Words

Say the word “tree” out loud.

Say it again.

Again.

Again.

Keep repeating it until the word starts to have a whole new sound to it. Think about the word. Why does the “tr” cluster elicit a “ch”-esque sound? Ask other questions like it. What makes “tree” associate with that we commonly know as a “tree?” The word might start to sound absurd. Keep repeating. Keep questioning its denotation and connotation.

Try another word.
