Hi everyone it is Jennifer from Tarle speech with a Christmas week pronunciation lesson.
-
And I have a guest with me today, my elf, sassy boo, and drum roll please -
-
it's Claire! Everyone's been asking to see her. How old are you now Claire 8.
-
Okay so Claire planned this video today and the video is on the word mistletoe. So the word is
-
mistletoe. Mistletoe is a plant that grows on a tree. And it's traditional to hang it
-
over your door and then when it is hung over the door if you catch someone standing under it you
-
have to give them a kiss. yes. So to say mistletoe correctly Claire can you please hold my board
-
thank you very much. To say mistletoe correctly we have three beats: miss ul toe miss ul toe
-
So for the first syllable miss you're going to start with closed lips for that m. Move
-
to that short i sound with relaxed open mouth. You're just going to see your tongue
-
peeking out there. Everything is relaxed. And then move to the sss keep that air moving.
-
Tongue does not touch your teeth. Tip of the tongue is down or flipped back. Miss
-
Next we're going to move to syllable number two ul. To do this you're just
-
going to move your tongue up to touch the back of your top front teeth. ul ul ul
-
And then you end with toe. Start by touching the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front
-
teeth for that t and then end with the o. To do that open mouth and it moves to a pucker. Toe
-
Let's put it all together miss ul toe.
-
mistletoe mistletoe mistletoe mistletoe And now Claire's turn
-
give me three times mistletoe mistletoe mistletoe
-
I hope that someone that you love is standing under the mistletoe so that you can give them
-
a smooch. And Claire would also like to introduce her reindeer and what is
-
your reindeer's name is mistletoe. Say it again mistletoe show us mistletoe.
-
