BlogPost #2- How Do You Say Your Name?

1)   Soledad
      /so lə dɒ /

2) The first syllable in my name has an onset of a voiceless alveolar fricative and a back mid vowel, "so." The second syllable in my name has an onset of a voiced alveolar liquid with a central, mid non-accented vowel,  "lə." Finally, the last syllable of my name has an onset of a voiced alveolar stops with a back, low vowel, "dɒ."

3) To pronounce my name correctly you would have to start by putting the front of your tongue on the alveolar bridge and make an "s" sound follwed by a short "o" sound. Then you would have to once again put the front of your tongue on the alveolar bridge and make an "l" sound followed by an "eh" sound. Finally you would have to once again place the front of your tongue on the alveolar bridge and make a "d" sound followed by an "ah" sound. When you put it together you should get something that sounds like this "so-LEH-dah."
