Today I'm going to go over vocabulary for World Cup soccer.  The word 'world' can be pretty hard as it's got both an R and an L sound in it.  The word 'world' begins with the W sound [], where the lips form a tight circle there.  It is followed by the 'ur' as in 'her' vowel [] and the R consonant [].  The 'ur' as in 'her' vowel is always followed by the R consonant sound and it's really just one sound:  rr, rr, wrr.  To make this R sound, the tongue comes up and it also pulls back a little bit.  And it presses against the inside of the top teeth on both sides -- rr -- which means that the front of the tongue is then left forward and hanging, but not touching anything within the mouth.  Wor.  Next is the dark L sound.  Wor-l.  Where you make the uh sound as the tongue moves.  The top then touches behind the top teeth,  Uhl, uhl.  Worl-, worl-d.  And you bring the tongue down, releasing to make the D sound. World, world.

Cup.  Cup begins with the K consonant sound, kk, where the tongue has lifted up in the back of the throat, kk, and pulled away to release air.  Kk.  Uh, the 'uh' as in 'butter' sound [], a very relaxed position.  Cu-p.  And finally the P sound, where the lips come together and then lightly release some air.  World Cup.

Soccer.  Soccer begins with ss, where you simply let air pass through your teeth.  So-.  It then has the 'ah' as in 'father' sound [].  Again, a very relaxed vowel, ah, where the jaw drops quite a bit.  So-, soc-.  Then again the K consonant sound where the tongue comes up in the back and releases. Socc-er.  The R sound.  The schwa and the R sound together.  Rr.  The mouth is somewhat closed and rounded for this sound.  It is unaccented.  Soccer.

In soccer, one tries to score a goal.  Goal begins with the G consonant sound, which is made the same way as the K:  the back of the tongue reaches up and touches the back of the throat, gg, and releases.  Only here, you're making a sound, uh, gg, rather than just air with the K sound.  Gg.  Oh, the 'oh' as in 'no' diphthong [].  Go-al.  And the dark L sound, where you make an uh sound as your tongue moves.  The tip of the tongue then ends here.  Goal.  Goal.

Draw, when there is not a win or a loss.  Draw begins with the D consonant sound, dd, dd, where the tongue is raised here, dd, and then pulls down.  It then has the R consonant sound, again where the tongue kind of pulls up and back.  Dr - aw.  Then the 'aw' as in 'law' sound [], where the tongue tip is forward and the cheeks come in a little bit:  aw, aw.  Draw.

I actually don't know that much about soccer I admit, and I had to ask someone what words I should use in this video.  And he said you can't make a video about soccer without going over the words penalty kick and corner kick.  So, penalty.  Penalty begins with the pp consonant sound followed by the 'eh' as in 'bed' sound [].  Pe-n.  You'll then see the tongue move into position for the N.  Penal.  The dark L, ull. T, the T consonant sound, tt, followed by the 'ee' as in 'she' vowel [].  Penalty.  And you'll notice the stress is on the first syllable.  Penalty.  It can also be pronounced as a D here, the T can, penalty, penalty.  You will hear that.  Penalty, penalty.  Kick.  Kick begins with the K consonant sound and it has the 'ih' as in 'sit' sound [], ki-, and then again the K consonant sound.  Kick.  Penalty kick.

Corner kick.  It begins with the K consonant sound.  And the vowel sound here is written with the 'aw' as in 'law' symbol, but I find that it's actually a little more rounded than normal for that .  Co-.  So your lips will round and your tongue is touching behind the bottom front teeth, pushing a little forward, cor-.  The R consonant sound.  Cor-, cor-ner.  The N consonant sound.  -ner.  Followed again by the R sound.  -Ner, -ner.  Corner.  Again the stress here is on the first syllable, corner, corner, corner kick.

Offsides.  I don't even know what this means, but I know that you don't want to do it.  Off.  It begins with the 'aw' as in 'law' vowel where the cheeks come in a little bit, the lips are a little rounded.  O-, off.  The bottom lip moves up an touches the top teeth.  Ff.  Let air pass through that to make that sound.  Off, off.  Sides begins with the S consonant sound, ss.  It's followed by the 'ai' as in 'buy' diphthong [], si-, si-d.  The tongue then moves up into position for the D, dd, dd, dz.  When then goes straight into the Z sound, shaped just like the S only you make noise with the vocal cords.  Sides, sides, offsides.

Stoppage time.  Now, I do know what this means.  It's when you thought the game was over but it's not yet, you've still got a few more minutes.  It begins with the S consonant sound, ss, ss, tt.  Which goes directly into the T consonant sound, st-, st-.  Both of these are unvoiced, so you're not making any sound with your vocal cords, just letting air pass through your mouth, st-st-ah.  The 'ah' as in 'father' vowel [] with the jaw drop.  Sto-, stop. The P consonant sound.  The lips have to come together for that.  Stoppage, stoppage.  The 'ih' as in 'sit' vowel sound followed by the 'jj' as in 'jar' consonant [].  Stoppage.  The stress is on the first syllable.  Stoppage time.  Time begins with the T consonant sound followed by the 'ai' as in 'buy' diphthong.  Ti- ti-m.  And finally, the lips come together, mm, mm, and you hum to make that M sound.  Stoppage time.

And finally, red card and yellow card.  Red begins with the R consonant sound, rr, and since it's at the beginning of the word, rr, the lips are in a pretty tight circle there.  Tongue is still up in this R position.  Rr, rr. Eh, the 'eh' as in 'bed' vowel [] sound.  Re-d.  Tongue moves up to make the D, red. Card.  Begins with the K consonant sound.  Ca-, opens into the 'ah' as in 'father' sound.  Ca-rr.  Again we have the R sound.  The tongue pulls up and back.  Car-dd.  And the tongue reaches up and touches just behind the top teeth on the roof of the mouth for the D sound.  Card.  Red card.

Yellow card.  It begins with the Y consonant sound []. Y, y.  Again the 'eh' as in 'bed' sound, ye-, yel-, tongue moves up into position for the L.  Yell-ow.  And it opens into the 'oh' as in 'no' diphthong. Yellow.  Yellow card.  That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.
