  • Hi everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech.

  • It is your two for Tuesday. Actually today uh  you get a freebie - it's a three for Tuesday.  

  • These are homophones. Words that  are pronounced exactly the same  

  • but they have different spellings  and different meanings. We have

  • you which is the pronoun referring  to a person you are addressing 

  • ewe a female sheep and U the letter

  • Here we are two little sounds for today Y and EW

  • So to start with that Y sound tip of the tongue  is low in the mouth and the back of the tongue  

  • is way high up. You can actually use your back  teeth to sort of anchor your tongue in there.

  • Y - do not touch your teeth. If you  touch your teeth this will sound like  

  • J and we're not looking for thesound. We're looking for the y y y

  • Then you're going to move to  that long EW and you're going  

  • to do that by puckering your lips  and making that sound nice and long.

  • you you you you you you

  • And now for a sentence:

  • YOU are the best!

  • Give it a try I know people are going to notice  the difference. And if you want to use those  

  • other words in a sentence go for it. I'd love  to hear your sentences. If you need more help  

  • you can check us out at Tarle speech. Thank  you so much everyone have an amazing week!
