right now we're going to study English
vowel sounds why because you can get
yourself into a lot of trouble by using
the wrong vowel sound in English words
so we need to fix that right
okay if you've watched my IPA
introduction video then you'll know
exactly what all these symbols mean this
is the international phonetic alphabet
and I use it a lot when I'm teaching
pronunciation to my English students if
you don't know what they are that's okay
you just need to watch the video up
there first then you can watch this one
that video will make this video much
easier to understand okay so these are
all the English vowel sounds these are
the ones are diphthongs which are also
vowel sounds but there is another video
that I've made especially about
diphthong sounds you can watch it here
so there are all of these English vowel
sounds but only five English vowel
letters a e I owe you how does that work
let's use the letter E as an example
when you see the letter E in an English
word it can be pronounced in a few
different ways short e as in egg long e
as in she long with an accent as in cafe
or the lazy schwa sound oh the sound is
so lazy Oh like eleven eleven so let's
look at this group of English sounds
remember that their sounds
not English letters now let's look at
the first two sounds e and E these
Psalms caused a few problems
English learners e and e let's look at
this example beach it has the long vowel
sound in this word e beach if you
mispronounce this long vowel sound and
use the short e sound you'll say bitch
that's redwood beach each here's another
example sheet sheet it uses the long
vowel sound but if you accidentally use
the short vowel sound you'll say shit
that is also a really rude word so long
vowel sounds and short vowel sounds are
important in English the short sound is
it hit sing bit which disk the long
vowel sound is e meat eat beach sheet
believe next we have the vowel sound
oh you'll hear that in words like book
cook sugar and then we have the longer
sound o you'll hear this sound in words
like you to shoe whoo computer let's
move on it's also easy to confuse the
e vowel sound with the short vowel sound
a egg 10 left excellent
below that we have ah ah you'll hear
this sound in words like cat flat
compact that lets go through the middle
now
next we have my favorite sound it's the
lazier sound in English it's also the
most commonly heard sound in English
you'll hear it a lot today teacher the
around then there's a ah as in her word
first work bird notice that the same
English sound can be used for all of
those different letters in that example
all the words her work and first use
different letters but make the same
sound that's why learning the IPA is
going to help you pronounce English
words better then we have the all sound
or you can hear this word pronounced in
or for BOTS perform saw underneath we
move from the ah sound - ah ah
you can hear this sounded words like cup
butt butter truck then there's the R
sound ah ah as in far cut and hot then
we have the O sound or you can hear this
sound in not on log God forgot so that's
it for English vowel sound pronunciation
today make sure you subscribe to my
channel down here so that you can get my
next video which is all about English
vowel sound pronunciation with
diphthongs but right now I want you to
