We have three words today nutrient  

nutrition and nutritious and these words all  refer to substances that provide nourishment.

So let's take a look at our words: We have nutrient nutrition and nutritious.

All right so let's start with syllable number one  new - nice and easy touch the tip of your tongue  

to the back of your top front teeth for that n  sound air will move out of your nose for that  

nasal n sound; and then puck your lips for the oo  and make that vowel nice and long. New new. Yes  

it's just like the word new. For nutrient, next,  we are going to move to the tree syllable. To say  

tree you are going to touch the tip of your tongue  to the back of your top front teeth for that t  

and then you are going to move it away either  

back away from the teeth or down to the  bottom of the mouth for the r tr tr tr

It's not a ch sound it's not a cha  it's a tr tr your tongue is staying  

is moving more down or flipping back  

not just pulling back I do have a video on that  sound i'll link it, um in case you are interested.

And then you are going to smile  for that long e tree tree tree. 

So let's put those first two syllables  together new tree nutri nutri new tree.

And then we're going to end with ant short  unstressed u sound mouth is just relaxed,  

and then say that n touch the  teeth, air comes out of the nose,  

and then as you pull the tongue away from  the teeth air just pops out of the mouth.

nutrient nutrient nutrient

Now for nutrition and nutritious,  

what we're going to do is we're going to shift  that stress to the tr, to that middle syllable,  

and we're no longer going to say an e. It's  going to be a short i. So you're going to relax  

your mouth a little bit for that short i, E is up  here , short i, ih, is just down here. Your tongue  

will go from way high for the e, pop down a little  bit, still going to be flat and high for that ih.

E ih E ih

And then we're going to end with shun,  pucker your lips for that sh sound,  

air moves out. Move to that short uh sound and  then end with the n by touching the tip of the  

tongue to the back of the top front teeth. Air  moves out of the nose for the shun or shus.  

Then you are just going to do the sh short u  uh s and then the s sound key here is make sure  

your lips are pulled back and no longer puckered.  For that s sound tip of the tongue is either down  

or behind the back of the top front teeth. Let's  put these all together: new tri shun new tri shus 

Let's give them all a try. nutrient nutrient nutrient
