  • Hi.

  • Okay.

  • Today we're going to do one more.

  • Another vowel sound.

  • These two vowel sounds are very similar.

  • But once you get the trick easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

  • So here we are in the Phanatic International world of alphabets, There's this symbol that looks like in A and e getting together.

  • The other sound looks like and a sort of, but it's not, Um, I have never learned the international phonetic alphabet.

  • If you have learned that you're lucky all systems go would I know.

  • And what I will teach you is my brain.

  • This is on a sound, and this is an all sound.

  • The very, very important thing is that you use your mouth when you talk all the time.

  • This word your mouth is open a little bit, and it's Ah, Uh huh.

  • When we say this word or this letter, it's a Oh, uh, you're gonna make your mouth from a no sound and drop it open.

  • Uh, so it's, uh ah, Let's try this.

  • The first ones that we're going to dio are the ah sound.

  • This is a relaxed mouth.

  • Your mouth is open, not as wide auras azi other one.

  • So we're gonna try this bag.

  • Bag, hat, hat.

  • Dan.

  • Dan Dan is a male name.

  • It has a capital.

  • Every time you see a capital letter in the English alphabet, it's because it's a proper noun.

  • It's a person's name or place.

  • I want you to repeat the second time we do it.
