a suffix today. Our suffix today is  

ment and we are going to pronounce ment as munt  and it's going to be an unstressed syllable.

To so to say this syllable,  we're going to start with the m  

sound. To do this put your lips together,  air is going to move out of your nose.

Next open your mouth. It's going to be relaxed.  

Tongue in the middle of your  mouth for a short uh sound.

Then touch the tip of your tongue to the  back of your top front teeth for that n nnn.  

Air is moving out of your nose.

Then quickly shift the air to coming out  

of your mouth as you pull your tongue  down away from your teeth N T N T

munt munt munt

And we hear this in the words 

adjustment development 

punishment replacement 

amusement amazement 

encouragement and refreshment

If you say an ent or an int at the end for that  short e or that short i. Totally fine! You just  

want that to be an unstressed, shorter vowel  sound at the end of the word in that suffix.

So one more time adjustment 

amusement development 

amazement punishment 

encouragement replacement  

and refreshment

So give it a try I know people are going  to notice the difference! If you found
