hey everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech back again with another test video for
you still a real lesson I'm just trying out new lighting this is by far the
brightest light so theater was dim my second video for a box and boxes was a
little bit brighter and this is by far the brightest so again I look forward to
hearing what you think about the new lighting so our lesson for today is how
do I say the word prescription which is a written order for medication and the
word script which is the short form of the word prescription so let's start
with the word script I think this is a little confusing because we have a three
consonant sound combination that really just worries people because we have
those three sounds together so let's take a look at this script okay so to
start the word we're going to start with the S sound easy peasy and then we're
gonna think add that K R really give yourself a break on this one this is
actually the R and the K are going to work together here so to say a K sound
the tip of your tongue is in the bottom of your mouth and the back of your
tongue is pulled up you can use this exact same position to say the R sound
so once your tongue is ready for the K you can keep it there for the R sound
just go ahead and make your lips a little bit tenser for that R sound
and for most people this has really been helping them lately think about making
your lips into a slight square instead of rounded that helps many people so give
that a try if you're struggling with the R so let's put those three sounds
together sc scr scr now I am adding a little vowel there I'm trying
hard not to but it's almost too difficult to say it that slowly for me
so I'm gonna try it quickly here for you scr scr
okay then we're going to move to that short
I sound ih and to do this you're going to have relaxed lips and your tongue is
going to be high not all the way at the top of your mouth not in the middle of
your mouth just above there okay so scrih scrih and then you're gonna close
your lips for the P and then quickly move to the T you might have to practice
that a little bit on its own before you add it to the word and then when we put
it all together script script script script awesome now that you have that
let's move on to prescription to say this think about starting with pra with
that schwa sound in that syllable the reason we're going
to have that schwa sound there is because the script is actually the part
of the word that we are going to stress here because of the tion rule and I have
a class on that if you're interested you can look that up or I'll put the link in
the comment section below so pra scrip and that's easy because we're not gonna
say the T here and then we're gonna go into the tion for the ending I say tion
with a schwa sound the short u but you can also say shin with the short I as
long as your vowel is super duper short that is the key just make sure that
vowel is super short so we have prescription prescription prescription
prescription and don't forget when we stress a syllable we make it louder
longer and higher in pitch and the other syllables then are softer lower and
lower in pitch and shorter I'm sorry I forgot shorter so we have script script
script prescription prescription prescription script prescription
some of you might ask what happens if I add an S to Scripts and then what you're
going to do there is you're going to quickly move from that T pull the tongue
down away from the teeth and then let that air move out for the s scripts
scripts scripts prescription prescription prescription my doctor
wrote me a prescription for the medication and I took the script to the
pharmacy to have it filled give it a try I know people are going to notice the
difference if you found this helpful we'd love a like and share with all of
