  • Hello Jennifer from Tarle Speech with your two  for Tuesday homophone lesson. Homophones are  

  • words that are spelled differently, have different  meanings, but you pronounce them the same way.

  • We have two words today

  • hostile which is unfriendlyan enemy, or opposed and 

  • hostel which is lodging that provides  inexpensive often shared rooms and bathrooms

  • To say these words correctly two syllables or  beats in these words. We're going to start with  

  • haas and to do that start with that h. Open  your mouth. It's relaxed. Air moves out.

  • Next open wide for that ah. Tip of the tongue  is low, back of the tongue is pulled high up,  

  • and then add the s. You can either have your  tip of your tongue down or behind the top front  

  • teeth. It's just not touching the teeth and the  air continues to move out of your mouth. haas

  • Then we're going to end with syllable number two  tul. And to do this, touch the tip of your tongue  

  • to the spot where your teeth meet  the skin on the roof of your mouth,  

  • and the air is going to puff out for that  t. You're going to pull the tongue down  

  • and then pull it right back up and touch  in that same spot for the l. tul tul tul.

  • You don't have to think about adding a vowel  if you just move from top to bottom like I  

  • just described, but some people think about that  as having an uh vowel in there, and that's fine

  • And then just relax the mouth for  that uh and then move to the l.

  • haas tull haas tuoll 

  • hostile hostile hostile hostile hostile hostile

  • And now for a sentence:

  • The hostel will not tolerate hostile guests.

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

  • please give us a like, a share, and a subscribe,

  • Thanks everyone have a great week!
