  • or sterile which is the and sterile which means totally clean let's take a

  • look at these words and jump right in for the word seizure gonna tell you kind

  • of ignore the spelling it confuses a whole lot of people and let's think

  • about two beats this word see it's like I see you and then sure the sound and

  • English is like an SH sound Shh you make with rounded lips except your voice box

  • is on and moving from that CH sound then we're going to move to the or and you're

  • I pronounce and I think I hear most people say stare like you're climbing

  • the stairs or you're staring and you're looking at someone and then they add an

  • OLE so again stare you're gonna move your mouth for that air sound and

  • remember for that st no sound comes before it it's not s it's just and

  • there's no sound between those it's not

  • to do that you're going to say in a sound and let the air move out of your

  • mouth and quickly just touch your teeth for the teeth and they move to the air

  • vowel do that by opening your mouth and then moving to that or sound as we

  • discussed up here stare and then add an ol o gonna do that by opening your mouth

  • with the tip of your tongue for that L sterile sterile sterile sterile
