hi everyone this is Jennifer from Tarle speech and I have a quick bonus

Present continuous

lesson for you thanks to a linked-in subscriber so let's just get right to it

the words are first meaning number one position and fast meaning quick so the

difference here is going to be the vowel so let's take a look at the words in the

word first we are going to focus on the e.r fur to make that ER vowel  think

about making square lips and they're going to be tense and that's going to

help get your tongue in the right position for the er you know the drill

you've seen so many of my videos tongue tip is either pointed towards the bottom

of the mouth or flipped back and pointing towards the back of the mouth

but the key is do not touch your teeth with your tongue er er in  fast we

have this short a a a fast so we have er with the square lips and then aa really wide

open circle lips and that's going to help your tongue get low in your mouth

the tongue tip is going to be super low and the back is going to be pulled up

towards the roof of the mouth so we have ah ah now let's add that F at the

beginning fur and fa and then we're going to end with the st to do this make sure

that you keep that air moving for the s and to do that your tongue is not going

to touch your teeth then touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top

front teeth for that t st st and let's put that all together we have first first

first fast fast fast you must be fast to be
