  • Hey everyone jennifer from Tarle speech withvery quick question of the week. The question  

  • is how do I pronounce the word although  that means in spite of. Okay so we have  

  • lots of letters spelling this word but very  few sounds and I'm going to give you a few tips  

  • so this might help you say this wordlittle easier. We're going to start with the  

  • all this is like the word a-l-l that you probably  say all the time, and that you can say typically.  

  • When we say the word all you open the mouth and  a wide oval tip of the tongue is down back of the  

  • tongue is pulled up then you move the tongue tip  to behind the back of the top front teeth: all.  

  • Okay here's the trick: you can also make  an l by sticking your tongue out of your  

  • mouth and touching your teeth. I know it  sounds crazy but i'm going to show you.

  • ALL ALL ALL

  • So again i'm sticking my tongue out for  that L - that is an option. Most people  

  • don't say an L that way but you can and  we're going to do it here for this word.  

  • The next sound is that th sound where your  tongue is out of your mouth and air is  

  • going to move over your tongue so you kind of  have to make your tongue into like a u shape.

  • TH TH

  • You can kind of see that u shape that  I have that allows the air to move  

  • out, over the top of the tongue, out of the mouthYour voice box is on and vibrating and moving.

  • So you can see when I stick  my tongue out for the L  

  • I only have to move it down  away from my teeth for that th.

  • Then we're going to end with that long o.  

  • Pucker those lips and make it nice  and long. Let's try that all together:

  • all though

  • all though although although  although although although although 

  • Although this is very tricky I know you will  all get it with a little bit of practice.

  • So give it a try people will  definitely notice the difference  

  • or if you need more help we have  products on google play iTunes and  

  • classes at Tarle speech thanks  everyone have the best weekend!
