  • hey everybody Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question

  • today's question is how do I pronounce the word editor and an editor is the

  • person who looks for mistakes in your texts so let's go ahead and jump right

  • in everyone's favorite schwa sound is back again today and we also have a flap

  • T showing up so let's go ahead and jump right in

  • we have Ed to start the word just like the man's name for this we're going

  • to save the short eh sound and then move to a d

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

  • this sound your voice box is going to be on and moving Ed

  • next move to that schwa the short uh sound remember in English when we have the

  • schwa syllable that is the shortest softest lowest pitched sound in that

  • word it's one little teeny tiny beat the uh and as a tip link it to the first syllable and

  • so it'll sound nice and natural without any breaks there Eda Eda next end with

  • der which is our last syllable I know that the flap T is not technically a D

  • but for most of my students just saying a D sound helps tremendously and it

  • really does sound like that flap T sound once you get good at it so what you're

  • going to do is then end with the er and again for the ER sound think of having

  • square tense lips tip of your tongue it's either pointed down towards the

  • bottom of your mouth or flipped back and away from your front teeth just do not

  • touch your teeth and do not let that tongue move let's put it all together

  • Ed uh der eda editor editor editor editor the editor finalized the draft of the

  • book the editor finalized the draft of the book give it a try people are

  • definitely going to notice the difference if you found this helpful
