two for Tuesday today's words are groan meaning moan and grown the past

participle of to grow to say these words correctly we're gonna do three things

we're gonna start with that G R combination if you've watched a lot of

my videos you know that when we have two sounds at the beginning of the words two

consonant sounds we say those smoothly with no vowel in between hmm

how do we do that you're gonna start with a G sound and the tip of your

tongue is going to be low in your mouth with the back of the tongue pulled all

the way up to the roof of your mouth it can be touching and your mouth is going

to be open g g you're going to move to square tense lips and as you do

that your tongue is going to move slightly but I still keep the tip of my

tongue in the bottom of my mouth if you make your r with your tongue flipped

back that's totally fine just do not touch your teeth for this so when you

move to that square mouth shape your tongue will get into the correct spot

and you should just say that r nice and smoothly next move to that long oh

and you're gonna do that by opening your mouth and then moving to a pucker and

then end with the n by touching the tip of your tongue to the back of your

top front teeth groan groan groan

the farmers groan reflected his disappointment that he that the corn had
