How to Pronounce FOR SURE American English Pronunciation

In this American English pronunciation video,

we’re going to go over

the pronunciation of the phrase ‘for sure’.

This is part of a sentence study series,

where we look at a short common phrase,

and discuss it’s pronunciation

Saying ‘for sure’

is a very solid affirmation.

Will you be there tomorrow?

For sure.

For sure, da-DA.

The word ‘sure’

is the stressed word in this phrase,

so it’s going to be longer

than the function word ‘for’,

which will reduce.

da-DA, for sure.

We begin with the F sound,

so the bottom lip has to come up

and touch the bottom of the top front teeth.

The inside of your lips is what’s touching,

so it shouldn’t be ff, but ff.

Now we move straight into the R sound.

Forget about a vowel altogether.

So, my tongue tip was here for the F, maybe

not quite touching the teeth in this case,

but close behind.

For the R, it needs to pull way back,

pulling up towards the roof of the mouth,

with the tip not touching anything.

Even though this word is very short,

it should be a sound that we can hold out,

rrrrrrrrrrr. Fer, fer.

For sure.

We want to take the R sound

and transition directly into the SH sound.

Rrrr-shh.

To do that, we have to close our teeth,

which should have been close to each other,

but not yet closed for the R.

Rrr-shh.

Then we have to bring the flat,

top part of the tongue, in the front,

really close to the roof of the mouth

(but not touching).

The lips for the SH are flared,

but you’ll already be transitioning

into that right after the F

because the R sound is so short.

Now, to go from the SH back to the R,

reverse what you just did.

Drop the jaw a little bit,

and pull the tongue back again

so the front isn’t so close

to the roof of the mouth.

The tip shouldn’t touch anything.

Now, the voice will fall off in pitch

because it’s a stressed syllable,

and it’s the last syllable of a sentence.

For sure, for sure.

And now let’s look at the phrase

up, close and in slow motion.

在这个美式英语发音视频中,

我们将复习

“for sure”这个短语的发音。

这是一个句子学习系列的一部分

,我们看一个简短的常用短语,

并讨论它的发音

说“肯定”

是一个非常可靠的肯定。

你明天会在吗?

当然。

当然,da-DA。

“sure”

这个词是这个短语中的重读词,

所以它会

比功能词“for”长,

后者会减少。

达达,当然。

我们从 F 音开始,

所以下唇必须抬起

并接触上前牙的底部。

你的嘴唇内侧是触摸的东西,

所以它不应该是ff,而是ff。

现在我们直接进入 R 音。

完全忘记元音。

所以,我的舌尖是为了 F,

在这种情况下可能没有完全接触到牙齿,

但紧随其后。

对于R,它需要向后拉,

向上拉向嘴巴的顶部

,尖端不接触任何东西。

虽然这个词很短,

但应该是我们能坚持的声音,

rrrrrrrrrrrr。 费尔,费尔。

一定。

我们想要将 R

音直接过渡到 SH 音。

呜呜呜。

要做到这一点,我们必须闭上我们的牙齿,

这应该是彼此靠近的,

但还没有为 R.

Rrr-shh 关闭。

然后我们必须把舌头平坦的

顶部,在前面,

非常靠近嘴巴的顶部

(但不接触)。

SH 的嘴唇是张开的,

但你已经

在 F 之后过渡到那个,

因为 R 声音太短了。

现在,要从 SH 回到 R,

反转你刚才所做的。

稍微放下下巴,

然后再次将舌头向后拉,

这样前部就不会太

靠近上颚了。

尖端不应该接触任何东西。

现在,声音的音调会下降,

因为它是重读音节,

而且是句子的最后一个音节。

肯定的,肯定的。

现在让我们看一下这个

短语,近距离和慢动作。
