TRANSCRIPT: Hi everybody, welcome back to Solex College. I am an instructor here. My name is Bonnie Miller. And today we are talking about pronunciations.
Before we start to talk about pronunciation, let’s talk about using our mouths before we even start speaking the words. So when you want to speaking English for Americans we do use our mouths. Smile, ppen your mouth, spread your lips even wider, let’s see teeth when you‘re speaking.
Let’s practice some words today.
Let’s practice the words that sound like (IY).
Often times, we will see them used differently with different vowels
Let’s look at the words that we might use. Let’s look at the word tea- in the long sound.
TEA,
TEA
Let’s look at the word THREE.
THREE, THREE
Let’s also look at the word, BEAN
BEAN
See the mouth is open wide -BEAN
And also the word, CHEESE
CHEESE, CHEESE,
Let’s say it again, CHEESE
Let’s say it again,
TEA,
THREE,
BEAN,
CHEESE
That’s the long (IY) sound.
****************************************************************
So, now we are going to look at the same sound but a little bit shorter.
So now let’s look at the word MEAT.
MEAT.
Not M-EEET
MEAT
OKAY?
And the word PEACH.
Like my drawing?
PEACH, not P-EEE-CH
A little bit smaller sound.
And, Also PIZZA
It’s not P-EEE-Z-A
It’s PIZZA
And also- COFFEE
COFFEE
Not COF-FEEE
COFFEE
That’s the shorter sound of the EE sound
So, sometimes you hear the same sounds but they are spelled differently.
So the (IY )sound isn’t always (e).
Sometimes we see it written in different ways.
So we can have that same sound of (IY)
(EE) As THREE.
Or SEE. Or FEEL Or CHEESE,
Or sometimes it looks like (EA): TEA , same sounding
EAT, REPEAT, PLEASE
Now, sometimes you’ll see a word with (E) the last part of the word is silent. So the second (E) is silent.
THESE, the stress is on the first E, the last E is pretty silent.
OKAY?
COMPLETE. This E is strong, this E is silent
EVENING: the first E is strong, the second E is silent
Then finally, we have (Y) that comes at the end of the word.
Very- that (IY) sound
ONLY, as well as, READY
And then we have (IE).
BELIEVE, PIECE, MOVIE
And (EY)
So this sound comes in many kinds of words.
Let’s review: KEY, MONEY
And also as an (I):
VISA, MACHINE and POLICE
So the (IY) sound- whether it is a strong (IY) or a quieter (IY)-it shows up in our writing in many different forms.
I hope you understood how we use (IY) sound in other spellings, and I hope you are able to use it in your vocabulary as you are speaking to your friends.
