question is how do I pronounce the word stool and stool can mean a place where

you sit and it can also mean poop and it's a medical term and also stole and

stole can be a woman's scarf or to steal so let's go ahead and take a look at

these words this is actually a very quick lesson today so we have stool and

stole the difference is the vowel we have the long vowel oo and to make that

vowel think about puckering your lips and your tongue is going to be

relatively flat in your mouth and then for the O vowel your mouth is going to

open a little tiny bit to get started and when you do that the tip of your

tongue is going to be a little bit lower in your mouth and then when you close

your mouth to pucker your tongue moves up to the middle of your mouth oh oh so

we have ooo and then oh oh ooo oh so we have stool and stole a few other things to

keep in mind is when you say that s T we do not put a sound before the S or

between the s and the T it's not a stool and it's not sa tool it's a stool to do

that let the air move out of your mouth for that s and then touch your teeth for

the T t t t then a tip for the L at the end of the words make sure that you

touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth for the L sound

and hold it there for a second at the end of the word let's try those all

together stool stool stool stole stole stole

someone stole the woman's stole off of the stool give it a try I know people

are going to notice the difference if you found this helpful we'd love a like
