are pronounced exactly the same way. They just  have different spellings and different meanings.

Our words today are: 

lode - which is a rich source  or a vein of metal ore and 

load - heavy or bulky a lot of ore, to charge with  ammunition, or to put into or onto um a vessel

To say these words correctly, we have three  sounds. Start with that l. Tip of the tongue  

touches the back of the top  front teeth where the teeth  

meet the roof of the mouth. Air moves  out of the mouth for that sound.

Next we're going to move to the o. To do that  open in a wide oval tip of the tongue is down  

back of the tongue is pulled nice and high up.  And then move to a pucker. As you move to a pucker  

your tongue is just going to go along for the ride  and it will end flat in the middle of your mouth.

And then touch the tip of your tongue to the back  of your top front teeth and pull it down for the  

d, as the air puffs out of your mouth for  that d sound. Your voice box is on and moving.

Let's put it all together

load load load lode lode lode

And now for a sentence: The crew needs extra time to load the lode of ore.
