Learn to Pronounce CLAWS 🦞 CLAUSE 📄 CLAUS 🎅 American English Homophone Christmas Lesson #learnenglish

Hello, it is Jennifer from Tarle speech with your Christmas homophone lesson. We have three words today. I love this one. Claws, which are sharp nails, typically on animals. Claws, an article in a contract or a grammatical structure. And claws, the big guy himself, Santa Claus. So let's go ahead and take a look at our words. We have claws, claws, and claws. Fairly easy lesson. What you're going to do is you're going to start with the K sound. Your tongue is going to be low in your mouth for this sound and the back of your tongue is going to be pulled up and your mouth is open. Then you are going to move to the L, kuh, by just moving your tongue from the bottom of your mouth to behind the back of your top front teeth. Try not to move your lips because sometimes that will add an extra sound in there. Kuh, kuh, then move to the open ah by opening your mouth wide and in oval. Tip of the tongue is low. Back of the tongue is pulled up and then end with the Z sound. Yes, the Z. To do this, you are going to have your tongue behind your top front teeth or pointed down. Air is going to keep moving out of your mouth. You are not touching your teeth. Voice box is on, vibrating and moving. Zzz. Put it all together. Claws, claws, claws. And now for a sentence. Santa Claus has a claws in the elves contract stating the need to keep the animals claws trimmed. So Santa Claus has a claws in the elves contract stating the need to keep his animals claws trimmed.
