  • everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question today's

  • question is how do I pronounce the word listen which means to give attention to

  • a word so this word is going to have a silent letter today which should make

  • this lesson a little bit easier the word is spelled l i s t e n and we are going to think about two beats

  • two syllables and the word li sin so this should be relatively easy let's

  • jump right in start with the L sound by touching the tip of your tongue to the

  • back of your top front teeth and then move to that short relaxed ih

  • sound so you're going to do this by having a flat tongue just below your top

  • teeth just flat in your mouth li next add sin and to do this you're going to

  • make an S keep that tip of the tongue behind the top teeth and let the air

  • move out of your mouth again add a short ih sound and then end with an end by n

  • touching the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth and the air

  • will move out of your nose so we have li sin li sen listen listen listen I

  • hope that you listen to all of my video lessons give it a try I know people are
