question is how do I pronounce the word virus or an infection

you will hear virus related to an illness and you might hear that with the

flu or with the corona virus that we're hearing a lot about in the news or you

can also use a virus to talk about a computer infection so let's go ahead and

learn how to pronounce this word virus super easy to pronounce this word we're

going to look at two syllables for this word vie Russ virus and this is

technically the schwa but I'm writing it as Russ the boy's name because it might

be a little easier to remember so let's start with the vie this first sound in

the word is key you want to make sure that you say the V sound vvv and to do this

you're going to gently bite the inside or the outside of your bottom lip while

the air keeps moving out and your voice box box is on vvvv I do not want you to

say wwww and that would happen if you rounded your lips too much so your lips

are a little bit pulled back and again you're gently biting the outside or

inside of your bottom lip and the air is moving out vvv next we're going to move to

the I the long I sound do this you're going to open your mouth and then close

into a smile vie then we're going to end with Russ and to do this you start with

that are if you've watched my videos before you know this you're either going

to point your tongue tip down to the bottom of your mouth or flip it back

just do not touch your teeth and do not let the tip of your tongue move rrrr your

lips should be in a square tense shape and then we're going to relax the mouth

for the uh and then end with that s ssss and to do that the tip of your tongue is

either pointing down or pulled back away from the teeth again no touch

the teeth and the air is going to move out of your mouth virus virus virus

virus now I am going to talk about how do you say the word corona we're going

to just briefly touch on this because really the lesson today is about the

word virus but if you are curious think of three syllables short syllables short

syllable the long syllable here kah Rhona corona corona corona and because

this would technically be a compound noun you're going to make sure you

stress word 1 corona that word is going to be louder longer and higher than

virus which will be softer shorter and lower in pitch and those two words are

going to link together coronavirus corona virus corona virus so i hope

during this cold and flu season you do not get a virus so give it a try I know

people are going to notice the difference
