Two words that are spelled differently,  they have different meanings,  

but they are pronounced exactly the same way. This is for all of my IT people out there! 

We have sync meaning to synchronize um or  having the same thing in two places and 

sink um to slip below or a basin for washing  like where you wash your hands or do your dishes 

so the place to do your dishes is here and what  we do with our phones and our computers is here 

So to say these words correctly we're going  to start with that super easy s sound sssss. 

To say the sound the tip of your tongue  is either behind the top front teeth or  

pointed down it is not touching your teeth  at all, air keeps moving out of your mouth. 

Next move to that short ih sound:  this is a relaxed mouth and the tongue  

is just at the bottom of the top  teeth and it's flat in your mouth, 

and then what we're going to do is we're going  to move that tongue, the tip of the tongue, down,  

to the bottom of the mouth; and the back of the  tongue is going to pull be pulled way high up.  

Air is going to come out of your nose for this  sound and we're going to make this um sound  

that's that n g sound that you hear at the  end of many words like in running and singing.  

This ng sound is going to be really helpful  here because then your tongue is in the right  

spot for that k sound, and all you need to do  then is stop the air coming out of your nose,  

and let the air puff out of your mouth. So  this ng and the k, they have the same position  

tip of the tongue down back of the  tongue is pulled way high up. ngk ngk

You can see I'm not really moving my mouth at all.  

You might be asking is this a long e sound  no it is not it is a short i but it is longer  

than the short i that you might hear and  the word hit or sit, so it's going to be a  

little bit longer because it's influenced  by this n g sound here this ng sound. 

So let's try this all nice and slow and  then we'll go a little bit faster okay.

sync

sync

sync sync sync sync sync sync sync

And this is a little bit of a bonus if  you take that k off you have the word  

sing and some of you might need to know that word.

So let's give it a try in  a sentence: Sync your phone  

so we don't lose the pictures of the  kitchen sink that we really like.

So give it a try i know people are going to  notice the difference. If you found this helpful
