hi there Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question today's
question is how do I pronounce the words suggestion or a proposed idea let's take
a look at the word I think a lot of the confusion comes in because of the
spelling we actually have a J sound in the middle of the word which gets a
little confusing because we have two G's that confuses some people and then also
typically when we see tion we say tion and in this case we're not going to say
Sh we're going to say CH instead so let's start with the beginning which
people usually get sug it's super easy we're just gonna say that nice short uh
sound sug next here's where it gets a little tricky for people we're going to
move to the J sound and say Jess Jess to say the J sound be sure that you touch
your teeth with the tip of your tongue so touch the tip of your tongue to the
back of your top front teeth J J sugg Jess and then end with
Chun Chun again just like we touched the tip of the tongue to the back of the top
front teeth for the J we're going to do the same to start this CH sound ch ch
sug Jess Chung and then to end it make sure you use that nice short u sound and
then you end with the N by again touching the tip of your tongue to the
back of your top front teeth and for the n the air moves out of your nose let's
put that all together sug Jess chun sug Jess chun suggests chun
