loud with me if there's anything unusual

or especially difficult about the

pronunciation we'll talk about it

let's get started the steering wheel

steering wheel steering is 2 syllables

the ing ending is always unstressed it

has an R in it which can be a tricky

sound make sure you hold it out steering

if you can't stating that then you're

making it with the wrong part of the

tongue steering wheel steering wheel the

tongue tip should be pulled back and up

a little bit so it's not touching

anything wheel WH words like wheel can

be pronounced or what without the before

I think it's easier just to use the W

sound wheel wheel steering wheel say

that with me steering wheel steering

gearshift we have a p4 Park R for

reverse and for neutral and D for Drive

gear shift gear shift gear ear that's

the same combination as steer ear gear
