Let's learn some American football terms.

Modal verbs - B1

These are penalty terms that you may hear in an NFL game.

Most of the time you will hear this with an S at the end.

And this is a penalty in which the defense crosses the line of scrimmage.

It's that imaginary line where the ball is before the play starts too soon.

This is not to be confused with an offside kick, which is legal and strategic.

So to say that we are going to stress off, because this is a compound word, and

To do that, we are going to have the truest vowel.

So we're going to have a really wide open mouth for the ah.

And then add that F. Offsides, Offsides, offsides.

So a false start is when the offensive player moves before the center snaps the ball.

So that's the guy who stands in the middle.

He has the ball, and then he throws it back between his legs to the quarterback.

So if someone on the offensive side, the team that has the ball starts too soon on that side, then that is a penalty called a false start.

To say this word correctly, you are going to stress false, and

So the vowel in falls needs to be really true.

And that is a really wide open oval shape for that vowel.

Sometimes people will say, I don't even hear the L.

That's okay if you don't just think about continuously moving the tongue from sound to sound and think about moving to get to that square.

False, false, False start, false start, false start, false start.

And holding is when you illegally grab and hold another player.

So to say this word correctly, we're going to start with that horizon, and

To do that, you have to move your mouth for that long O sound.

So we're going to move from that H to the O.

Keep the air moving out of the mouth, whole thing.

I touch the tip of my tongue to the back of my top front teeth where the skin and the teeth meet on the roof of the mouth.

That kind of marks my L. And then I let the air puff out for the D sound.

Next we have pass interference, and this is illegal contact, which Prevents a catch.

So to say this word, we have lots of syllables.

We are going to stress the fear and interference.

You have two options for sounds in this word.

You can say inter with a t or you can drop the t altogether and say inner.

And this is just being very disrespectful and this can be a penalty.

So to say this, we're going to think about the two words together which are making a compound word.

So we are going to stress word one, unsportsmanlike and unstress conduct.

But we also have stress in the words with the syllables.

So we are going to stress sports and con.

So we have unsportsmanlike conduct, unsportsmanlike conduct.

And then when we put that all together, we are going to focus on unsportsmanlike.

And then conduct will be shorter and less stressed.

Unsportsmanlike conduct, unsportsmanlike conduct, Unsportsmanlike conduct.

So let's give all of those words a try one more time.

We have unsportsmanlike, like conduct, pass interference, holding, false start, offside.
