Did you know there are 20 vowels in English?

情態副詞

There are actually 20 different vowel sounds

There are a maximum of six vowels in our writing system

we use a maximum of 20 different vowel sounds.

The 20 vowel sounds in British English are split into three different categories.

Today, I'm going to show you all of the vowels in British English

and teach you a little bit about the categories.

Wait, wait, wait!  0:01:08.667,1193:02:47.295 and diphthong.

Before all that, I need to teach you about the most important tool we have

when we describe the sounds in any language or any accent

It's a kind of special alphabet where each letter or phoneme represents a different sound.

Today, we'll be using these symbols or phonemes to describe the sounds in each category.

Short vowels are pretty self-explanatory.

We have seven short vowels in British English.

But the sound in each word is completely different

So you can see how there can be many different vowel sounds

but only six actual letters in the English alphabet.

and we can tell that they are long vowels

because the phonemes have this symbol next to them.

In particular, please make sure that you make a long enough vowel sound.

It can be the difference between sheep and ship

Okay. This final category contains some of the harder vowels to make in English.

Because you have to make two sounds in one.

For example, /eɪ/ is a combination of /e/ and /ɪ/

but the last one /ʊə/ isn't really used much anymore.

In other words, we don't tend to say 'tour' anymore.
