pattern. When I try to break the syllable
after the first syllable it doesn’t sound
right.

sounds correct.

• My breath got caught somewhere midst
my stomach and my chest.

beginning. I will try the different /o/
sounds. I’ll try the short /o/ sound.

altogether it doesn’t sound like a word I
know. I’ll try a /k/ sound and, yes, it
sounds like a word I know.
