hi everybody Jennifer from Tarle Speech I got a great question today in an email
-
it is how do I pronounce whatever and wherever at normal conversational speed
-
when they're in a phrase so I have a couple of tips for you so let's go ahead
-
and take a look so we have what ever and we're gonna pronounce this as wud
-
wud wud ever whatever so the first syllable is going to be
-
very short wud and the second syllable of the word or the second word rather will be a
-
little bit longer so whatever whatever so that's number one
-
same thing here where ever think of pronouncing this word as wear like we
-
wear clothes wherever wherever so the key is is to
-
again make the wud very short whatever and we're gonna use that flap T there so
-
it's going to sound like a D and wherever so you want to make those short
-
at the beginning and then also link those words together and by linking what
-
I mean is no pause between those two words so it's almost like whatever is
-
one word and wherever is one word okay so that's number one is make these two
-
short phrases sound like one word whatever wherever number two when we add
-
them to another phrase how could we make that sound a little better again let's
-
think about linking so practice first being able to say whatever and wherever
-
and then think about what do you want to add to this sentence so for instance he
-
said in his question whatever the weather so again I just said that with
-
pauses in between words and that's totally fine everyone is going to
-
understand you so you can do that and say whatever the weather that's just
-
fine or you can get fancy you can link these two words whatever and then
-
link these two words the weather whatever the weather so again super
-
short for what super short for the link those with no pause between so the
-
practice the weather the weather the weather and then practice whatever
-
whatever whatever now let's combine the two the weather
-
whatever the weather whatever the weather whatever the weather whatever
-
the weather can hear my pitch going up a little bit on the second word in each of
-
those phrases so whatever the weather another example would be wherever we go
-
or wherever I think he said we were same thing let's take those principles
-
wherever we're gonna link this we were we're going to link this wherever we
-
were wherever we were wherever we were again we're going to go sort of wherever
-
we were wherever we were linked those all together practice we were we were we
-
were practice wherever wherever wherever and then let's combine wherever we were
-
whatever the weather wherever we were we can practice our speech as we go I made a
-
little rhyme for you so give it a try I know people are going to notice the
-
