Week 6

The teacher introduces the new topic by describing how the /ei/ sound is pronounced

/ei/

The sound /ei/ is a diphthong. It is a combination of two vowel sounds. It is pronounced when the tongue moves from the position where you say /e/ and glides to the position where you say /i/. The mouth is wide and the jaw moves up.

 

She further describes the spelling of /ei/
