today that are homophones again we have slay  which means to kill um or to amuse or impress  

and sleigh which is a sled for  passengers pulled by horses or  

reindeer so let's take a look  at these words we have sleigh  

and slay so to say these words correctly  we only have to focus on three sounds today

so we're going to start with that s sound to do  this the tip of your tongue is either pointed down  

or right behind the top front teeth that is  not touching and the air is going to continue  

to move out of your mouth next  touch the tip of your tongue to  

the back of your top front teeth for that l sound

you can see i'm keeping my lips in about the  same position as i do this doing that will help  

you avoid adding an extra vowel between those two  sounds if you are a spanish speaker and some other  

speakers from different other language backgrounds  do this be sure to not add an extra sound before  

the s it is not eslay it's just slay and then  we're going to end with that long a we're going  

to do that by opening the mouth wide and then  moving a smile and that will help your tongue  

shift from the bottom of the mouth nice to the top  and nice and flat so let's put that all together  

lay slay slay slay slay slay and now for a  sentence santa will slay and impress in his new  

shiny sleigh and i hope that he comes to visit you  and brings you everything that you're wishing for
