Gerund

hey there Jennifer from Tarle speech thanks for joining me today today's

question is a very easy one how do I pronounce the words talk and talking we

have a silent letter today so let's take a look at these words the word talk or

to exchange information verbally is spelled t a l k we are not going to

pronounce that L sound great right we can just skip that to say this word

correctly we're going to say three sounds t oh k  so for this open short oh

sound the short o sound make sure you open your mouth very wide and an oval

shape and this will help get your tongue in the right place which is more in the

bottom of your mouth so talk and then we're going to end with that K sound

you're going to close your mouth a little bit and the back of your tongue

is going to be close to the roof of your mouth and the tip of your tongue will be

pointing down talk now for the word talking what you need to make sure you

do is break the syllables correctly so for this word think about saying ta and

then adding King talk King now it wasn't going to do this but I'm gonna add a

little bonus how do you say talked let me add that because I know someone is

going to ask this question and to say talked what you're going to do is say

the word talk oops I spelled that wrong for you and then end it with the T

talked so talk talking talked so we have one syllable

for talk two syllables for talking and then one syllable for talked so let's

try all those words again talk talk talk talking talking talking

talked talked talked I talk for a living I love talking so much that there have

been weeks that I talked so much that I've lost my voice give it a try I know

people will notice the difference if you found this helpful
