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

  • question is how do I pronounce the words suggestion or a proposed idea let's take

  • a look at the word I think a lot of the confusion comes in because of the

  • spelling we actually have a J sound in the middle of the word which gets a

  • little confusing because we have two G's that confuses some people and then also

  • typically when we see tion we say tion and in this case we're not going to say

  • Sh we're going to say CH instead so let's start with the beginning which

  • people usually get sug it's super easy we're just gonna say that nice short uh

  • sound sug next here's where it gets a little tricky for people we're going to

  • move to the J sound and say Jess Jess to say the J sound be sure that you touch

  • your teeth with the tip of your tongue so touch the tip of your tongue to the

  • back of your top front teeth J J sugg Jess and then end with

  • Chun Chun again just like we touched the tip of the tongue to the back of the top

  • front teeth for the J we're going to do the same to start this CH sound ch ch

  • sug Jess Chung and then to end it make sure you use that nice short u sound and

  • then you end with the N by again touching the tip of your tongue to the

  • back of your top front teeth and for the n the air moves out of your nose let's

  • put that all together sug Jess chun sug Jess chun suggests chun
