hey everybody Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday our

words today are great fantastic and grate to shred kind of like what you do

To-infinitive

with cheese you can grate cheese for your pizza to say these words correctly

we're going to start with that gr combination to do this be sure that

there is no vowel sound between the G and the R we are not going to say gah

reat to avoid this think about keeping your mouth in about the same spot gr

gr so what I do is I have the tip of my tongue and the bottom of my mouth at

the back of the tongue pulled way high up for that G sound and then I move my

lips to that square tense shape and that helps me bring my tongue into the right

spot for my er sound now I make my R sound with the tip of my tongue in the

bottom of my mouth but you can also make it with the tip of your tongue flipped

back which ever one works for you just again no sound between next move to the

long a vowel do this by opening your mouth and then moving to a smile your

tongue is going to move from the bottom of the mouth with the tip being in the

bottom of the mouth and the back being pulled up to nice and flat and high in

the mouth a a and then we're going to end with a T by touching the tip of the

tongue to the back of the top front teeth great great great the new

fireplace grate looks great I should give you the definition I totally forgot

grate also means something that you can put over a sewer or a fireplace it's a

metal shield so to protect that so let's do these words one more time
