hello it's jennifer from tarle speech with your pronunciation question our
-
question today is how do i say survey and examination or study and service
-
helping others i actually have three words for you
-
um to really drive the point home about the
-
endings of this word so let's start with sir vey so sir is going to be the same
-
in all these words actually it changed my mind let's start with that
-
so to say sir you're going to start with that s sound
-
typically we make the s sound with our lips back
-
but because that er sound with square tense lips is coming you can see that my
-
lips are square and tenser to get ready for that sound sir
-
sir sir for that r don't forget tip of the tongue is down or flipped back
-
it is not touching your teeth and it is not moving
-
sir then we are going to move to that v sound to say a v
-
sound your lips are relatively pulled back they are not
-
puckered if you pucker your lips it'll sound like a
-
w w w and we wanna vvvv
-
so you can do a couple of things here so your lips are pulled back
-
you can either gently bite the outside of the bottom lip
-
or the inside of the bottom lip v v v
-
and when i say bite your your teeth are just really close to that point
-
and the air is going to move out and your voice box is on
-
and moving another mistake to avoid is do not put your lips together because
-
then that sounds like b b b so again lips open lips pulled back air
-
moving out
-
so we have sir v and then we're going to move to that
-
a and you can see to do that i open my mouth
-
a and then i smile while i do that my tongue moves from low
-
to high and flat vey
-
for surveys we have an s ending because the s
-
is after a vowel we are going to pronounce it as
-
a z if you're interested in the rule for this i do have classes i'll post that
-
um in the links below so we're going to do sir
-
vays to say that z sound your voice box is on and
-
moving and it's like you're saying an s sound your tongue is in the same spot
-
so it's either pointed down or behind the top front teeth that is just not
-
touching surveys surveys
-
surveys and then last for service the ending really changes here so we're
-
going to change that short i i i sound and you can see
-
my mouth is relatively closed it is open of course
-
um and it's going to be nice and short and my lips are not tense at all they're
-
relaxed i i i so we're not smiling lips i'm not saying
-
e it's nice and short i and then i'm going to end with the s and that
-
sound again tip of the tongue is down or behind the
-
top front teeth and your voice box is off service service
-
service let's give them all a try survey survey survey surveys
-
surveys surveys service service service and now for a sentence
-
