How to Pronounce: Games with Vowel Sounds, Part 20

n recent videos, we explored the differences between many of the vowel sounds of American English. We have spent a lot of time learning how to distinguish between vowel sounds that are easy to mix up. But there are a few remaining vowel sounds that we need to work on. Our vowel sound for today is written a few different ways in IPA. You don’t need to worry too much about that for now. For the purposes of today’s lesson, we will say it is this: /aɪ/ This vowel sound goes with a few different English spelling patterns – y, ie, or igh. Let’s practice with the vowel sound by doing a quiz. I will say a sentence. Count how many times you hear the /aɪ/ vowel sound. Why is the price so high? [INCLUDE PAUSE FOR VIEWERS TO THINK] Listen again: Why is the price so high? The /aɪ/ vowel sound appeared 3 times in the sentence. You heard it in these words: Why price high That’s all for today! In future videos, we will do more fun games that explore the sounds of American English. Don’t forget to watch more of our videos at our website https://learningenglish.voanews.com/
