  • and I’ll give you the IPA for each word.

  • Well talk about the syllable stress of multi-syllable words,

  • tricky sounds, or other noteworthy pronunciations, if any, and practice each word slowly.

  • I encourage you to practice out loud with this video. Let’s get started!

  • Plate. Plate. Plaaate.

  • Notice I pronounced this with a Stop T. Plate.

  • Ending T’s are often pronounced this way when they end a sentence or a thought.

  • Bowl

  • Booowwl

  • Fork.

  • Fooorrrrkk.

  • Here we have AW as in LAW vowel followed by the R consonant.

  • In this case, the tongue is further back and the lips round more than when the AW vowel is not followed by R.

  • Fooorrrk. Fork.

  • Knife

  • Kniiiiiife.

  • Notice, the K is silent.

  • Spoon

  • Spooooooon.

  • This has the OO vowel. Don’t start with your lips in a tight circle, spooo--

  • but let them be relaxed and circle in. Spooooon. Spoon. Spoon.
