Welcome to Super Quick English Lesson number two. Alright, so today we are looking at two
-
vowel sounds. Let's start off with the long sound. Now I do that with my hands to remind
-
myself that it's a long sound. Now if you watch, my lips and my mouth go outwards and
-
it's open mouth so, like that. Now let's think of some words that have this sound. We have
-
'me', we have 'see', 'tea', 'money' 'receive' so many. Let's look at the short sound. Now
-
this time my lips and mouth don't go outwards they stay quite still and quite central. Let's
-
look at some words that have that sound. So we have 'in', 'sit', 'hill' 'biscuit' 'women'.
-
A word that has both sounds is 'Kimchee' the Korean pickled cabbage. Very tasty! Ok, so
-
let's try say that, so it's 'Kim' 'Chee' If you use your hands it will help you to sort
-
of notice the sounds that your mouth is making. So 'Kim' 'Chee'. Now why is it so important
-
to know how to make these sounds? Well, there are some words that if you say them with the
-
wrong sound might sound quite rude. So, I'll give you an example. 'Beach' nice long sound.
-
Now if you give that a short sound, the meaning changes and it can be quite rude. I won't
-
say it now but most of you probably know it's a rude word. So you have to be careful to
-
know when to use the long sound, and when to say the short sound. Alright it's time
-
to practise, now I'm going to say a tongue twister and I want you to guys t try and say
-
it as well. Ok, are you ready? Here we go. 'I know six, silly sisters who are sweet to
-
meet.' Ok let's use our hands. 'I know six, silly sisters who are sweet to meet.' Alright
-
the long sound at the end there. Ok, let's say it again. 'I know six, silly sister who
-
are sweet to meet.' Ok faster! 'I know six, silly sisters who are sweet to meet.' Have
-
a little fun! You can have a little dance. Alright guys, you can carry on saying it wherever
-
you are. Maybe you are on the train or the bus and you are just saying it out loud. Maybe
-
people think you are crazy, I don't think you are crazy, you are not crazy you are just
-
practising your English.
