Past simple

hi everybody Jennifer from Tarle Speech I got a great question today in an email

it is how do I pronounce whatever and wherever at normal conversational speed

when they're in a phrase so I have a couple of tips for you so let's go ahead

and take a look so we have what ever and we're gonna pronounce this as wud

wud wud ever whatever so the first syllable is going to be

very short wud and the second syllable of the word or the second word rather will be a

little bit longer so whatever whatever so that's number one

same thing here where ever think of pronouncing this word as wear like we

wear clothes wherever wherever so the key is is to

again make the wud very short whatever and we're gonna use that flap T there so

it's going to sound like a D and wherever so you want to make those short

at the beginning and then also link those words together and by linking what

I mean is no pause between those two words so it's almost like whatever is

one word and wherever is one word okay so that's number one is make these two

short phrases sound like one word whatever wherever number two when we add

them to another phrase how could we make that sound a little better again let's

think about linking so practice first being able to say whatever and wherever

and then think about what do you want to add to this sentence so for instance he

said in his question whatever the weather so again I just said that with

pauses in between words and that's totally fine everyone is going to

understand you so you can do that and say whatever the weather that's just

fine or you can get fancy you can link these two words whatever and then

link these two words the weather whatever the weather so again super

short for what super short for the link those with no pause between so the

practice the weather the weather the weather and then practice whatever

whatever whatever now let's combine the two the weather

whatever the weather whatever the weather whatever the weather whatever

the weather can hear my pitch going up a little bit on the second word in each of

those phrases so whatever the weather another example would be wherever we go

or wherever I think he said we were same thing let's take those principles

wherever we're gonna link this we were we're going to link this wherever we

were wherever we were wherever we were again we're going to go sort of wherever

we were wherever we were linked those all together practice we were we were we

were practice wherever wherever wherever and then let's combine wherever we were

whatever the weather wherever we were we can practice our speech as we go I made a

little rhyme for you so give it a try I know people are going to notice the
