Hi everyone! This is Jennifer from Tarle speech  with your two for Tuesday. These are two words  

that are pronounced exactly the same way. They  have different spellings and different meanings.

To-infinitive

Our words today are steal: which means  to take without permission or a bargain.

And steel: a strong metal used in construction  or to prepare yourself to do something different.

Let's take a look at our words four  little sounds today. So to say these  

words correctly start with the s. Make sure  if you have the tendency to say eh steal,  

to just take an extra second to get that  air going, and keep it going for the s.

Then touch the tip of your tongue to the  back of your top front teeth for that  

t sound. Then smile - high flat tongue for that  

e and then touch the tip of your tongue to  the back of your top front teeth for the l.

The steel worker tried to steal a moment of  rest since his job was so physically difficult.

Give it a try people are going to notice  the difference. If you found this helpful  

we would love it if you shared us  with your friends. If you need help,

Thanks so much everyone! Have an amazing week!
