Week 3

The teacher revises the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by describing how the /ᶦᵊ/ sound is pronounced.

 

/ᶦᵊ/

The sound /ᶦᵊ/ is pronounced when the tongue starts in front, centralized position to say /ᶦ/ and then moves backward and downwards towards the position where you say /ᵊ/. Your lips start from a neutrally spread position for /ᶦ/ to a slightly open position for /ᵊ/.

You have to be careful not to make your mouth too open so as not to replace /ᶦᵊ/ with /ᵊ/.
