  • mass which is a weight or a religious celebration  mask which is a face covering and mosque which is  

  • a place of worship so let's go ahead and take  a look at these words so we have mass mask and  

  • mosques all of these words start with the m sound  to do that lips together air is moving out of your  

  • nose for that m for mass and mask we are going  to add that open short ah vowel it's that very  

  • american ah to do this think about opening your  mouth in a wide circle you can see i actually  

  • drew a little face there to help you remember  mouth is open in a wide circle that will allow  

  • you to get your tongue low in your mouth in  the front and high and pulled up in the back  

  • and then we're going to add the ass sound to do  this tip of the tongue is down or behind the top  

  • front teeth just it's not touching and the air is  going to continue to move out of your mouth mass  

  • mass mass mass now for mask what you're going  to do is end with that k to do that tip of the  

  • tongue is pointed down back of the tongue is  pulled up air puffs out of your mouth my tip  

  • is take it slowly from that s to the k and you  will be able to do it let's give that a try um

  • mask

  • mask mask mask mask now for mosque  we're going to do the open short  

  • ah sound and to do this think of having your  mouth in an oval shape in doing that that will  

  • help you get your tongue in the correct spot the  tip of your tongue again is going to be down in  

  • the back of your tongue is going to be pulled up  by changing the shape of your mouth that limits  

  • the space inside of your mouth for your tongue to  go and that helps you get into the correct space  

  • so again this is my little  reminder here open oval shape ah  

  • then move to that s and then end with  the k let's put it all together slowly

  • mosque mosque mosque let's give  them all a try mass mass mass  

  • mask mask mask mosque mosque mosque one more time  mass mask and mosque and now for a sentence due
