hi everyone Jennifer from tarle speech with your two for Tuesday today's two
words that are pronounced exactly the same are knot a tangled mass and not
which is stating a negative or no so here are our two words we have a silent
letter today we are not going to say the letter K so we are just going to
completely take that letter off and that's kind of a general rule when we
have a K at the beginning of the word we typically do not say it when it's
followed by the n letter so we say the N instead okay so to say these two words
correctly we're going to start with the n sound nnnn to do this tip of your
tongue is behind touching the back of the top front teeth and the air is going
to move out of your nose nnnn next we're going to open the mouth wide for the oh
sound if this is a difficult sound for you think about making an oval shaped
mouth and make it wide open oh and when you do that the tip of your tongue will
be low in your mouth and the back of your tongue will be pulled up oh and
then you're going to end with the T sound t to do this touch the tip of your
tongue to the back of your top front teeth let's put it all together knot not
knot not knot not and now in a sentence do not tie the shoes into a knot do not tie
the shoes into a knot I'm give it a try people are going to notice the
difference have you found this helpful please give us a like a share on a
