Hey Jennifer from Tarle speech with another  heteronym lesson. Heteronyms are words that are  

Past simple

spelled the same but they have different meanings  and different pronunciations. Yes super confusing,  

I know. Our words today are a super duper duper  duper common mistake that I hear a lot of my  

students say. And the words are project which is  to show something on a screen and project a task.

So we have project which is the task the  noun and project which is the verb. Let's  

get this out of the way common rule: in  heteronyms if it's a noun and a verb,  

syllable number one will be stressed in a noun and  syllable number two will be stressed in the verb.  

So to say these words correctly  let's start with that syllable  

number two because it's the same sounds  in syllable number two. ject ject ject.

We're going to start with that J J. To do this  rounded lips, you're going to touch the tip of  

your tongue to the back of your top front teeth,  where the teeth meet the skin on the roof of your  

mouth, then you're going to pull that tongue back  into the middle of the mouth while air puffs out.

Next we're going to add that eh sound. To do  this your mouth is slightly open. You're just  

going to see the tip of your tongue between  your top and your bottom teeth. EH. Move to  

that k- tip of the tongue is down back of the  tongue is pulled high up air puffs out then  

you're going to flip the tongue touch the  tip of the tongue to the teeth for that t

Hope that little hand movement  wasn't too confusing for you.

Now for the beginning of both of these words  

we're going to start with that p r. My tip is  get your tongue where it needs to be for that R:  

tip of the tongue down or flipped back, back  of the tongue pulled high up. Put your lips  

together say that P, and then your tongue  is already there for the r : per per per.

For project you're gonna open your mouth  wide for that oh. Tip of the tongue is low,  

back of the tongue is pulled high up for  oh. We're gonna move from open to a pucker  

for that long o sound. Tongue is going to  move from low in the front to just flat.

Please project your project on the screen.

Give it a try people will notice the difference.
