We have a follow-up to last week's lesson. And our  lesson today is again on that long i sound in the  

spelling exception here. So  we are talking today about i n  

d and typically when we have a  closed syllable, when we're spelling,  

we are going to pronounce the vowel as a short  i sound, when it's closed by having one or two  

consonants after it. This is an exception. So you  would think that we would pronounce this ind but  

we're not going to pronounce it that way, we're  going to pronounce it with the long i sound, ind.

So to do this, you are going to open your mouth  very wide to start. Tip of your tongue is down,  

back of your tongue is pulled high  up, and then you're going to move  

to a smile with a high flat tongue  behind the top front teeth for the i, i.

Next touch the back of your top front teeth  or that n. Air is moving out of your nose  

and then as you pull your tongue down the  air can puff out of your mouth for that d. 

ind ind ind

Let's try it in some words bind

find kind 

mind rind 

wind bind

find kind 

mind rind  

and wind

So please give me a sentence and give it  a try I know people are going to notice  

the difference. If you found this helpful  please share us, and if you need more help,  

you can check out our products  and our classes at Tarle speech.

Thanks everyone have a great week!
