hi everyone jennifer from tarle speech with your question of the week and today
is an embarrassing mistake if you mispronounce
these words so pay close attention our words are wore to wear
horse the animal and whores or prostitutes i think a lot of the
confusion with these words comes into play with
the spelling so you can see we have wore whores and
horse so let's start with the word wore it starts with a w and our lips are
puckered for that www and then we're going to move to the or
sound by you're going to already be at the pucker
and then you're going to pull them back for that er which is going to be square
tense lips tongue is either pointed down or flipped back
just do not touch the teeth so we have wore wore
wore now the spelling here is w h and we are
actually going to pronounce this as an h in this situation all right so
we have h or z and we are going to end
with a h sound so again this is going to be an
h sound and then we're going to move to the or
and then we're going to end with the z z for the z sound your voice box is on
and moving and for the h i'm just going to mention
you're just letting the air puff out h so we have
wore and whores and then for horse we're going to end
that with the s sound and the difference between the word
whores and the word horse is that with this s sound the voice box is not
on and it is not moving there's no vibration in the
throat so again we have sss and zzzzz
yes they look exactly the same your mouth is doing exactly the same thing
the only difference in these two sounds is that your voice box
is on and moving for the z so let's try all those words wore wore
wore
whores whores whores and horse horse
horse i have no sentence for you today um i don't even want to try to use that
word in a sentence give it a try i know people are going to notice the
difference if you found this helpful we'd love a
