question is how do I pronounce the words tall meaning of larger than average

height and toll which would be an amount of money that you pay to use a road or a

bridge so we're going to talk mostly today about the vowel sounds one is the

short oh and the other is the long o both of these words have the same

beginning and ending sound so that should be relatively easy let's go ahead

and take a look at the words and I actually have a little visual for you as

well so to say these words correctly let's start by touching the tip of your

tongue to the back of your top front teeth just to clarify I do say that

because it's pretty easy to say but technically speaking you can touch that

little spot between your teeth and the gums on the top of your mouth several

people have asked that recently and yes that is exactly correct you can put your

tongue right there on that spot when you say the T sound the air will puff out of

your mouth ttt for the L sound lll this last sound we're only going to

say one L 2 letters pronounced only as one L sound lll to say that sound you're

going to touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth again

but this time the air is going to continually come out of your mouth and

you want to make sure that you hold the tip of your tongue there so that the

vowels sound correct the mistake that I hear is people pull their tongue down

too quickly and then it sounds like the L isn't there and yes to get super

technical some people do make the L sound by

touching their teeth outside of their mouth lll lll and this is totally fine so

you have two options there now for our vowels in the word tall what you're going

to do is a have a great great way to remember this you're going to make your

mouth open so wide that it looks tall so you're

gonna have a tall wide-open mouth and for the long o sound what you're going

to do is you are going to move to a pucker o o o so the difference here

is tall and Toll tall tall tall toll toll toll tall toll the tall man paid

the toll give it a try I know people are going to notice the difference if you
