are words that are spelled the same but have  different meanings and different pronunciation.

Our words today are a very common request and are  often mispronounced leading to some confusion for  

my students. And the word is a record: a list and record: to write down.

General rule of thumb when we have  heteronyms that are a noun and a  

verb we're going to stress syllable  number one in the noun and syllable  

number two in the verb. That is the case  here so we have record record record.

We have a few um differences here, so  when you stress a syllable, it is louder,  

the vowel is longer, and it is higher in  Pitch. The opposite is true for the other  

syllables that are unstressed  they're softer, lower in pitch,  

and have a shorter vowel. We're seeing all of  that here in this lesson. So I'm loving this. Okay  

so let's start with the r because that's the same  in both words. To say the r think about having  

Square tens lips do not touch your teeth with your  tongue tip of the tongue is down or flipped back.

For the re you're going to open your  mouth. Mouth is going to be relaxed.  

You're going to see the tip of your  tongue just between the top and the  

bottom teeth. And it's relatively just  flat in the middle of the mouth. eh.

To say the long e in re your mouth is  going to be more closed. It's going to  

be smiling lips and because your mouth  is more closed. The tongue is going to  

be higher and flatter in the mouth  so we have reh and then re reh re

record record

Now the K is the same. Tip of the tongue is  down, back of the tongue is pulled high up.  

D is the same in these endings. D. Touch the  tip of the tongue to the spot where our teeth  

meets the skin on the roof of your mouth,  air puffs out, voice box is on and moving.  

For the vowel, slight difference,  we have the ER here. That is a  

static vowel which means your lips are  just going to say in the same spot ER. 

or Our mouth is moving from that o, or, to that  

ER which is it's from puckered to square tense  lips. Your tongue is going to move from flat,  

either to point it down or flipped back  for that or. So we have ER or ER or

And let's put this all together: record record 

record record

Stress syllable number one make it louder,  longer, higher:record record record

Stress syllable number two for  the verb record record record

record record record record

And now for a sentence: Please record all of the  

names in your record. Please record  all of the names in your record.

Give it a try people will notice the  difference. Please share it with your friends,
