Today's question can be a very embarrassing  mistake if you pronounce this word incorrectly,  

and the word that we are going to talk about today  is fact - and that means information or evidence. 

I'm sorry i just hit my light . Um so let's take a look at that  

word we have fact f a c t. 

So we are going, let's talk about this word  first, and then I'll give you the mistake  

in a little bit, so stay tuned! So to say this word correctly,  

we're going to start with the f sound ffff And to do this you are going to let the air  

move out of your mouth continuously, and you are  going to either gently bite the inside, or the  

outside of your bottom teeth, it's not really  a true bite, it's like your teeth are touching,  

and the air is going to continue to move out, So that means your lips need to be open.

Then here's the important sound here we  are going to move to that open ah sound. 

It's a very american sound, we're going to  open our mouth very wide, in a circle, ah,  

and when you do that, the tip of my tongue is  very low in my mouth, and the back of my tongue is  

pulled up high towards the roof of my mouth - ah. Next keep your tongue in relatively the same  

position, and your mouth will  close a little bit for the k,  

and then bring the tip of the tongue from the  bottom of the mouth to the top of the mouth  

behind the top front teeth, and you're going to  say that t sound. Let's put it all together fact

fact fact fact fact fact

Now the fact of the matter is if you  say this word incorrectly it could  

sound like you are saying [ __ ] um which is  a very bad situation, and it can also mean  

sexual intercourse, it tends to be um, a word  that we wouldn't use maybe at work so much,  

or um in polite conversation, so  you want to avoid that mistake.

So let's give this word  one more try fact fact fact 

So give it a try I know people are  going to notice the difference!
