acquiring knowledge steady not
moving and sturdy solidly built so we have two syllables today study steady and stir d
so let's start with that last syllable the d to do this touch the tip of your
tongue to the back of your top front teeth pull it slightly down smile for
that long e d D D you got it alright now at the beginning the S T is
exactly the same I hear a lot of mistakes the best so to say it correctly
you were just going to start with the ssss sound I don't want to hear a vowel
before it's not est we're not adding a vowel it's just you st st can hear I'm also
not saying su t adding a vowel between to do this correctly you're going to say
the s ssss your tongue is not touching your Teeth and then you're going to touch your
teeth for the T keep your mouth in relatively the same position while you
move from the S to the T st st st you can see my lips aren't really moving
it's my tongue that is moving and my tongue is moving from st st st alright so now for
the vowels for study we have a very short u sound and to say this
sound correctly just going to open your mouth and you are going to have relaxed
lips and a relaxed tongue uh stu dee study study study for steady I think this is
where people get confused this is not along e it's not steedee and the difference
is that we're having be short um eh here and for this short eh it is more open
than that short u for the short u we have uh and then I'm going to open my
mouth and let my tongue drop as I open my mouth eh
uh-eh and when I open my mouth my tongue just drops down slightly
okay so we have steady steady steady steady and then four sturdy I'm going to
have square tense lips for this particular tongue is down or flipped
back it is not touching your teeth stir be sturdy sturdy sturdy let's try those
all again study study study steady steady steady sturdy sturdy sturdy and
for a sentence the sturdy study desk allows me to keep
my paper steady give it a try I know people are going to notice the
