Who put sheep on the ship?
Manage episode 293604235 series 2931064
This lesson is the first in a series on American English vowel sounds. It is primarily intended for Spanish speakers but won't harm anyone else. I promise!
Today's sounds are the [i] sound in fit, sit, or bit, and the [ee] sound in feet, seat, and beat.
Part One:
Let's start with a few sentences which include both sounds. I'll read each sentence two times, and then say each one two more times with a space after each one so you can repeat.
1) These shoes don't fit my feet. (2x)
Listen and repeat:
2) The dog bit the meat.
3) This is mint tea. Do you like it sweet? (Is it too minty?)
4) Children, please sit in your seats.
Part Two: Now let's practice sentences which only have the [i] sound:
I'll say the word first three times. Then I'll say the sentence twice, and then again twice with a pause so you can repeat.
- This jacket doesn't fit. It's too small.
- Please sit down.
- Your dog bit me!
- Can you give me a hint?
- The tiger fell into a pit.
- An inch is longer than a centimeter.
- She lit the fire with a match.
- Do you like mint tea?
- Please come in.
- He stuck me with a pin.
Part Three: Now let’s practice with the [ee] sound.
As before, I’ll say the key word three times. Then I'll say the sentence twice, and then twice more with a pause so you can repeat.
- Your father has big feet!
- She likes to keep her house neat.
- He’s a terrible drummer. He can’t keep the beat.
- There’s a hole in the seat of your pants.
- Tonight I’m going to a ‘meet and greet’.
- From the mountain top I can see all the way to the sea.
- Please come in and make yourselves at home.
- This is my brother, Pete.
- He’s mixing concrete for the foundation.
- “Never retreat!” shouted the general.
Part Four: Extra practice.
- Mr. Jim Witt put the sheep on the ship.
- The architect was holding a blueprint.
- If you like, I can tint your hair purple.
- He’s a terrible hypocrite.
- I can’t work until I get a work permit.
- The pilot climbed into the cockpit.
- Do you want us to babysit?
- The accountant sent me a spreadsheet.
- His heartbeat was fast because of the heat.
- She gave a great speech.
Coming in the next podcast: /ʊ/ vs. /u/, the sound in 'book' vs. the sound in 'boot'.
