long question today we have the words sigh to  exhale sign an indication or a notification  

sin a transgression science the study of physical  or the natural world since because and conscience  

your inner voice it's a lot of words all right  let's take a look i tried to break this down  

into two columns with the long i and the  short iso let's talk about the long i first  

this vowel is going to be tense and you  are going to start with an open mouth  

i and move to a smile of course i'm exaggerating  i get comments in some of my videos saying i don't  

make my i like that this is for teaching  purposes so again to get your tongue in  

the right place you're going to open your mouth  wide in an oval i and then move to that smiling  

shape and that's going to get the tongue  tip down low and then high and flat i i i i  

next for the short ih sound you're going to relax  your lips my students often confuse this sound  

with the long e because they look very similar so  we have e and then relax your lips a little bit ih  

so your tongue is going to be high and flat but  not as high as the e it's going to pop down a  

little bit because you are relaxing your cheeks  and your lips and your mouth so we have e ih e ih

so hopefully that helps you get  the difference between those two  

vowels we're going to have the letter s the  s sound to start these words um to do this  

you are going to just have the tip of your  tongue either pointing down or behind the  

top front teeth it is not touching and the air  is going to continue to move out and then for  

the n sound nnn the tip of the tongue is going to  touch the back of the top front teeth and the air  

will move out of your nose so those are the basic  sounds that we're going to use something else to  

keep in mind is that we have some situations  where we have two syllables instead of one so  

let's start with the one syllable words and try to  put those all together so we have sigh sigh sigh

sign sign sign sign and then the  short i sin sin sin sin and sinse  

sinse sinse since now for that ns some people  will ask me about this um you're going to touch  

the teeth for the n nnn and then pull the tongue  down for that s as you do that make sure that  

the air is moving out of your mouth for the s  practice it slowly in two parts n s n s ns ns

it's always a great tip take it slow at first  and then speed it up now we have the word science  

spelling really confuses people here so we're  just going to have think of the um sounds s-i  

sigh and then we're going to end short  i ins science science science science  

and then for conscience you have some options  i've been getting a lot of comments about  

is it a short eye is it a short e is it a short u  focus on clarity and just having a short relaxed  

vowel sound there to get the word stress correct  for these unstressed syllables so i wrote it as  

the short i because we're studying this and i  think that lends to the lesson and um it's a  

little bit easier to remember if you're learning  but technically it is the short u the schwa sound  

you have an option you can either say ns  as the ending or you can do nts both are  

acceptable okay so we have conscience conscience  conscience i tend to not say the t but you can say  

conscience conscience conscience either is fine  so let's give them all a try sigh sigh sigh  

sign sign sign science science science sin sin sin  since since since conscience conscience conscience  

and now for a sentence i don't have one oh my  goodness that means you have to write one down  

so since i don't have a since i don't  have a sentence some of you may think  

that is a sin it will weigh heavy on my conscience  but science tells me since you all are so smart  

that you can leave your sign or your signature in  the comments section and leave a sigh of relief  

after you write a sentence give it a try  people are going to know this difference
