letter e is everywhere nearly every word in english contains a letter e okay it's

really really important so how many ways do you think there are to

pronounce this letter have a think and today we're going to go

through all of those different ways and i'll give you advice on your

pronunciation we'll talk about some vocabulary that you can use some really

long words some crazy words and hopefully by the end of this lesson

you'll know all of the different ways to pronounce this and we'll have a little

test at the end okay so let's start with number one

okay so number one nice and easy to start with

e your lips widen a little bit and your tongue sort of hovers

e sometimes people call this the long e but don't always use that because it

doesn't have to be very very long it can be e e e okay but the important thing is

e we find this in really common words it's

very important because it's found in super common words like he

to be okay if you want to practice that better

or faster try going through all of them he she we me

he she we me he she we me okay and you'll get that

sound really really natural really really natural okay we can also

pronounce the letter e as e in words where it is a stressed syllable

female okay female the stressed syllable is the first part

of that word fee and you can see the letter e there

that's the stressed part e so often in many words in english when

the e is the stressed part we pronounce it e

in those words one syllable is stressed the syllable with the letter e at the

beginning is stressed so we pronounce it e be careful because there are many

exceptions to this rule but in many words when the e is stressed we

pronounce it e okay you'll also find this

pronunciation of the letter e in words like chinese or vietnamese or japanese

okay e-s-e any word with e-s-e that e-s-e is

pronounced ease ease okay this is because of something

don't worry magic e we're going to look at at the end of today's lesson but for

now look at words like theme and you can also see they have e then a

consonant and then another e that final e is called magic e okay and that's one

of the reasons why we pronounce these e japanese

okay practice those words we also pronounce the letter e as e in

greek words that means words in english that come from the ancient greek

language okay words like hercules you know the really famous

strong man hercules hercules okay but also plurals of greek words so the

single word oasis if you change that to the plural which

means many of you just add es oases same with crisis becomes crises and

thesis becomes theses okay that es on the end of words here is always

pronounced ease ease because they're taken from greek

crises and oases also we often pronounce the letter e as

e in words where it appears next to an a so the letters e a together if you look

reach that ea here together is pronounced as

okay this is the same when we have two letter

e's together e e in words like free everybody loves free stuff right free

free so when you see words with two e's together it's normally pronounced long e
