hi everyone this is Jennifer from Tarle Speech I hope this video finds you

all well I have been getting a lot of requests for pronunciation of certain

Present continuous

words related to the current global pandemic and so I'm going to do a quick

series for you this week so check every day I will have a new video posted for

you our first word is how do I say the word mask and to say this word correctly

we're going to start with that M sound mmm to do this you're just going to put

your lips together and air is going to move out of your nose next we're going

to move to that open AH sound to do this think about having your mouth in a wide

circle open wide in a circle shape and then the tip of your tongue is going to

be low in the mouth the back of your tongue is going to be pulled up and then

we're going to move to that s you're going to close your mouth closed um

almost closed for this sound the tip of your tongue is going to be behind the

back of the top front teeth or pointed slightly down do not touch your teeth

for this sound and keep the air moving out of your mouth and let's try these

three together now and then we're going to end with the K sound to do this you

are going to tip your tongue down a little bit further point that tongue

down towards the bottom of the mouth the back of the tongue is going to pull up

for some people it touches the roof of the mouth for others it just gets super

close and then you are going to say that K sound  by letting that air puff out

mask mask mask and now for a sentence please wear a face mask to prevent

transmission of disease give it a try people are going to notice the

difference I hope you found this helpful please give us a like and a share be

well and I will see you all tomorrow thanks so much take care
