Hi guys, this is Fanny. Welcome to this English pronunciation video. In this video, we will focus on two English vowel sounds, I and I. Now, I know they sound very similar, but they are different, and they are two very important vowel sounds in English. So let's start with our two example words. Sit. Now, listen to how I pronounce this word. Sit. Can you hear the I sound? Sit. Now, listen to another word. Seat. Can you hear the pronunciation? Seat.

Adverbs of manner

E sound. Seat. Sit. Seat. I know it can be difficult at first, but with a little bit of practice, I'm sure you will hear them differently. Although they are similar, they are two different vowel sounds. I promise you by the end of this video, you will hear and pronounce them differently. So keep watching. Get ready, students. I'm going to help you make these vowel sounds, I and E. I really want you to be able to hear the difference and to pronounce them correctly. It is very important for you to know the IPA spelling, watch how I move my mouth, and always repeat after me in this video. I know that you can master these vowel sounds. Let's get started. First, let's try to make the sound I. I. So when you pronounce it, your tongue is a little higher in your mouth, closer to the front.

I. Stretch out your lips a little, and it's a short sound. I. Repeat after me. I. I. I.

Let's now practice with the word sit. Repeat after me. Sit. Sit. Sit. Good guys. Let's now practice the second sound, I. So the tongue has the same position. It's a little bit higher, closer to the front. But when you say I, you stretch out your lips a little more, and it's a long sound. I. Your lips should feel a little tighter too. I. Repeat after me.

I. I. I. Let's practice with the word seat. Repeat after me. Seat. Seat. Seat. Good guys.

So we're going to use minimal pairs. They're words with very similar sounds, but the actual vowel sounds are different. And they're a very good way to practice these vowel sounds.

So let's now practice together. First, just the sounds. Watch my mouth and repeat after me.

IH. IH. IH. IH. IH. IH. IH. IH. IH. IH. IH. IH. IH. IH.
