Two words that are pronounced exactly the same way  with different spellings and different meanings.

So we have: parish a religious district  

typically in christianity and perish to ruin or die

So to say these words correctly two beats pair ish

Let's start with pair, syllable one, to say  this you're going to start with the p sound  

just let your lips press together  and then open and the air puffs out.

Move to the air vowel to do this you're  going to open your mouth in a wide  

circle tip of your tongue is really low back  of the tongue is pulled up. You are going to  

close your mouth to square tense lips. The tip of  your tongue can either stay in the same pot spot  

pointing down or it can flip back it's  up to you and personal preference.

air air

I personally keep the tip of my tongue in  the same spot for that whole air vowel.

pair

Then we're going to end with ish. To do  this your mouth is slightly open relaxed  

lips and your tongue is behind your top front  teeth. Then pucker your lips for the shh

ish ish ish

Let's put it all together

pair ish pair-ish perish parish 

perish parish perish perish

And now for a sentence: 

The parish priest will visit the congregation and  quickly deliver the food so it will not perish.

Give it a try people are going  to notice the difference!
