Hi everyone it's Jennifer with Tarle speech with your tip on how to pronounce
-
a suffix today. Our suffix today is
-
ment and we are going to pronounce ment as munt and it's going to be an unstressed syllable.
-
To so to say this syllable, we're going to start with the m
-
sound. To do this put your lips together, air is going to move out of your nose.
-
Next open your mouth. It's going to be relaxed.
-
Tongue in the middle of your mouth for a short uh sound.
-
Then touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth for that n nnn.
-
Air is moving out of your nose.
-
Then quickly shift the air to coming out
-
of your mouth as you pull your tongue down away from your teeth N T N T
-
munt munt munt
-
And we hear this in the words
-
adjustment development
-
punishment replacement
-
amusement amazement
-
encouragement and refreshment
-
If you say an ent or an int at the end for that short e or that short i. Totally fine! You just
-
want that to be an unstressed, shorter vowel sound at the end of the word in that suffix.
-
So one more time adjustment
-
amusement development
-
amazement punishment
-
encouragement replacement
-
and refreshment
-
