question is about a confusing word pair and that word pair is guarantee which

basically means a promise and this is a synonym which means it's essentially the

same meaning as the word warranty and warranty is a little bit more of a

stronger word and we use it more as a legal term in the u.s. so just a little

more background guarantee is from French and warranty is from English so

hopefully that might help you just kind of understand why these words are

pronounced so differently so let's go ahead and jump in and look at these

sounds so super long words lots of letters that automatically confuses

people I totally get it so let's break these down into three syllables good

news the last two syllables of each of these words is exactly the same so we're

gonna start with the middle syllable we're going to have the schwa here that

means that this sound this vowel sound it's going to be very short very quick

and very relaxed uh we're going to add to that the n sound nnn so quickly move

from the uh to the n by touching the back of the top front teeth and the air

is going to move through your nose un un un I'm super fast and then we're going to

end with T I wrote it with two E's there so you know that'll be long because when

we see two vowels together we typically make them the long vowel length so we're

gonna say T by touching the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front

teeth let that air just pop out of your mouth and then move to that e by smiling

so let's put those together un tee un tee un tee now let's look at those beginning

syllables which is where I hear the confusion so for word number one gair

and for word number two wore so let's start with the gair I think that

all of these letters really confuse people and I hear even some people

trying to say a W sound which is why these words get so confusing for your

listener so we're going to start with the G sound to make a G sound the tip of

your tongue is going to be low in your mouth and the back of your tongue is

going to be pulled way high up to the roof of your mouth

sometimes it's touching your voice box is gonna be on and moving g g g

next you're gonna add the vowel air air to do this you're going to start with a

very wide open circle mouth that's going to get your tongue low in your mouth the

tip of your tongue low in your mouth and the back of your tongue is going to be

pulled up and then you're going to move to that er sound as you know since you

watch my videos you can either have tip of the tongue down or curled back just

don't touch your teeth and then your lips will be in a tense square let's put

that all together gair gair gair and then for a warranty you're going to

start with a W sound w and then we're gonna move to that or so to do that your

lips are gonna be puckered for the W still gonna be puckered for that or

beginning and then we're going to move to that er

sound to end that and for the ER we just talked about that tongue tip down or

back don't touch your teeth okay so we would say wore wore wore and as you can see

my lips move from very puckered to pulled back so make sure you do that

let's put these both together Geir un T guarantee guarantee guarantee

wore un T warranty warranty warranty yes you probably did hear a subtle

difference we're going to stress syllable number three here guarantee and

we're gonna stress syllable number one here warranty guarantee warranty

guarantee warranty let me give you a sentence

the store's guarantee was backed by a money-back warranty the store's guarantee
