question is how do I pronounce the two words cheat and sheet let's go ahead and

take a look at these words so cheat means to act dishonestly and sheet refers to a

rectangular piece of paper or a material or some type of substance the big

difference between these two words which confuses my students is the CH sound and

the SH sound first let's talk about spelling the CH and the SH I circled on

here so you know that it is one sound spelled with two letters this is called

a digraph in English and it means two letters one sound so tip number one is

don't even think about saying an H sound that should help you a lot I have lots

of students that try to do that so let's now learn how do we actually

say these sounds let's start with the Shh sound this is relatively easy you're

going to round your lips very round very tense and that should get your tongue

into the right position it's going to be high and flat in your mouth and it is

not touching your teeth sh and the air is going to continuously move out of your

mouth now for the CH sound again remember two letters one sound what

you're going to do is you're going to round your lips again but this time

you're going to touch the tip of your tongue that part right there to the back

of your top front teeth ch ch ch so you're going to touch and then pull it back touch and

pull it back so we have ch and sh

ch

Shh then for both words they end the same we're going to move to a long e by

smiling and then touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front

teeth for the t sound so we have cheat cheat cheat and sheet sheet sheet so

again touch your teeth cheat don't touch your teeth sheet now as a little bonus

how do you say the word cheat sheet which would be some notes that you have

maybe to take into an exam when you're allowed to use your notes to take the

test what you're going to do is we're going to make a compound noun what is

that it's two words put together to form a new word that means something

different and when we make a compound noun we're going to link the words

together meaning no pause between those two words word number one is going to be

louder and it's going to be higher in pitch and the vowel is going to be

longer as opposed to word number two which will be softer lower in pitch and

have a shorter vowel so we're gonna say cheat sheet cheat sheet cheat sheet

cheat sheet so I hope you don't have to cheat on your test when you're writing

your answers on the sheet since you were allowed to bring in a cheat sheet give

it a try people are going to notice the difference if you found this helpful
