lesson today how do I pronounce the word itinerary this word is going to focus on

a few things that schwa syllable the short uh sound and those r vowels that

are so confusing with the spelling that that always leads to problems so let's

go ahead and take a look at this word I tried to teach this in a very simple way

with words so to say itinerary you're going to say I tin a rare e I tin a rare

e itinerary so to break this down a little bit more oops my schwa sound is

in the wrong spot what you are going to do is think about saying eye or I open

your mouth wide and move to smiling lips for that I next move to tin touch the

tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth with it slightly down

and it's still behind those top front teeth lips are relaxed for that short ih

sound and then touch the teeth again for the end while the air moves out of your

nose tin I tin next add the short uh that's the schwa sound it's made with a

very relaxed mouth and it's very short as a tip to make it sound a little more

natural make sure you link it to the syllable

tin and say tina tina you want that to be together i tina next move to rare and

to do this start with your R sound your lips are rounded the tip of your tongue

is either pointed down or flipped back do not touch your teeth and do not let

your tongue move r is static and does not trill or tap in English and then

open your mouth for the air you're going to open that in a nice wide circle and

then add that er and to do that you are going to again point

the tip of the tongue down or flip it back whichever one works for you and

make sure that er sound is nice and strong and long air rare rare I tina

rare and then end with an e by smiling because you're so glad this word is over

I tina itinerare itinerary itinerary and let me get my

sentence the itinerary for the flight was updated the itinerary for the flight

was updated give it a try I know people are going to notice the difference if
