How do we pronounce the words imagine and image?

Imagine means to create a picture in your mind or to think of something that is not yet real.

And image is a picture or visual representation of something.

This is a little bit confusing because the spellings are so similar.

I want you to think about two main points here.

We are stressing syllable number two and syllable number one.

We are going to have three syllables or three beats.

Syllable stress is on syllable number two.

When we unstress a syllable, it is going to be shorter and quicker and more relaxed.

So in this case we're going to say e and gin.

The main stress, the truest vowel is going to be on that ah, in imagine.

So we're going to open our mouth wide for that syllable and really go for it.

Now for image, we are going to stress the first syllable.

Imagine looking at an image that transports you to a far off land.

I know people are going to notice the difference.

I hope to see you next time for another lesson.
