question is how do I say the word fire fired and fighter let's go ahead and

take a look so for word number one let's go ahead and jump right in

fire lots of confusion with these R movement vowels as I call them and what

they are is essentially it's one vowel paired with the er sound and we say that

vowel so quickly and so connected in English that it becomes a brand-new

sound so for here we're gonna start with the F sound fff make this sound by gently

bottom biting either the inside or the outside of your bottom lip and keep

the air moving out of your mouth do not close your lips or that will sound like

a p instead of a f keep the air moving out next move to that ire sound ire it's

like we're saying the word I and then adding an ER ire

your tongue is way low in the bottom of your mouth I it moves all the way up to

the top of your mouth but it's not touching the roof of your mouth and then

we're gonna move it again I er your gonna move that tongue there the tip of your

tongue down for your R or pull back for your R which ever you prefer I er

I er okay fire fire fire now for fired just gonna end that word

with a D sound I have a whole class on this so you can check out how to

pronounce Ed endings I'll put a link below and then lastly what you're going

to do is think about the word fighter do not get confused with the spelling when

you see I G H we're just gonna say I just that I sound like you're saying eye

or I meaning me so again we're gonna start

with the F and then just add that I fi and then we're gonna end with a der yes

a der not a T in American English the reason is we're using the flap T rule

here I also have a class on that you can check the link below and get more

information on that so for the D touch the tip of your tongue to the back of

your top front teeth make sure your voice is on and vibrating alright so

let's try all of those words again fire fired fighter
