question is how do I say the word Constitution which are the fundamental

principles of a an organization or a country so let's take a look at this

word Constitution we're going to break this down into syllables and so think of

this more as a word stress lesson this week so word stress here is going to

really impact this word and it's a little different than is typical the

word stress is going to be more towards the end of the word because we have that

tion ending I have a class on that I feel interested in how to pronounce

those tion endings so I'll put a link at the bottom of the video for you so let's

start with syllable number one con it's gonna be nice and short yes there is

that open vowel the short con and then we're gonna quickly move into this

really short syllable Consta con sta and you're gonna have that schwa sound

there consta then we're gonna move to the stressed syllable - to stress the

syllable we're going to make it a little louder the vowel a little longer and the

pitch a little bit higher that being said most of my clients really mess up

syllable stress because the vowels are too short and typically the same length

so make sure that you make this vowel extra long to get that stress correct

and then last we're going to end with the tion syllable tion consta two shun
