  • hello everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question

  • today we have several words that we are going to learn blood pressure and sugar

  • and then we're going to put these words together into compound nouns so these

  • are many terms that you will use in the medical field so let's go ahead and take

  • a look at our words word number one is blood

  • I think confusion happens because of it's spelling in these words as you can see

  • they're pronounced very differently than they're spelled the o o in this word

  • is pronounced as a short uh sound blood blood for pressure you'd think that we

  • have an S in there we don't it's a sh sound pressure pressure pressure pressure and

  • then lastly we have sugar another case of the letter S is pronounced as an SH

  • sound and then here that U is not pronounced as an uh it's pronounced as in

  • ooh ooh sure sure gur sugar sugar sugar so let's say all of those words again blood

  • pressure sugar now let's make some compound nouns with these words and

  • let's think about the rules that we've talked about in previous videos to make

  • a compound noun you're going to put two words together you're going to link them

  • together with no pause between the words and you're going to a stress syllable

  • number one making that part of the word louder making that vowel longer and

  • making that pitch a little bit higher so let's put together blood and pressure

  • into blood pressure blood pressure blood pressure and then blood with sugar blood

  • sugar blood sugar blood sugar it's again we have blood pressure

  • sugar and then blood pressure blood pressure blood pressure blood sugar
