Two words today roam to move about aimlessly and  room a division of a building with four walls.  

I think the confusion comes in because of the  spelling typically when we see two vowels together 

-the first one we pronounce the letter  name and make it a long vowel and 

-the second one is just silent  that is the case here in

But here for this o o we  are going to pronounce it as  

EW. So let's take a look at all of these  sounds and break this down a little bit more.

Okay let's start with that last sound the  m easy breezy put your lips together mmmmm.  

Air moves out of your nose.

You're going to start both of these words with  the r sound rrrr. Lips are square and tense,  

tip of the tongue is either pointed down or  flipped back, back of the tongue is pulled  

up high in both situations, and be sure to not  touch your teeth with the tip of your tongue.  

If you do that oftentimes it will sound like  a d sound or a trilled r to um a listener.

Next we're going to move to the EW by puckering  your tongue is just going to be flat in your mouth  

and then again end with the m.

room room room room room

And then for roam. You're going to open  your mouth more for that vowel sound  

OOOO. Gonna start in that wide oval shape. Tip  of the tongue is down, back of the tongue is  

pulled high up. And then you're going to move  to a pucker. As you pucker your tongue is  

going to move along for the ride and end up  flat and in the middle of your mouth. OOOOO

roam roam roam roam roam

This would also be the pronunciation of the city  Rome and that's how we would say that in English.

So again we have: room room room 

roam roam Rome room  

roam room roam

And now for a sentence:

The dog will roam around the room all day.

Give it a try I know people are going  to notice the difference. If you found
