Jennifer from Tarle speech with your  two for Tuesday homophone lesson.

We have two words that are  pronounced exactly the same way.  

Different spellings and different meanings.

We have 

bridle which are the reigns of a harness and bridal pertaining to a bride

Two syllables bry dull

Let's start with bry. To say the br combination  you're going to have your lips closed for that b  

sound. Get your tongue in the spot for that r  sound. Back of your tongue needs to be pulled  

way high up, tip of your tongue is  either pointed down or flipped back,  

it is not touching your teeth. So that's  where your tongue is going to be for your r  

er. Okay you ready for that? Now get your  tongue in that position and close your lips.  

So then when you say that b as you open  your lips your tongue is already going  

to be in the spot for that r. So let's try it  again. Get your tongue in the spot for the r,  

close your lips for the b,  and then put it all together.

Then you're going to move to the long i and to  do this open wide, tip of the tongue is low,  

back of the tongue is pulled up high again.  And then move to a smile i. As you move to  

that smile the tongue will move from low  in the mouth to high and flat bry bry bry.

Now for the dull. Touch the tip of your tongue to  the back of your top front teeth for that d sound.  

Then you are going to move to that short uh. And  then to the l by moving the tip of the tongue  

from behind the top teeth for the d, down into  the middle of the mouth, and just a relaxed  

posture, tip of your tongue is just in the middle  of your mouth, and all relaxed, and then you're  

going to touch the tip of your tongue again to the  back of those top front teeth for that l sound.  

To be really specific it's on your alveolar  ridge which is where your gums meet the teeth.

It's not bride all it's bride dul.  So you're just going to have your  

mouth kind of in the same spot um for that  d, and then the uh, and then the l. Your  

lips aren't moving a whole lot. Your tongue  is doing all of the work. dull dull dull.

Let's put it all together bry dull bry dull bridal bridal bridal

And now for a sentence:

The bride caught her bridal  veil in the horse's bridle.

Give it a try I know people  will notice the difference!
