Hey, everyone, I got a great question that I'm going to answer today about the AI tool Claude.

So Claude is a man's name or the name of an AI tool.

And a cloud is tiny water droplets that form different shapes and the sky.

L, KL KL So to do this, you're going to open your mouth for that K.

Tip of the tongue is low, back of the tongue is pulled high up.

As that air is puffing out, you're going to move the tip of that tongue to the back of the top front teeth where the skin and the teeth on the roof of the mouth meet.

And to do this, you're going to touch that same spot where the skin and the teeth meet and the air is going to puff out for the D.

Some people will make this with an unreleased D and that means that you just hold the tongue there and no air puffs out.

It's hard to do without other sounds, but

I'll show you when I give the example, the difference is the vowel sounds.

This gets a little confusing in American English, Claude is pronounced with an ah sound.

It is one sound spelled with two letter vowels.

So open your mouth in a wide oval for that ah.

I was just doing that unreleased D. Just ending by holding the tongue there one more time.

Of course it's fine if you want to say Claude with a little bit of puff of air, totally fine.

For cloud, we have a movement vowel here.

I am spelling it with an ow here to indicate that your mouth is going to be moving O, O, O.

So you're moving from that wide, round, open circle to puckered lips.

The young boy Claude looked up at the cloud and said, isn't it beautiful?

I know people are going to notice the difference.
