  • In this American English pronunciation video,

  • we're going to learn how to pronounce the AY as in SAY diphthong.

  • Diphthongs are a combination of two sounds,

  • so they have a starting position and an ending position.

  • In the first position, the jaw drops and the tongue tip touches the back of the bottom front teeth.

  • The top of the tongue pushes forward and lifts a bit.

  • The second sound is the IH as in SIT vowel.

  • To transition into this position,

  • your jaw will lift as the top, front part of the tongue arches towards the roof of the mouth.

  • Let's look at a word with this sound, 'pay'.

  • The jaw drops, and you can see a lot of tongue as the front and middle push up and forward.

  • As the top, front part of the tongue arches up towards the roof of the mouth, the jaw comes up

  • Lips are relaxed for this diphthong.

  • AY, pay.

  • In a stressed syllable like 'pay',

  • the AY diphthong curves up then down.

  • Pay, ay.

  • In an unstressed syllable, it's lower and flatter in pitch,

  • as well as quicker and quieter, ay, ay.

  • The diphthong is unstressed in the word 'driveway', ay.

  • Let's take a look at this word.

  • Just as before, the jaw drops, and you can see a lot of tongue

  • as the front and middle push up and forward.

  • Then the top, front part of the tongue arches up

  • towards the roof of the mouth, and the jaw comes up.

  • Jaw drop may be a little less when this diphthong is in an unstressed syllable,

  • as we tend to simplify mouth movements in unstressed syllables, which are shorter.

  • The AY diphthong, stressed: Pay, AY

  • Unstressed: driveway, ay

  • AY, ay, AY, ay.

  • Example words. Repeat with me:

  • Okay. AY- Okay.

  • Play. AY- Play.

  • Operate. AY- Operate.

  • Gain. AY- Gain.

  • Separate. AY- Separate.

  • Pain. Ay- Pain.
