today I'm going over how to pronounce
numbers one through ten actually no zero
through ten
to begin zero zero starts with the
voiced Z sound where the teeth come
together it then opens into the e as in
she vowel sound Z so the jaw drops just
a little bit and the corners of the lips
pull back Z zero
it then has the R consonant sound Z R so
the tongue has to move up into that
position zero and it ends with the Oh as
in no diphthong zero one one begins with
the W consonant sound so the lips form
that very tight circle whoa it opens
into the UH as in butter sound with a
very relaxed drop of the jaw whoa mmm
the tongue then moves up into the end
position 1 1 this is pronounced the
exact same way as the word 1 as in we
won the game
two two starts with the T sound where
the teeth are together the tongue is
behind them and pulls back to release
air to it then has the e as in boo vowel
sound - and if you notice the lips begin
to take that position even before the T
sound - - and this is pronounced the
exact same way as the word - t oo as in
I want to go to or to tio as in he is
going to the store although to be honest
that word is often reduced to two he is
going to the store three this begins
with the unvoiced th sound
make sure your tongue comes through
those teeth it's the only way to make
the sound fur it then pulls back into
the our position fur so your tongue will
move from through the teeth to being
further up and back
fur then the EE as in she vowel sound
three three four begins with the F sound
so the bottom lip must move up to the
top teeth for it then opens into the Oh
as in no diphthong for before moving
into the R consonant sound four four
five this word begins and ends with this
position of the lip coming up and
touching the top teeth hmm
it begins with the F sound and ends with
vivvy sound hmm so the first is unvoiced
and the second is voiced it has the AI
as in buy diphthong in between five five
five notice that the V consonant sound
at the end is very short five six six
begins and ends with the S consonant
sound unvoiced six the vowel sound is
the as in sit say we then have the K
consonant sound sick sick where the
tongue comes up here and pulls away to
release air sick six and then finally
the S consonant sound again to end six
seven also begins with the S consonant
sound and opens into the air as in
bed vowel sound say say it then has the
V consonant sound sev where the lip
moves up and touches the teeth sev and
the final syllable is the schwa followed
by the end sound mmm mmm so the tongue
which is down pulls up to lightly touch
the roof of the mouth um to make the n
sound seven-seven eight-eight has the ay
as in say diphthong followed by the T
sound were you released to air through
the teeth by pulling the tongue away
eight this is pronounced the exact same
way as the word a te as in I ate that
yesterday 9 9 begins and ends with the
end consonant sound mm-hmm
where the front part of the tongue is up
against the roof of the mouth 9 and in
between those two end sounds is the AI
as in buy diphthong 9 9 and 10 10 has
the air as in bed vowel sound after the
T sound Ted Ted 10 10 you can see the
tongue then has to move up to touch the
roof of the mouth to make the N 10
