Video Text: The 'ew' as in 'few' diphthong. The first sound of this diphthong is the Y consonant. Diphthongs are normally made up of two vowel sounds, but in this diphthong, the Y consonant is acting as a vowel. To make this sound, the front part of the tongue will push behind the bottom front teeth, yy, yy, while the mid/front part of the tongue will raise and actually make contact with the roof of the mouth. YY, yy, yyuu. Also, there's a sort of pinching off here in the throat that gives the Y sound that quality. Yyuu, yyuu. The second half of the diphthong is the 'oo' as in 'boo' vowel, yyuu. You may find that the lips start to form that tight circle of the vowel oo, even as you're making the Y consonant sound, yyuu, yyuu. In the 'oo' as in 'boo' vowel, the back part of the tongue stretches up towards the back of the roof of the mouth and soft palate area. So the tongue goes from being raised in the front, touching the front part of the roof of the mouth, to pulling up and stretching towards the back of the roof of the mouth. The tip of the tongue still remains forward in the 'oo' as in 'boo' vowel, jjuu, here behind the bottom front teeth, or slightly lower, in the soft tissue. Yyuu, few. Here you can see both sounds of the 'ew' as in 'few' diphthong. You can see that though in the first sound the lips are rounded, in the second sound they are much more rounded and closed. Here are both sounds in profile. Again, note that the circle of the lips in the second sound is tighter. Here parts of the mouth are drawn in. You can see that in the first sound, the Y consonant sound, the tongue stretches up and forward. Here I have not drawn the tongue pressing all the way to the roof of the mouth because the center part of the tongue is actually leaving room for the air to pass through. So the sides of the top of the tongue are pressing the sides of the roof of the mouth, leaving a small passageway down the center. In the second sound the tongue stretches up and back. Ew. So the tongue has to make this movement from being forward and raised to being back and raised in this diphthong. Sample words: view, use, music. Sample sentence: You are one of few pupils writing beautiful poetry. Now you will see this sentence up close and in slow motion, both straight on and from an angle, so you can really study how the mouth moves when making this sound. You, you can see the lips round, but they come in tighter towards the end of the diphthong. And the tongue moves back as you can see the space between the teeth getting darker. Are, tongue moves into the R consonant position. One, lips come small, tongue goes up to make the N. Of, the lip to the teeth to make the V sound. Few, another 'ew' as in 'few' diphthong: lips start bigger and then come in to the tighter circle. Lips together for the P, pupils, another 'ew' as in 'few' diphthong. Writing, lips form a tight R position, and then open into the 'ai' as in 'buy' diphthong. And the tongue moves up into the T position. Beautiful, another 'ew' as in 'few' diphthong here. Tongue tip up to make the T and the lip up to make the F. Poetry, the 'oh' as in 'no' diphthong. The T, then the lips make the R position, and the lips pull back into the 'ee' as in 'she'. And now from an angle. You, the lips form and you see the tongue begin to pull back as the lips tighten into a tighter circle. Are, you see the tongue back there making the R consonant sound. One. Tongue up to make the N. Of, lip up to make the V sound, few, the lips up to make the F, and another 'ew' as in 'few' diphthong, you see the tongue moving back. Pupils, another 'ew' as in 'few' diphthong. And again the lips tighten into a tight circle as the lips move back. Writing, the tongue up to touch the roof of the mouth for the T, beautiful, another 'ew' as in 'few' diphthong. The tongue up to touch the roof of the mouth for the T. Poetry, 'oh' as in 'no' diphthong. There's the R consonant sound. And then the corners of the lips pull back into the 'ee' as in 'she' sound. That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English. |

Video Text: The 'oy' as in 'toy' diphthong. The first vowel of this diphthong is the 'aw' as in 'law' vowel. However, in the diphthong, the lips will round more than when the 'aw' as in 'law' is simply a vowel in American English. Law, oy. Did you see how the lips shifted into a tighter position? Law, oy. The tongue position, however, is the 'aw' as in 'law' tongue position. It is slightly raised and shifted a bit back, o, o, so the tip of the tongue is not touching anything. The second sound is the 'ih' as in 'sit' vowel. To make this sound, the tongue will come forward and the tip will touch lightly behind the bottom front teeth. The mid part of the tongue will raise towards the roof of the mouth, oy, oy. And you can see the corners of the lips will pull out of the circle, oy, oy, and back.

Video Text: The 'ur' as in 'her' vowel sound. I sometimes say this is the vowel version of the R consonant. It's always followed by the R, and there's no distinction between the sounds. So it will always be written with two different IPA symbols, but it will be pronounced rr, just one sound. It's the same sound, actually, as the schwa-R sound with one exception: the 'ur' as in 'her' vowel with the R may be in a stressed word, like a noun, like 'earth', for example. And the schwa-R sound will always be in an unstressed syllable, like 'father'. But it's the same sound. When it's stressed, it will just be a little higher in pitch, maybe a little longer. To make this sound, the lips will round a bit, rr, rr. So, the corners come in, and that brings this part away from the face, rr, rr. The middle part of the tongue raises towards the roof of the mouth in the middle, rr, and the tongue actually touches the top teeth on either side here, rr, rr. It presses against them. The front of the tongue hangs down then, rr, rr, but it's drawn back a bit. So, it's not touching anything, rr, her. Here is the 'ur' as in 'her' sound on the right compared with the mouth at rest on the left. Notice that the corners of the mouth are pushed in somewhat, which brings the center part of the lips away from the face. Here, parts of the mouth are drawn in.

More than just raised, the mid part of the tongue is fattened up. This draws the tip of the tongue slightly back so that it is not touching anything. The 'ur' as in 'her sound. Sample words: learn, third, earn, person. Sample sentence: She was served turkey at her first American Thanksgiving.

She, the lips form the SH sound, sh. Was, the lips come together to make the W in the circle, was, the teeth come together to make the Z.

Video Text: The 'ai' as in 'buy' diphthong. The first sound of this diphthong does not occur on its own as a vowel in American English. A, a, ai. It's similar to the 'aa' as in 'bat' in that the back of the tongue raises towards the soft palate, but it doesn't raise as high as it does in the 'aa' as in 'bat' vowel, a, a, ai. Also, you may find that the corners of the lips pull out a little bit, and the top lip raises a bit, exposing some of those front teeth, a, a. The tip of the tongue remains forward in this sound, lightly touching behind the bottom front teeth. The second sound of the diphthong is the 'ih' as in 'sit'. In this sound, the tip of the tongue is also forward, touching just behind the bottom front teeth. So that does not move in this diphthong. However, the front/mid part of the tongue does raise towards the roof of the mouth, ai, ai. So as it reaches up towards the roof of the mouth, the jaw will close somewhat, ai, ai, buy. Here we see the two sounds of this diphthong. You can see in the first sound, aa, that the jaw is more dropped. On the second sound, 'ih', the tongue is more forward. Here are the two sounds in profile. Again, note that in the first sound, the jaw is dropped more. Here, parts of the mouth are drawn in. you can see that the tongue position in the first sound is drawn slightly back, which makes it flatter. In the second sound, the tongue is much more raised in the front. In both sounds, the tip of the tongue does lightly touch behind the bottom front teeth. The 'ai' as in 'buy' diphthong.

Video Text: The 'eh' as in 'bed' vowel sound. To make this sound, the jaw drops, eh, and the tongue remains forward with the tip touching lightly behind the bottom front teeth. Eh. The mid/front part of the tongue raises somewhat towards the roof of the mouth while the back of the tongue feels like it stretches wide, eh, eh, bed. Here is the 'eh' as in 'bed' vowel on the right, with the mouth at rest on the left. And here we see the parts of the mouth drawn in. The soft palate, as with all vowels, is raised. It is the mid/front part of the tongue that is somewhat raised. But the tip of the tongue still rests against the back of the front bottom teeth. Sample words: feather, spend, benefit. Sample sentence: French bread is best when it is very fresh. Now you will see this sentence up close and in slow motion both straight on and from an angle so you can really study how the mouth moves when making this sound. French, the bottom lip moves up to the ff position, and then the mouth opens into the 'eh' as in 'bed' vowel. See that jaw drop. Tongue moves up to make the N, ch. Bread, again, the 'eh' as in 'bed' vowel. And again the tongue moves up to make the D. Is best. Another 'eh' as in 'bed' vowel. When. Now here you will see that the tongue is not down, and that the jaw does not drop as much. This is because the word when is not stressed in this sentence. It is shortened. It is still the 'eh' as in 'bed' vowel, but because it is so quick, the mouth does not form the true position, and the tongue is moving up into position for the N in 'when'. It is very - with the 'eh'. Here the tongue position appears to be slightly different. And that is because the tongue is beginning to move into position for the R consonant sound in 'very', even as the jaw has dropped for the 'eh' as in 'bed' vowel. So the tongue does not stay down in the eh position long. This is typical of the R consonant. It tends to take over the vowel that comes before it in the same syllable. Fresh, 'eh' as in 'bed'. And here is the same sentence from an angle. French, the bottom lip moves up to make the F and the jaw drops for the 'eh' as in 'bed', but the tongue quickly moves up to make that N. Ch. Bread, again, the jaw drops for the 'eh' as in 'bed'. And again the tongue moves up to make the D in bread. Is best, lips come together for the B, and the jaw drops, be-, best. When, with the shorter eh vowel, and you can see the tongue moving up into position for the N. It is. Bottom lip comes up for the V, very, and here is the eh, but the tongue is not completely forward, as it is already moving back for the R sound. Very. Bottom lip moves up to make the F in fresh. This is a good shot of the 'eh' vowel. You can see the tip of the tongue is lightly touching behind the bottom front teeth, and the tongue is raised a bit in the front/mid to make this eh vowel sound. That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English. |

Video Text: The 'ay' as in 'say' diphthong. The first sound in this diphthong does not occur on its own as a vowel in American English, e, e, ay. To make this first sound, the tongue will push forward and press behind the bottom front teeth, e, e. The front part will be wide, ay, ay. The second half is the 'ih' as in 'sit' vowel. So to make this part of the diphthong, the front/mid part of the tongue will raise towards the roof of the mouth, ay, ay. As the tongue raises, the jaw will close somewhat. Ay, say. Here are the two sounds side by side. You can see that in the first sound of the diphthong, the jaw is dropped slightly more. Here are the two sounds in profile.

Notice how much the jaw has dropped in the 'ah' as in 'father' sound. Here, inside parts of the mouth are drawn in. Notice that, as in all vowels, the soft palate is raised. But more importantly, notice that the tongue has pressed down and is flatter. I feel this especially towards the back. Sample words: mom, collar, bother, bottle.

Now you'll see this sentence up close and in slow motion, both straight on and from an angle, so you can really study how the mouth moves when making this sound. You. Now, the word 'can' here is reduced, so it's kknn. The teeth come together for 'see'. My, the next word, apartment, has an ah in the second syllable. Now you're saying here perhaps, the tongue is not flat and the lips are not relaxed. That is because the ah sound here is followed by an R consonant sound, and the R consonant sound takes over this ah vowel. So the jaw drops for the vowel, but even as you are beginning this vowel sound, the lips and the tongue start moving into position for the R consonant sound. Apar--, arr. But still make sure you get in a good ah sound before the rr. Ah, rr. The -ment of apartment. From the, two very quick words.
