today's question is how do i pronounce drawer

a storage box in furniture and draw to make pictures or to choose like we

draw a card let's take a look at these words we have

draw and drawer these words are very confusing for a lot of my students they

are spelled similarly but they are pronounced in

a little more of an unusual way so for draw

as you know if you have been my student for a while here on youtube

we do not say a w sound at the end of a word we're not

going to say draw and add an extra w sound we're

actually just going to end this word with a vowel that oh

sound for drawer this word looks like it should be drawer

and it's not pronounced that way it's pronounced drawer and we're going to end

with that or vowel so all of these letters here

become the or vowel so how do we say these

they both start with that d r sound dr dr

to do this i recommend that your lips are ready for that r sound square tense

shape and they are going to be ready for that

er sound for the r the tip of your tongue can either be pointed down

or flipped back just as long as it is not moving and

as long as it is not touching the teeth okay

so your lips are ready you're thinking about where your tongue is going to go

for the r then you're going to start with the

tip of your tongue behind the back of your top front teeth that is

touching dr dr

and all i'm doing is pulling my tongue from here for the d and i actually make

my r with my tongue tip down so you can

pull it down or you can flip it back

whichever one works best for you dr dr next we're going to end that short oh to

do that open your mouth in a wide oval tip of

your tongue will be low in the mouth and the back of the tongue will be pulled up

and for drawer we are going to end with that

or sound and to do this you're going to pucker

and then pull back into that square tense shape for that

r or let's give those words a try draw draw

draw drawer drawer drawer draw

drawer draw drawer and now for a sentence my daughter plans

to draw flowers on the chest of drawers give it a try
