lesson and our mini series continues with two  words that are pronounced exactly the same way

knotty meaning full of knots  or a difficult problem and

naughty meaning bad

so let's go ahead and look at these words we  have naughty and naughty to say these words  

correctly you are going to start with an n sum  touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your  

top front teeth and the air moves out of your  nose next we're going to move to the short oh  

sound and to do that open your mouth and a wide  oval so the tip of your tongue can get super low  

in the front of your mouth and the back of  your tongue can be pulled up next touch the  

tip of your tongue to the back of your top front  teeth for that d d and then smile for the e  

e yes we do have a silent letter here the k we  do not say it and yes we have a flap t situation  

here where we say d instead of t i like to teach  the flat t as a super fast d instead of a t sound  

that seems to be easier for everyone if you do  want to continue to say a t that is totally fine  

everyone is going to understand you if you say  naughty instead of naughty but since this is  

american english and i'm doing a lesson on it i  will teach you in american english with the flap t  

and we say naughty naughty naughty and now for a  sentence the naughty elf tied the shoes together
