Today's question is how do I pronounce the words quite meaning to the utmost degree and

quiet meaning not a lot of noise so to say the

words quite and quiet the big difference is one beat for the word quite one

syllable and quiet two beats or two syllables the confusion

the spelling really confuses a lot of people here because though it's the same

letters they're just in a different order for the words so let's start with

a word quite how do we save this kW what you're going to do here is a tip round

your lips and be ready for the W sound as you get your tongue in the spot for

the K so I'm gonna round my lips and think about saying a K sound to do that

the tip of your tongue is low in the bottom of your mouth and the back of

your tongue is pulled towards the roof of your mouth k k k

and then I was gonna round my lips and then I'm gonna pull my lips back and

retract them while I open my mouth a bit for that w kw kw kw next I'm gonna add an

I this is a movement vowel you move from an open mouth to a smile and then

end with a T by touching the tip of your tongue to the back of the top front

teeth quite quite quite next for quiet again we're going to start with qui and

then I think it's easiest just to think about then ending with the word it that

we all know how to say very short I relaxed mouth and then end with that T

it it it if you want to say ut or if it sounds like up to you go ahead and say

it same idea here relaxed short vowel so

you can say quiet quiet or quiet quiet so just think short vowel don't

overthink it at the end there just think short relaxed vowel in that second

unstressed syllable so we have quiet quiet quiet

quite quite quite quiet quiet quiet and let's try it in a sentence that room is

quite quiet give it a try I know people are going to know is the difference if
