mountains beautiful mountains but

26
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:10.799

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.200

yeah

33
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:31.859
[Music]

34
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.799
welcome back let's start with beach

35
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.959
because that one's ridiculous

36
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.280
so if you ask your teacher

37
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.240
how do i pronounce this word

38
00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:46.240
differently to this word

39
00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:48.960
they'll probably say well beach has a

40
00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:50.560
long e

41
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:51.600
sound

42
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:55.119
and [ __ ] has a short e sound

43
00:01:55.119 --> 00:01:56.719
beach

44
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:57.759
[ __ ]

45
00:01:57.759 --> 00:01:58.799
easy

46
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.079
oh

47
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.119
beach wait that still sounds like this

48
00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:04.159
word

49
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.000
how do we fix this

50
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.639
you need to grab a pen a straw

51
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.120
chopstick anything that shape

52
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.599
first thing is your tongue position this

53
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.560
is your tongue for this example so grab

54
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.040
that pen that straw that chopstick and

55
00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:21.360
put it between your teeth

56
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:22.480
oh yeah

57
00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:24.160
please don't choke

58
00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:26.080
are you still alive okay good let's

59
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.200
continue

60
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:29.919
to make the e sound your tongue

61
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.639
shouldn't touch this it's just chilling

62
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.238
on the bottom of your mouth

63
00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:40.239
but for the e

64
00:02:40.239 --> 00:02:43.680
sound with that tension in the tongue

65
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.480
now you should see the tongue come up

66
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:48.639
producing a different sound

67
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.958
e

68
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.239
see that pen moved up because my tongue

69
00:02:54.239 --> 00:02:56.959
was pushing it because it was tense

70
00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:00.480
so compare those two sounds remember if

71
00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:03.599
tongue is dead flat doesn't do anything

72
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:04.400
e

73
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.599
the tongue becomes tense rigid

74
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.519
it moves up in the mouth it changes

75
00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:12.080
position

76
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.760
e

77
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:16.959
e

78
00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:19.040
it's always the tongue that creates

79
00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:22.239
problems so the main problem is how you

80
00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:24.639
finish this word and i'll show you

81
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.639
exactly what the problem is

82
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.319
say beach

83
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.480
but pay attention to where your tongue

84
00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:31.360
is

85
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:32.879
at the ch

86
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:33.760
sound

87
00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:34.799
at the end

88
00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:37.360
really try it

89
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.000
okay where's your tongue

90
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.840
if your tongue finishes that ch sound

91
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.200
by hitting up here at the front roof of

92
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:49.680
your mouth

93
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.920
see see my tongue is hitting up

94
00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:52.720
there

95
00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:56.159
each even if you get that long e sound

96
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:57.840
it doesn't matter

97
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.239
if you finish with your tongue there it

98
00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:02.959
always sounds like this word so how do

99
00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:06.000
you fix that it's actually really easy

100
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.640
instead of stopping the airflow and

101
00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:11.439
stopping the sound with your tongue

102
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.920
stop it with your throat like a glottal

103
00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:15.840
stop

104
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.440
beach

105
00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:18.560
beach

106
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.600
see my throat is stopping the airway

107
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.000
stopping that sound by stopping the

108
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.320
sound in the throat you can make both

109
00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:27.440
words

110
00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:30.960
but like i said before if that stops the

111
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:33.199
airflow stops the sound

112
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.479
it will always sound like [ __ ] so

113
00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:38.240
that's the difference if you don't

114
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.120
believe me i'll show you perfect e sound

115
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.919
but i'll finish with my tongue here

116
00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:45.199
beach

117
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.240
beach

118
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.440
see

119
00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:50.320
that's what you've been doing [ __ ]

120
00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:51.919
i'm not calling you

121
00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:53.040
never mind

122
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.160
so the short answer dead tongue finishes

123
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.639
the sound with your tongue

124
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.720
[ __ ]

125
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.880
long e sound

126
00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:04.400
tense tongue

127
00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:07.440
finishes the sound with a glottal stop

128
00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:09.759
beach

129
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.759
say it with me

130
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.919
beach

131
00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:16.479
[ __ ]

132
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.199
beach

133
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.960
[ __ ]

134
00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:22.880
are you noticing your tongue is doing a

135
00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:25.120
different thing now if it is great

136
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.120
you're amazing let's move on

137
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.759
this is an awkward one but very easy to

138
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.039
fix don't worry so [ __ ]

139
00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:36.880
that is a vulgar slang term for penis

140
00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:40.240
coke is just that delicious drink so how

141
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.080
do you make those sounds

142
00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:43.039
easy

143
00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:46.080
with this we need an o sound look at my

144
00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:47.199
mouth

145
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:48.720
oh

146
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.639
nothing changes right my lips don't move

147
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.080
[ __ ]

148
00:05:54.080 --> 00:05:55.199
[ __ ]

149
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:56.800
but with coke

150
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.880
my lips will move

151
00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:00.560
oh

152
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.080
oh

153
00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:03.520
coke

154
00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:06.400
practice with me say it loud for your

155
00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:09.120
whole house to hear

156
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:10.800
[ __ ]

157
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.000
[ __ ]

158
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.479
your lips shouldn't move

159
00:06:14.479 --> 00:06:16.880
for this one your lips should move

160
00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:18.240
oh

161
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.039
coke

162
00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:24.560
please buy me a coke

163
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.800
next is keys and kiss

164
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.520
that was based on a true story one of my

165
00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:32.160
old students told me that she asked her

166
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.520
manager at work to give her kisses

167
00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:38.240
obviously her manager looks shocked but

168
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.400
we all know of course she was asking for

169
00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:41.839
her keys

170
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.639
well first keys are already plural you

171
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.759
don't need keyses and second the

172
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:51.199
pronunciation is easy it's the same as

173
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:52.960
[ __ ] and beach

174
00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:53.839
kiss

175
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.360
keys

176
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.759
short sound long sound

177
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.440
tension in the tongue

178
00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:00.839
e's

179
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.360
keys dead tongue

180
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:04.240
kiss

181
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.160
another two words you want to be careful

182
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.279
of is lick and leak

183
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.360
leak means this

184
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.319
or this and lick means this

185
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.720
so you definitely don't want to say this

186
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:17.520
one

187
00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:19.759
if you mean this one and again it's that

188
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.919
short dead tongue sound

189
00:07:21.919 --> 00:07:24.560
long tense tongue sound

190
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:25.919
lick

191
00:07:25.919 --> 00:07:27.199
leak

192
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.440
see the difference and yes of course

193
00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:32.319
this is the same for sheet and [ __ ] and

194
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.560
in the movie the terminal the main

195
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.880
character has problems with the word

196
00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:38.240
cheat

197
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.360
it's [ __ ]

198
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.599
what

199
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.319
eat [ __ ] so this is more a problem with

200
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.280
the ch

201
00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:52.080
and shh sounds okay with the ch sound

202
00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:54.319
remember earlier i talked about the

203
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.759
tongue hitting here for the ch sound

204
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.000
well we're gonna do the same again but

205
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.879
at the beginning of the word so try it

206
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.279
with me

207
00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:11.759

208
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.160
coming out of your mouth really fast in

209
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.919

213
00:08:21.919 --> 00:08:24.639

214
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.840

217
00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:38.360
try it with me

218
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.559

219
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:44.559
for cheat

220
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.480

221
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.640
