two spellings and two meanings with only one pronunciation it's a great way to

improve your pronunciation with lots of words quickly our words today are ate

the past of to eat and eight the number this is a really easy one today we have

lots of letters but only two sounds both of these words are pronounced with the

long a a and to do that you can see I'm opening my mouth and a nice wide circle

a and then I'm moving to a smile when I open my mouth wide for that first

part of the vowel my tongue is going to be low the tip of my tongue will be low

in the mouth and the back is going to be pulled up and then when I move to the

smile my tongue is gonna move along with my mouth as it closes and it's going to

be high and flat in my mouth a a and then simply touch the tip of your tongue

to the back of your top front teeth for the t-888 so ate and ate lots of letters

again just to sounds ready for your sentence
