modern and modem so to say these words correctly we're

dern and mo dum these words really get confusing because

of the spelling but if you think about it this way it's

going to be much easier so let's start with

modern so to say modern we're going to think about this

oval shape tip of your tongue is going to be low in the mouth and the back of

the tongue is going to be pulled up oh for the o

you are going to move from an open o to a puckered

mouth this is going to allow your tongue to move from

low to a little bit higher in the mouth o

then we're going to move to the endings the difference here is the

earn and the um so to say dern focus on this e r

n and to do this you're going to have square

tense lips for that er er tip of the tongue is either down or flipped back

whichever one it is just not touching the teeth

and then you're going to end by touching the back of the top front teeth for the

modern and then for modem we're going to end with that um and to

do this your mouth is going to be open and

relaxed for that uh  sound nice and short and then close your

mo dum modem modem modem so again we have
