hi everyone jennifer from tarle speech with your pronunciation question we have three words today
mass which is a weight or a religious celebration mask which is a face covering and mosque which is
a place of worship so let's go ahead and take a look at these words so we have mass mask and
mosques all of these words start with the m sound to do that lips together air is moving out of your
nose for that m for mass and mask we are going to add that open short ah vowel it's that very
american ah to do this think about opening your mouth in a wide circle you can see i actually
drew a little face there to help you remember mouth is open in a wide circle that will allow
you to get your tongue low in your mouth in the front and high and pulled up in the back
and then we're going to add the ass sound to do this tip of the tongue is down or behind the top
front teeth just it's not touching and the air is going to continue to move out of your mouth mass
mass mass mass now for mask what you're going to do is end with that k to do that tip of the
tongue is pointed down back of the tongue is pulled up air puffs out of your mouth my tip
is take it slowly from that s to the k and you will be able to do it let's give that a try um
mask
mask mask mask mask now for mosque we're going to do the open short
ah sound and to do this think of having your mouth in an oval shape in doing that that will
help you get your tongue in the correct spot the tip of your tongue again is going to be down in
the back of your tongue is going to be pulled up by changing the shape of your mouth that limits
the space inside of your mouth for your tongue to go and that helps you get into the correct space
so again this is my little reminder here open oval shape ah
then move to that s and then end with the k let's put it all together slowly
mosque mosque mosque let's give them all a try mass mass mass
mask mask mask mosque mosque mosque one more time mass mask and mosque and now for a sentence due
