hi everybody Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question
-
today's question is how do I say the word innovation meaning a new method and
-
invasion which means an unwelcome intrusion
-
today's lesson is mostly about the schwa sound and also syllables or beats in a
-
word but we're also going to talk about the difference between voiced and
-
voiceless consonants we have a lot to get to so let's jump right in we're
-
number one innovation is going to have four beats
-
in uh vay shun word number two invasion is going to have three beats invasion so
-
the biggest difference here is you can hear four versus three beats and this
-
beat the uh the schwa syllable is super short and it's connected to the
-
syllables around it that's very important innovation invasion we don't
-
have the schwa sound we just have those three beats and both of these words the
-
vay is going to be our stressed syllable because it comes right before the Shun or
-
the zhun ending and that's a general rule and I'm sure if you've been here before
-
you've learned that so we've talked about that in the past last thing to
-
keep in mind is that the Shh and the zh sound look exactly the same when you're
-
watching me pronounce them the difference is is that the Shh the quiet
-
sh sound two letters one sound Shh my voice box is not on and it is not moving for
-
the zh sound again two letters one sound my voice box is on and vibrating and
-
moving zh so very quiet Sh and very noisy zh the key is do not touch your teeth for either of
-
these sounds that's key don't touch your teeth okay so let's look at the rest of
-
the syllables so we start with in this is the short ih sound where your mouth
-
is slightly open and your tongue is hi in your mouth and then move to that
-
n sound by touching the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front
-
teeth air moves out of your nose the short schwa sound uhand then move to
-
the Vay and to do this you're either going to bite the inside or the outside
-
of your lower lip and then you are going to make sure the air keeps moving out of
-
your mouth while your voice box is on for the vvv sound and then we're going to
-
move to that long a vowel and to do this you are going to have your mouth open
-
wide with the tip of your tongue low in your mouth and then close your mouth to
-
that smile e a a in uh vay and then we're gonna end with the tion again SH sound
-
it's the quiet sound no voicing don't touch your teeth and end with that
-
short uh and nnn by touching the tip of your tongue to the back of your top
-
front teeth while the air moves out of your nose in a-- VAY shun again
-
remember stress that vay it's louder longer and higher and pitch in a vation
-
innovation innovation innovation and now for invasion to take out the schwa in
-
in vay zhun invasion invasion invasion
-
innovation invasion the professor did not want any invasions of his privacy
