Hi! I’m Janice Petersen. You might recognise me from SBS World News. As a news reporter I must speak clearly and be very careful about how I pronounce places and names. People have even said that I’ve become a queen of pronunciation!

Some of my favourite SBS World News stories are when we show people from many different cultures in Australia celebrating special times of the year.

Some of my favourite festivals are related to light, such as Lunar New Year, celebrating the first new moon of the lunar calendar; Diwali, symbolising the victory of light over darkness; and Hannukah, also known as the festival of lights.

All three festivals are celebrated by lighting candles, lanterns, or oil lamps. They remind me of this tongue twister:

We light a new light for the Lunar New Year,

In the dark of the night, we light a new light for Diwali

For eight nights, we light a new light for Hanukkah

This tongue twister is also a great way to practice pronouncing the /l/ [le] in light and the /n/ [nnnn] in night. They sound similar, so let’s start by finding out what the difference is.

With the /l/ sound, keep your mouth slightly open and relaxed. Place the tip of your tongue against the back of your top teeth then flick it. Let’s pretend we’re singing, la la la. Okay, let’s practice:

• Light
• Low
• Line

The /n/ sound starts the same way as /l/ by placing your tongue at the top of your mouth. But this time, find the ridge behind your teeth and put the tip of your tongue flat against it.

This placement of your tongue will block the airflow out of your mouth, so that the air goes through your nose instead. It will make a nasal sound. Let’s give it a try:

• Night
• No
• Nine

Did you hear the nasal sound?

Next, let’s try the sounds in the word pairs. If you like, you can repeat after me:

• Light - night
• Low - no
• Line - nine

We can practice these sounds in the first line of the tongue twister:

We light a new light for the Lunar New Year

With us today are learners from the Auburn library conversation class.

Students

We light a new light for the Lunar New Year,

In the dark of the night, we light a new light for Diwali

For eight nights, we light a new light for Hanukkah

They did such an amazing job.

I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about the different ways of saying the /l/ and /n/ sounds. Tonight, when you turn on a light, practise it again.

I hope you enjoy your next festival in Australia with friends and family.
