Hi everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech.
It is your two for Tuesday. Actually today uh you get a freebie - it's a three for Tuesday.
These are homophones. Words that are pronounced exactly the same
but they have different spellings and different meanings. We have
you which is the pronoun referring to a person you are addressing
ewe a female sheep and U the letter
Here we are two little sounds for today Y and EW
So to start with that Y sound tip of the tongue is low in the mouth and the back of the tongue
is way high up. You can actually use your back teeth to sort of anchor your tongue in there.
Y - do not touch your teeth. If you touch your teeth this will sound like
J and we're not looking for the J sound. We're looking for the y y y
Then you're going to move to that long EW and you're going
to do that by puckering your lips and making that sound nice and long.
you you you you you you
And now for a sentence:
YOU are the best!
Give it a try I know people are going to notice the difference. And if you want to use those
other words in a sentence go for it. I'd love to hear your sentences. If you need more help
you can check us out at Tarle speech. Thank you so much everyone have an amazing week!
