the words are pronounced exactly the same  way; the words are just spelled differently  

and have different meanings. So our words  today are stare which means to hold a gaze  

or a vacant look and stair a step.

So to say these words correctly we're going  to start with that s t cluster to do this  

your tongue is going to be behind your top front  teeth or slightly pointed down towards the bottom  

of your mouth and the air is going to move over  your tongue and out of your mouth continuously;  

then you're going to move that tongue to the back  of the top front teeth and touch it for that t.

Then we're going to move to that air  vowel and to do that open your mouth wide  

air. Keep your tongue and about the  same place when your mouth is open.  

It's going to be low - tip of the tongue is  going to be low, back of the tongue is going  

to be pulled way high up, keep the tongue in  that position as you move to square tense lips.

air air air let's put it all together

stare stare stare stare stare stare stare stare

And now for a sentence The dog on the stair likes to stare at the cat.
