I have a very popular request today how do I pronounce the word restaurant or a

place where you go out to eat the word has many many letters full disclosure I

had to re-record this video because on the last one I'd spell the word

incorrectly so I always use that spellcheck I'm going to give you several

options for how to pronounce this word let's start with syllable number one the

res to do this you're thinking about square tense lips for that r tip of the

tongue is down or flipped back do not touch your teeth or do not let the tip of that

tongue move rrr then you're going to move to that short eh sound

relax your lips and your tongue is going to be about here in your mouth re and then

move that s ssss to do this tip of your tongue is either down or or behind the

top front teeth just not touching the teeth and the air keeps moving out of

the mouth res res now syllable number two we're

going to start every option for syllable number two with the t sound touch the tip

of the tongue to the back of the top front teeth and then just let that air

puff out now you have two choices number one you can say ta I think

that's easiest because basically your mouth is just relaxed ta that's it if

you want you can say tur and then you have to do that r sound you know the

drill square tense lips tip of the tongue

down or flip back so you have resta or rester resta rester then we're

going to end with a few choices here so if you say the uh for your middle

syllable you have to say the r next ok for some people it's easier to

start a syllable with the R sound so if that's the case you can choose one of

these options alright so then we're going to do the R

er again square tens let's move to the oh

open wide in an oval shape the tongue is low in the front and high in the back

then touch the teeth for the nnn while the air moves out of your nose and

then t let the air puff out for that t resta ront restaurant restaurant

restaurant or you can just say the ont restaurant restaurant restaurant

restaurant and I also have some people I made a mistake here let me fix this if

you don't want to say that oh sound you can actually just say a short uh rest uh

runt or Ruster unt okay so resta runt restaurant let me give you all of your

options restaurant restaurant restaurant or restaurant okay so I say restaurant

or restaurant restaurant restaurant we are looking forward to going out to eat

at the restaurant give it a try I know people are going to notice the
