today's question is how do i pronounce railroad which is a track for trains or

a system of trains let's take a look

at these words my tip for you today is to think of these

as two separate words and try to put a slight pause

between the syllables that is going to make this so much easier

to say so it's okay to say i like the rail road instead of i like the

railroad so you can link those together super

quickly like i just did and that's fine but i do think if this word is difficult

for you really think about adding that super slight pause in there and that's

really going to help you pronounce this word so let's start with

syllable number one rail to say this

square tense lips for that r the tongue is either going to be pointed down or

flipped back just do not touch your teeth then move to the long

a and to do that you're going to open and then smile

and then touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top

front teeth rail

rail

rail rail rail then for road again start with that

r move to that o by puckering and then touch the tip of the

tongue to the back of the top front teeth for that d and allow the air to

puff out your voice box is going to be on and

moving for that d sound road

road road road let's put that all together rail

road rail road railroad

railroad railroad railroad railroad railroad

and now for a sentence i love hearing trains pass by on the railroad tracks

give it a try people are going to notice the difference if you found this helpful
