  • Hi! Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for  Tuesday. Two words spelled differently, different  

  • meanings, but pronounced exactly the same wayYes, these words are pronounced the same way.

  • We have cruise a sailing ship  and crews a group of workers.  

  • So to say these words correctly, let's start  with that k sound. Tip of the tongue is down,  

  • back of the tongue is pulled high up, air puffs  out, then you're going to move to that r sound by  

  • moving your lips to a square tense shape. For me  the tip of my tongue stays down, and the back of  

  • my tongue stays up, for others of you, the tip of  your tongue will flip back, and that is okay too,  

  • just as long as you do not touch the tip of  the tongue to the teeth for that r sound.

  • Next we're going to move to the ew and to do that  

  • pucker. As you pucker your tongue is  just flat in the middle of your mouth.

  • And then end with the z z. To do this, the tip  of your tongue is behind the top front teeth  

  • or it's pointed down towards  the bottom of the mouth.  

  • Air is moving out of your nose and your  voice box is on vibrating and moving. Z

  • Let's put it all together: cruise cruise cruise 

  • crews crews crews cruise crews

  • And now for a sentence:

  • The work crews took a cruise.
