We have three words today choir a singing group 

我們今天有三個詞，合唱團的一個歌唱小組

inquire to ask and inquiry an act of asking for information 

inquire 詢問和查詢 一種詢問資訊的行為

Kind of a tough lesson today but hang in  there i'm gonna make it as easy as possible. 

今天的課程有點難，但要堅持住，我會盡可能讓它變得簡單。

Okay so word number one choir -  spelling really confuses people.  

好吧，那麼第一號字的合唱團--拼寫真的讓人困惑。

Been getting a lot of questions about the  ch sound I plan on doing a video about that  

我收到了很多關於合唱團聲音的問題，我打算做一個關於這個問題的視頻。

the letter ch I should say n Not the sound, the letter c h,  

字母ch 我應該說n 不是聲音，是字母c h。

can be pronounced as a k, they can also be  pronounced as a ch, and sometimes as an sh. 

可以讀作k，也可以讀作ch，有時還可以讀作sh。

But today we are going to pronounce them as a k. So we're going to say the word choir we're going  

但今天我們要把它們發成k的音。 所以我們要說合唱團這個詞，我們要

to start with that k w sound. So to say the  k tip of the tongue is down the back of the  

要從這個k w音開始。所以說，k的舌尖是在後面的

tongue is pulled up and then we're going to move  to the w sound by puckering your lips, kw kw kw. 

舌頭拉起來，然後我們要通過撅起嘴脣來發w的音，kw kw kw。

Next we're going to add the vowel ire, and to  do that you're going to open your mouth really  

接下來我們要加上元音ire，要做到這一點，你要張開嘴，真的

wide so that the tip of your tongue can be low,  and the back of your tongue can be pulled up. 

寬，這樣你的舌尖可以很低，而你的舌背可以被拉起來。

Then you're going to close your mouth to a square  tense lip shape for that er part of this vowel  

然後，你要把嘴閉上，使這個元音的er部分呈現出方形緊張的脣形

sound, and again the tip of your tongue is down  or the back of your tongue can be flipped back. 

聲音，同樣，你的舌尖是向下的，或者你的舌背可以向後翻轉。

Let's put that all together  kw ire choir choir choir. 

讓我們把這一切放在一起，Kw ire choir合唱團合唱團。

And that word has one beat or one syllable - choir We are going to use the word choir in the  

這個詞有一個節拍或一個音節--唱詩班 我們將在唱詩班中使用這個詞。

next word when we say inquire. w We are going to start with the short word in. And  

我們將從短語in開始。而且

to do that, we're going to have the short i sound  the ih sound. Your lips are relaxed your mouth is  

要做到這一點，我們要發短i音，即ih音。你的嘴脣是放鬆的，你的嘴是

slightly open and the tongue is just at the top  of the, um, just at the level of the top teeth.

微微張開，舌頭就在，嗯，就在上牙的位置。

And then you're going to touch the tip  of the tongue to the back of the top,  

然後你要將舌尖接觸到頂部的背面。

top front teeth for that n sound, and the  air is going to move out of your nose. So in  

上門牙發出 "n "的聲音，而空氣將從你的鼻子中流出。所以在

and then move to choir. So because this word  is two beats we are going to have to stress  

然後移到合唱團。是以，因為這個詞是兩拍，我們要強調的是

one of the beats of the word and unstress  the other. So what does that mean.  

詞的一個拍子，而不強調另一個拍子。那麼這意味著什麼呢。

We are going to stress choir in this case. It's  going to be louder, longer, and higher in pitch.  

在這種情況下，我們要強調合唱。它要更響亮，更長，音調更高。

That means we have to unstress the in part,  which needs to be lower in pitch, softer, and  

這意味著我們必須取消強調的部分，它需要降低音調，更加柔和，並且

shorter. The vowel will be shorter so let's  put that all together: inquire inquire inquire. 

更短。元音會更短，所以讓我們把這一切放在一起：inquire inquire inquire。

Now for inquiry. This gets confusing  because the stress is going to shift  

現在是詢問。這就變得混亂了，因為壓力要轉移了

to the beginning of the word, and when we do that,  we are going to have to stress the in part. That  

到這個詞的開頭，當我們這樣做時，我們將不得不強調in part。這一點

means the vowel is going to get shorter in this  middle part of the word. So we're no longer going  

意味著元音在這個詞的中間部分會變短。所以我們不再去

to say ire, we're just going to say er in query,  and end with that re, and to do that r sound,  

說 "ire"，我們就說 "er"，然後以 "re "結束，併發出 "r "的聲音。

we've talked about it already, and then e -  tongue is high and flat and your lips are smiling. 

我們已經說過了，然後e - 舌頭高而平，你的嘴脣在微笑。

So let's put that all together  in query inquiry inquiry inquiry

是以，讓我們把這一切放在一起查詢查詢查詢。

Let's give them all a try
