today's question can be a very embarrassing mistake and the question is

how do I say the word pawn which is a chess piece or that is security for a

loan and the embarrassing mistake would be someone might say porn which is short

for pornography so let's take a look at both of these words we have pawn and

porn so for the word pawn what you need to focus on is one vowel two letters

which stand for one vowel and the vowel here is the short open oh sound to make

this vowel you're going to open your mouth in a very wide oval shape and when

you do that think about putting your tongue really low in your mouth oh you

can see the tip of my tongue is way down on the bottom of my mouth and the back

of my tongue is pulled up oh oh oh so when I put that out together

pawn think the confusion here is that people often try to close their mouth

for that W sound pow n and then it kind of sounds like porn and the reason is is

that the or vowel is going to move and it's sort of that pucker shape so or or

so let's look at the difference oh or or so let's put those all together pawn

pawn pawn and porn porn porn the pawn shop refused to sell porn give it a try

I know people are going to notice the difference if you found this helpful
