Let's learn how to pronounce food, foot, and put.

我們來學 food、foot 和 put 的發音。

This is a follow-up lesson to last week; I have a viewer request here, and please join me.

這是上週的 follow-up lesson，有 viewer request，請大家跟我一起學。

I'm Jennifer Tarrell with Tarrell Speech, and

我每週二和週五都會有這樣的 lesson，所以記得要 subscribe。

Our words today are food, which is what people eat;

我們今天要學的字是 food，也就是大家吃的 food；

foot, which is the lowest part of the leg;

foot，也就是腳，是腿的最低部位；

put, which is to place something somewhere;

put，就是把東西 put 在某個地方；

and putt, which is to slowly hit a golf ball into the hole.

還有 putt，是緩慢地將高爾夫球打進洞裡。

All right, to say these words we are going to think about the vowels, we are going to think about the initial sound with some airflow, and

好的，要唸出這些字，我們要思考 vowels，我們要思考帶有 airflow 的 initial sound，

所以我們就 jump into 所有這些。

Many people struggle with the F versus the P sound.

很多人在 F versus the P sound 上會 struggle。

Many of you Vietnamese speakers and Tagalog speakers will love this lesson for this contrast here.

很多 Vietnamese speakers 和 Tagalog speakers 會 love this lesson 這裡的對比。

So for the F sound, we are going to think about gently biting the inside or the outside of the bottom lip.

所以對於 F sound，我們要想到輕輕咬下脣的內側或外側。

For the P sound, we are going to close the lips and then open them.

對於 P sound，我們要閉上嘴脣然後張開。

Now let's talk about the last sound in each of these words.

現在我們來談談這些字中最後一個 sound。

We make these sounds the same way in the mouth.

我們在嘴巴裡發出這些音的方式是一樣的。

I touch the tip of my tongue to the spot where the teeth and the skin meet on the roof of the mouth, and

我會用舌尖去碰上顎，就在牙齒和上顎的交界處，

While I do that, the air puffs out of my mouth.

當我這麼做的時候，空氣就會從嘴巴裡迸出來。

The only difference is my voice is on, my throat is vibrating—my larynx, my voice box—is vibrating for the D sound: d, d, d.

唯一的差別是我的聲音是開啟的，我的喉嚨在振動—我的喉頭，我的聲帶—在 D 音時振動：d, d, d。

Many of you can make this difference when these sounds are at the beginning of a word because you can say the word "do" and "to." But when these sounds are at the end of a word, oftentimes people don't use the voicing.

很多人在字開頭發出這些音時能做出這個差別，因為你們可以說 "do" 和 "to"。但當這些音在字尾時，常常大家就不會去使用聲音。

So a trick here is make sure that you keep the vowel connected to that last sound, and

所以這裡有個小撇步，就是要確保你把母音連接著最後那個音，

that is going to help you to keep that voice on because all vowels are voiced.

這會幫助你保持聲音的開啟，因為所有的母音都是有聲的。

Our vowel here in food is the OOO vowel, and we make that by puckering our lips: OOO.

我們 food 的母音是 OOO 母音，我們要這樣發：嘴脣縮起來：OOO。

所以我們的字是 food，food，food。

This gets confusing because we spell the word "foot" with a different vowel pronunciation and "food" with a different pronunciation the same way.

這會讓人搞混，因為 "foot" 這個字用了不同的母音發音，而 "food" 也用了不同的發音，但拼法卻一樣。

So the O-O in food is the long OOO, and the O-O in foot is the short U.

所以 food 中的 O-O 是長 OOO，而 foot 中的 O-O 是短 U。

Your lips are rounded for both of these sounds.

they are less rounded and more relaxed for the U, U, U.

U 的時候則比較不圓，也比較放鬆：U，U，U。

So let's try this word: foot, foot, foot.

所以我們來試試這個字：foot，foot，foot。

Putt is pronounced the same as foot, just with a P.

Putt 的發音跟 foot 一樣，只是開頭是 P。

So change the F to a P: putt, putt, putt.

所以把 F 換成 P：putt，putt，putt。

最後，為了做個對比，我加入了 putt。

And the reason I added this is because oftentimes my students will say "putt" instead of "putt" because they're trying to relax that vowel, and

我加入這個的原因是，我的學生常常會把 "putt" 說成 "putt"，因為他們試圖放鬆那個母音，

So remember, this U sound is slightly rounded, while the U is not rounded at all.

所以記得，這個 U 的發音會稍微圓脣，而 U 則完全不圓脣。

Let's give these words a try again: food, foot, putt, putt.

我們再來試試這些字：food，foot，putt，putt。

再說一次：food，foot，putt，putt。

And now for a sentence: I tried to put the food on the counter, but I missed, and

現在來個句子：I tried to put the food on the counter, but I missed,

I know people are going to notice the difference.

我知道大家會注意到這個差別。
