Listen

Press record, say "chamomile" once or twice at normal speed, then stop. You will see which syllables matched and what to change.

## Chamomile syllables

Chamomile has 3 syllables: KA-muh-meyel.

1. KA kæ
2. muh mə
3. meyel maɪl

KAM-uh-mile, three syllables, hard k at the start. The final syllable rhymes with "mile", though you will also hear "-meel", which is fine.

## Sounds to watch

### The l sound

Touch the tongue tip to the ridge behind your top teeth. At the end of a syllable the l is darker and the back of the tongue rises.

### Weak syllables

The unstressed syllables use a short, relaxed uh (schwa). Rushing through them lightly is correct; giving them a full vowel sounds unnatural.

### The a in cat

Open the jaw wider than for eh and spread the lips slightly. The a in cat is a distinct vowel, not eh or ah.
