English lesson.

I came all the way to New York City to talk to you about the pronunciation of the word city.

This is a word that I hear mispronounced a lot in my students.

There are two reasons.

One.

The vowel in the stressed syllable.

That should be it, not e uh, The tongue isn't as close to the roof of the mouth see, So there's just a little bit more space between the tongue and the roof of the mouth for the it as and sit vowel and just a little bit more jaw drop.

See City.

It's a little bit more relaxed than that.

T that should not be a treaty, but it should be a flap t because it comes between two vowel sounds.

What can you do that, uh, city city City?

Welcome to New York City.
