The words today are: cent which is a small monetary unit 

sent to mail a letter or to propel and saint a holy or virtuous person

So let's take a look at our words. The words  are relatively the same. The only difference  

today is going to be the vowel sound. So  let's start with those consonant sounds.

To say the s sound correctly let's start with  that s. And to do this, the tip of your tongue  

is either down towards the bottom of the mouth -  pointed down. Or it is behind the top front teeth.  

It is not touching any place in the mouth. Air  is just going to keep moving out of the mouth.

Then let's finish the ending of the words  too because those are both the same.  

For the n sound touch the tip of your tongue to  the back of your top front teeth for that n air  

moves out of your nose. Then pull the tongue  down for the t. Air is just going to puff out.

Now let's look at that eh versus the a sound.  Okay for the short e sound the eh sound,  

what you're going to do is your mouth is  going to be relaxed, and it's going to be  

slightly open. You should see the tip of your  tongue between the top and the bottom teeth.  

The back of my tongue is flat  

and the back of my tongue is almost  touching the inside of my back teeth.

Now for the A sound. We're going to practice this  by really moving the mouth A. And to do this you  

can see I start with a very wide open mouth and  then I move to a smile. When I do that, the tip  

of my tongue starts way low in my mouth, back of  the tongue is pulled high up, and then my tongue  

moves to high and flat, behind the top front  teeth, and it is not touching my teeth at all. A A

Let's try these in words so we have eh  

in sent sent sent And A in saint saint saint 

sent saint sent saint 

sent sent sent saint saint saint

And now for a sentence: The child sent santa a story about Saint Nicholas.

Giive it a try. I know people are  going to notice the difference!
