This is a homophone lesson. The words are pronounced exactly the same way, the only difference is the spelling and the definition.

今天要講的是兩個同音字，也就是發音完全相同，但是拼法與意思不一樣的單字。

Our words today are "made", which is the past and  past participle of "to make", and "maid", a domestic servant or a young unmarried woman.

今天我們要教的是「made」，也就是「to make」(做) 的過去式與過去分詞。以及「maid」，也就是家裡的女僕，或是年輕未婚的女性。

So to say these words correctly, let's think of  three little sounds. The "M" sound will start.

要正確地說出這些單字，我們可以分成三個音節。先從「M」這個音開始。

To say this sound, lips are together, and air is moving out of your nose.

要發出這個音，嘴脣得先併攏，並讓空氣從鼻子裡吐出來。

Move to that long "A"—open your mouth wide to get that tongue tip low, and then the tongue moves to behind the top, to the back  of the top front teeth,

接著是長長的「A」音，請把嘴把張大並把舌尖向下方移動，接著把舌頭放到上排門牙後方

then after that,  your tongue is there, so then, just  touch the back of your teeth for that "D" sound.

接著把舌頭碰到門牙後側，發出「D」的音。

Made, made, made. Made, made, made.

Made、made、made、made、made、made。

And now for a sentence! The maid made the bed.

接著是例句！女僕鋪好了床。

Give it a try! I know people are going to notice the difference.

試著唸唸看吧！我相信周圍的人們能發現你的進步的。
