that are pronounced exactly the same way. They are  spelled differently and have different meanings.

Our words today are: 

minor a small or underage person and minor a person who works in a mine

So to say these words correctly we  have two beats or two syllables: my ner

I wrote this two different ways m with the long  I. But I also wrote it as my because that word  

is pronounced the same way and if that is an  easy way for you to remember it then great.

So again to say this word correctly  let's start with the my. To do this  

lips together for the m air moves out of  the nose. And then open for that long I.  

Open wide, tongue tip is low, back of  the tongue is pulled up, and then smile.

my my my

Next we're going to end with  the second syllable ner.  

To do this touch the tip of your tongue  to the back of your top front teeth.  

Air moves out of your nose. And then move  to square tense lips with the tip of the  

tongue either pointed down or flipped back.  Back of the tongue pulled up for the ER.

Let's put it all together my  

ner my ner minor miner 

minor miner minor miner

And now for a sentence: A minor cannot be a miner.

Give it a try people are going to notice the  difference. If you found this helpful please
