  • Hey there! Jennifer from Tarle  speech. We have two words today.  

  • We have secret not known or seen by others  and sacred connected to god or religion.

  • So we have secret and sacred. Okay! I wrote the  first part as real words. A lot of people like  

  • that. It makes it so much easier to remember. We  are going to start with SEE and to do this tip  

  • of the tongue is down for that s. It can also  be behind the top front teeth. Air moves out  

  • and then smile nice high and flat tongue  for the e. See See like I see you.  

  • Say I say a lot of things. Yes I talk forliving and to say that a in say you're going  

  • to open your mouth wide, tip of the tongue  is low, back of the tongue is pulled up,  

  • and then your tongue moves to flat  as your mouth closes. A A A A A

  • Say. See. Say.

  • Now let's look at the ending part of these  words. We're going to start with that k  

  • r combination, that blend. There's no vowel  between these two sounds. So your tongue is  

  • low in the front, high in the back for  the k, and then for the r, er, it just  

  • moves a little bit in my mouth K ER as I round  my lips into that square tense shape. So KR KR KR

  • So my tongue is really in the same  spot. Tip of the tongue is low  

  • back of the tongue is pulled high up. I don't  really move my tongue with the exception of when  

  • my mouth closes. There isn't as much space, so  my tongue has to move a little bit as my mouth  

  • moves to that square tense shape. So  let's look at that one more time. KR KR KR

  • Now let's do krud first for that short u sound uh  and then end with the d - d. Touch the tip of your  

  • tongue to the back of your top front teethVoice box is on and moving. krud krud krud

  • Now for krit for that short ih sound, your tongue  is going to be just behind your top front teeth.  

  • Your mouth is relaxed and your tongue is slightly  relaxed in your mouth even though it is high.  

  • And then you're going to end with that t - t.  Touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your  

  • top front teeth and air just puffs out. Some  people, if you watch my videos you know this,  

  • this short i sound and the short u sound  are so similar in unstressed syllables  

  • that you might be hearing see krut and that's okay  because the key here is - is that is an unstressed  

  • vowel in that syllable. And when we have those  unstressed vowels oftentimes people will vary  

  • whether they're saying the short ih, eh, or uh Because  they're all super short and a little more relaxed.

  • All right, let's put these together. I'm  going to do the krit for you. Okay see krit  

  • see krit secret secret secret. You can  also say secret or secret. Totally fine.  

  • And then say krud say krud sacred sacred sacred 

  • secret sacred secret sacred

  • And now for a sentence

  • There are many times in history where sacred  rituals had to be performed in secret.

  • Give it a try people are going to  notice the difference. If you found  

  • this helpful please give us a like  and share us with your friends.If
