Hi everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech. I have  a word today that is a heteronym, actually two  

words. Heteronyms are spelled the same but they  have different meanings and pronunciations.  

I ask humbly for forgiveness from all Japanese  speakers and all of my Japanese students . I'm  

going to teach this the American way. It is  not the Japanese way of pronouncing this word.  

um But my point in the lesson is  to teach the difference. So we have  

sake which is how we pronounce it in  America. I'm gonna try the Japanese way:  

sake. Um and that is the drink and then  we have sake which means a purpose.

The big difference here is that there are two  syllables in sake and one syllable in sake.

So we have sake sake sake sake and sake sake sake sake sake sake sake

And now for a sentence for goodness sake,  let's just do another round of sake!

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

please give us a like, and a share,  and again asking for forgiveness  

from all of my students for mispronouncing  that Japanese word. I'm just teaching the  

American pronunciation. And if you need more  help you can check us out at Tarle speech.

Thanks so much everyone have an amazing weekend!
