How to Pronounce: Is There Shuttle Service Available? 

Hello! I’m John Russell.
Let’s continue exploring common phrases, questions, and statements that we need to know when we travel.
Today, we explore a common term related to transportation: shuttle service. We might use our term in questions that we ask at an airport, a hotel, or even at a college or university.
For example:
Is there shuttle service available?
Do you have shuttle service?
A shuttle is a vehicle that goes back and forth regularly.
So, shuttle service is a vehicle that provides transportation to people on a regular basis.
“Shuttle service” contains some difficult consonant sounds. So, let’s work together to improve our pronunciation of these sounds.
Let's start with "shuttle.”
We have the consonant sounds. SH - TTT LL
Listen and repeat after me:
SH - TTT LL
SH - TTT LL
Now let’s include the vowel sounds.
Shuttle
Shuttle
Now let's explore the word "service."
Service has three consonant sounds. Listen and repeat after me:
S V S
S V S
When we combine our vowels and consonants, we get this:
service
After all that work, let’s try to ask our questions again:
Is there shuttle service available?
Do you have shuttle service?
That's all for today!
Keep up the good work!
