our words today are collision  which is a crash or a conflict and  

coalition and alliance let's  take a look at these words

they look rather similar so what's the difference  collision is going to have three beats or three  

syllables and coalition is going to have  four beats or four syllables so let's break  

these down for collision we're going to start  with the syllable and to do this the tongue  

tip is down back of the tongue is pulled up for  the and then you're just going to add that short  

uh sound that schwa sound next we're going to  move to the lip and to do this touch the tip of  

the tongue to the back of the top front teeth and  then again open the mouth it's going to be relaxed  

and the tip of the tongue is going  to be just below the top front teeth

you can kind of see it popping down a little  bit there and then we're going to end with  

jean to do this round your lips  for that sound and your voice box  

is on and then we're going to end with the un  to do this again unstressed uh sound and then  

touch the tip of the tongue to the  back of the top front teeth for the end

collision collision for coalition  we are going to start with  

co start with the k and then round the  lips to move to that long o sound ko ko ko

add the schwa the short uh syllable  very relaxed mouth and then again the li  

touch the teeth for the l pull it down as your  lips are relaxed so your mouth is relaxed you can  

have a nice short relaxed ih sound and then end  this time with a shun it sounds very similar to  

zhun and looks very similar but what's the  difference the difference is my voice box is off  

for the sh sound so we have sh versus zh so let's  put this all together ko uh li shun ko uh li shun

coalition coalition coalition one more thing  to keep in mind here is that we are going to  

stress the li syllable and each of these  words that means it's going to be louder  

longer and higher than the others which are going  to be shorter softer and lower in pitch so let's  

try those two words again coalition coalition  coalition collision collision collision collision  

coalition coalition collision collision coalition  and now for a sentence the coalition vehicles were  

involved in a collision the coalition vehicles  were involved in a collision give it a try people  

are going to notice the difference we'd love a  like a share and a subscribe you can check out
