Today we are going to begin exploring some of the most difficult vowel sounds for non native speakers of English.

今天我們將開始探討一些對於非英語母語者來說最困難的元音。

Let's review the IT and E sounds, which we have explored in previous videos.

讓我們回顧一下IT和E的聲音，我們已經在之前的視頻中探討過。

If you haven't seen those videos yet, you might want to watch them first.

如果你還沒有看過這些視頻，不妨先看看。

The difference between E and E is important because mixing up the two vowel sounds can cause confusion or embarrassment.

E和E之間的區別很重要，因為把這兩個元音混在一起會造成混淆或尷尬。

It is almost always spelled with the letter I, as in dig while E is more commonly spelled with two letters e or E A like feet or dream.

它幾乎都是用字母I來拼寫，如dig，而E則更常見的是用兩個字母e或E A來拼寫，如foot或dream。

Remember, you should relax your lips and tongue for the it sound.

記住，你應該放鬆你的嘴脣和舌頭來發出它的聲音。

Your lips should be tense for the e sound.

你的嘴脣要繃緊發e音。

Let's practice for this exercise.

我們來練習一下這個練習。

You will need a mobile phone computer or some other way to record your voice.

你需要一臺手機電腦或其他方式來記錄你的聲音。

I want you to pause the video when you see the text and then record yourself reading the text.

我想讓你在看到文字的時候暫停視頻，然後錄下自己閱讀文字的過程。

Then compare your recording toe.

然後比較你的錄音趾。

My voice.

我的聲音。

Pay special attention to the E, and it sounds.

特別注意E，它的聲音。

If you practice using it, the sound becomes unbelievably easy.
