hello it's Jennifer with Tarle Speech with your pronunciation question today's
question is how do I pronounce the word interest and the variations of that word
interest means curiosity it can also be money that you make for
an investment so let's go ahead and take a look at our words alright so let's
just talk about the word interest technically it's two beats I think
that's the easiest way to say it so we're going to think about saying in
trust interest I do hear in trust different vowel variations I think the
key here is that you just want to make that vowel short okay cuz I've been
getting a lot of questions about variations there are so many variations
key as you want to be understood so make that vowel short so for in key here
short vowel then touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front
teeth and air moves out of your nose and next for trist you're going to pull
your tongue down and as you pull your tongue down from the T from the back of
the top front teeth you're going to move to that R tr tr
some people do say that this sounds like a ch it does somewhat sound like a CH
but it is not a CH it is a T r in tristand then we're gonna add that is
short I and then the S and then we're going to touch the tip of the tongue to the
back of the top front teeth or that teeth interest interest interest now for
the variations this is where people kind of get confused if you want to say
interesting you can say three beats in tris ting or you can say four
interesting I hear both pick whichever one is easier for you and stick with
that one and then when we add the e D if you want to get fancy um you can make
this last T a D and just add it did interest did interested and then
quick little tip if you were adding this to another word to make a compound noun
remember first word is stressed higher louder and longer vowel second word is
unstressed shorter and lower than those words are linked together with no pause
interest rate interest rate so let's give those all the try interest
interesting interested interest rate you can also say interesting I do hear that
and let's give it a try in a sentence your interest and interest
rates is interesting so give it a try people are going to notice the
