hi everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question
-
actually this is more of a quick tip today but I've gotten a lot of requests
-
lately for words that are the same except for the s
-
versus the s H sound so I will show you all of words I've had requests
-
for as a late see and she self and shelf save and shave sell and shell
-
sort and short so what's the difference with these words it's s versus the sh
-
sound this is something super important to keep in mind SH is
-
considered a digraph and a digraph is two letters that stand for one sound so
-
this is not an S Plus an H it is one sound it is that Shh so you've probably
-
seen people do this Shh which means to be quiet and Shh is the
-
SH sound again two letters one sound to make the SH sound
-
you're going to pucker your lips Shh and the air is going to keep moving out
-
of your mouth your tongue is not touching your teeth the difference is
-
for the sss sound you can see my mouth is kind of smiling meaning that my lips are
-
a little more pulled back and they are not puckered at all again one letter
-
s one sound sss your tongue is not touching your teeth so again we have sss and shhhh
-
sss and shh and let's try it and these words see self save sell sort she shelf shave
-
shell short and then we'll contrast them see she self shelf save shave sell shell
-
sort short so give it a try I know people are going to notice the
-
difference if you found this helpful we'd love a like a share and a subscribe
