Hello everyone it's Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday. Actually today we
have a three for Tuesday! This is a homophone lesson - the three words have different spellings
different meanings but they are pronounced exactly the same way. Our words today are vain
which means pointless or a conceited person, vane a blade pushed by the wind,
and vein tubes that circulate blood. These words again are pronounced exactly the same way!
To say these words correctly we're going to start with that v sound. To do this your lips are open,
you are gently biting the inside or the outside of your bottom lip, just make sure that the air
keeps moving out of your mouth, if you close your mouth, it will sound like a b and we do
not want that. Another tip is make sure that your lips are pulled back almost like you're smiling
this is because if you make another mistake that I hear a lot of my clients do is that
you pucker your lips ww and then you say a w so we wanna vvvv not a b not a w we want v v v.
Next move to that long a to do this you're going to open your mouth wide tip of the tongue is down
back of the tongue is pulled up. As you close your mouth to a smile your mouth is going to move to
high and flat and then end by touching the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth
for that n air moves out of your nose let's put it all together
vain vein vane vain vein vane
And now for a sentence The vain man's
blood boiled in his veins when he noticed his friend was interested in the weather vane.
