speech and language with your

pronunciation question

today's question is how do i say the

word ruin it's a very short little word

only four letters R U

I N four letters but we're going to

have two beats or two syllables in this

word so if we look at the syllables we

have Roo and then in roo is going to be

our long loud and the highest syllable

because this is our stressed syllable

and in is going to be very nice and short

and a little quieter and a little lower

in pitch so to say

roo you're going to start by saying an

R your lips might be a little more

rounded than usual for your typical R

because we have this very rounded oo

sound right after it

roo and then we're going to move to that

short in and your tongue is going to be

really high in your mouth for this ih

sound and then you're going to touch

your teeth the back of your top front

your tongue to the back of your top

front teeth for the n sound in roo in

ruin ruin ruin let's give that a try
