Hello students, this is Fanny.
Welcome to this English pronunciation video.
In this video, I'm going to focus on 2 English vowel sounds.
在本影片中，我將專注於 2 個英語元音。
..............................................................................................
vowel [ˈvaʊəl] n. 元音；母音
vowel system 元音系統
Each language has a different vowel system.
每種語言都有不同的元音系統。
consonant [ ˈkɑːnsənənt] 輔音；子音
vowel and consonant 元音和輔音

Ah, and they sound similar, but they are different, so you need to pronounce them differently.
Let's start with two example words.
My first example word is run.
Can you hear the air sound?
Ran.
My second word is run.
Uh. Run. Ran run. Can you hear the difference?
Well, if you can't, I promise by the end of this video you will improve your hearing and pronunciation of these two vowel sounds, so keep watching.
Get ready guys,
I am going to help you make the sounds ah and ah in English.
I want you to hear the difference very clearly and to be able to pronounce them correctly.
Also, you should know the IPA spelling. Watch how I move my mouth and please try to always repeat after me.
I know you can do it, so let's get started.
First, let's try to make the sound ah
so your tongue is very low in your mouth. Ah.
Can you repeat after me?
Ah. Ah. Ah.
Let's now use the word ran. Repeat after me. Ran. Ran. Ran.
And now let's produce the sound. Uh,
Your tongue is in the middle part of your mouth. Uh.
Please repeat after me. Uh. Uh. Uh.
Let's now practice with the word run. Repeat after me. Run. Run. Run. Good guys.
let's now use minimal pairs words that are very similar but vowel sounds change.
現在讓我們使用非常相似的最小成對單詞，但元音會變化。
Very good way to practice the vowel sounds.
First just the sounds repeat after me and watch how my mouth moves. Ah. Ah. Ah. Uh.
Uh. Uh. Ah. Uh. Ah. Uh. Ah. Uh. Let's now use the words run and run. Please repeat after me. Run. Ran. Run. Run. Run. Run. Ran. Run. Ran. Run. Ran. Run.
