Hello class! It's another day to learn how to pronounce correctly. I feel like an oral English teacher. Dah kinda thing. Lol.
Today you'll discover that there are damsels and there are damsels. You may spot the difference. *grins*
Word of the Day: damsel
Meaning: a young woman who is not married
Pronunciation: Most times, we tend to pronounce the "s" as "s". It is not correct. It is to be pronounced as "z"
Wrong = \ˈdam-səl\
Right = \ˈdam-zəl\
Right = \ˈdam-zəl\
Listen below:
So ladies, correct him the next time he calls you a damsel with the 's' pronounced as 's'. You can even catwalk away after the correction. Yes, you have my support because it is not a compliment!
Any question? Am I good teacher? Was it an easy lesson? Leave a comment.
Class dismissed. We'll continue in two weeks time. Thank you.
