[English]
If you want to start speaking English one
in the first steps is learning the English
sounds and the easiest way to do it
That's with the ipa board. That's why
in this video I will guide you about
each symbol on the ipa board with each
symbol you will learn how to make the sound the
Different ways to write example words And even
some common mistakes that Vietnamese people make
After this video you will
know how to pronounce each word in Oxford
learners dictionary in good American English
let's start this is ê
ê Vietnamese people often confuse this sound with y
So listen carefully to make this
sound, your tongue should be high in the roof of your mouth
but not as high as with y the tip of the tongue can
rest right behind your bottom front teeth
Hey
Hey
Sit
decide symbol
As I said before, many Vietnamese
people confuse ê with i. For example, say ship
Instead of ship to fix this error, when you make
the e sound, lower the word a bit and release
out to make the sound
stick holds the tongue in front of the mouth slightly
closed but not
tense
e
a Sheep
ship
seat
Sit
feet fit By the way, learning ipa is very important
but just the theory
It's not enough to actually speak English clearly
and naturally you need a practice system
To build muscle reflexes, that's why
I created the science of pronunciation
Complete American English in this course you
not only learn all 44 ipa sounds
difficulties such as endings -s, -ed and medium linking words
give detailed instructions on how to move the mouth and
tongue is more important to help you turn
knowledge into practical course skills
This includes hundreds of
practice words and sentences useful for everyday communication
Special videos designed specifically for
learning pronunciation allow you to repeat
each part to practice recording tool
Suitable for allowing you to record your voice
and listen back with a delay to compare
directly with how special your voice is
Includes an additional shadowing technique to help you
practice until the negative becomes negative
This is exactly the method
that has helped me speak Vietnamese clearly

American English, as you can see in our table

We see that the American version uses the o sound
instead. So if you see this symbol
you can pronounce it like
this is o
