little long because i've had a lot of requests our word today is ventilator

and i have a great tip for you i think this is going to make everyone's life a

little easier here's our word ventilator i'm gonna have four syllables spelling

is slightly confusing because we're changing a lot of the sounds up here so

we're going to start with ven and to do this we start with the vvv ound your

voice boxes on your mouth is slightly open you can be biting the inside or the

outside of the bottom lip just keep that air moving out do not close your lips or

it'll sound like a b then we're gonna move to that sound the tip of your

tongue is between your top and your bottom teeth you can see it and then

we're going to move to that end n nnn touch the tip of the tongue to the back

of your top front teeth and the air moves out of your nose then ven we're

going to link the uh that schwa syllable we've talked about this when my students

see that i in the middle of the word they often say e and oftentimes we do

use that schwa sound the uh sound relaxed lips relaxed tongue very very very short

and then we're going to move to lay just like the word it's the long a here start

with the L touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth and

open your mouth wide and then move to a smile for that a lay lay and then we're

gonna end with the der yes we're not going to say that t we're going to say

a fast D d to do this touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front

teeth voice boxes on and then end with that er for those of you that struggle

with the er sound at the end of the word think square tense lips not

puckered and not relaxed you want them square intense a the tip of your tongue

will be pointed down or flipped back whichever one works for you let's put it

all together ven uh lay der Venna later Venna later ventilator ventilator

ventilator you can also think of this as the word later like la ter like see you

later and that is how we pronounce that as well so one more time

ventilator ventilator ventilator and now in a sentence the patient required a

ventilator for respiration so give it a try
