  • first syllable. Ver-y, ver-y, very, very. It begins with the V consonant sound. If you

  • come from India, look out. You might want to make it a [w], ww, where your lips round.

  • But it's a V, vv, where the bottom lip comes up and makes contact with the top teeth. Vv,

  • vv, ve-. Then we have the EH as in BED vowel. The jaw needs to drop for that. Ve-, ve-.

  • Next we have the R consonant. That can be tough. And in this word a lot of people will

  • want to flap the R, where the front part of the tongue bounces off the roof of the mouth.

  • We do not want this position. We want this position, where the middle part of the tongue

  • stretches up and touches the roof of the mouth, about here. Ver-. The front part of the tongue

  • doesn't touch anything, and you should be able to hold out that sound. Very. And finally,

  • the EE as in SHE vowel, unstressed, to finish the word. Very, very. I'm very sorry.

  • wait to watch it.
