Two for Tuesday✌️Learn English HOMOPHONE Pronunciation
Transcript:
Hello Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday homophone lesson. Homophones are words that are pronounced exactly the same way. Yes exactly the same way. We just have different spellings and different meanings.
We have three words today – two common words, one word that I just learned, I didn’t even know this was a word.
So we have
sensor which means to suppress or a person who decides what is unacceptable
censor a device that detects or measures things and a
senser, I didn’t know this, which is a container in which incense is burned – I didn’t know that um, so I think that’s very interesting.
So to say these words correctly we have two syllables or two beats. We’re going to start with sen and to do this your tongue is going to be behind your top teeth or just pointing down to the bottom of your mouth. It’s not touching for that s. Air is going to continue out of your mouth.
Next move to that short e sound. To do this you should just be able to see the tip of your tongue between your top and your bottom teeth for that e sound. Then touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front teeth. Where the skin meets the teeth at the roof of the mouth for that n – air is going to move out of your nose. Sen sen
Now for sir. You’re going to start with that s again and then end with the ER. Square tense lips, tip of the tongue is down, back of the tongue is pulled way high up. You can also flip the tip of the tongue back if that works better for you. Just make sure that you don’t touch your teeth and that your tongue does not move for that ER. Let’s put that syllable number two together sir sir.
Sen Zer sensor censor senser sensor censor
And now for a sentence:
The censor used a sensor to measure the senser’s temperature.
The censor used a sensor to measure the senser’s temperature.
Give it a try I know people are going to notice the difference.
