hi this is Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question today's
question is how do I say the word Constitution which are the fundamental
principles of a an organization or a country so let's take a look at this
word Constitution we're going to break this down into syllables and so think of
this more as a word stress lesson this week so word stress here is going to
really impact this word and it's a little different than is typical the
word stress is going to be more towards the end of the word because we have that
tion ending I have a class on that I feel interested in how to pronounce
those tion endings so I'll put a link at the bottom of the video for you so let's
start with syllable number one con it's gonna be nice and short yes there is
that open vowel the short con and then we're gonna quickly move into this
really short syllable Consta con sta and you're gonna have that schwa sound
there consta then we're gonna move to the stressed syllable - to stress the
syllable we're going to make it a little louder the vowel a little longer and the
pitch a little bit higher that being said most of my clients really mess up
syllable stress because the vowels are too short and typically the same length
so make sure that you make this vowel extra long to get that stress correct
and then last we're going to end with the tion syllable tion consta two shun
