Vowels in the alphabet are the following characters “a”, “e” ,”I”, “o”, “u”.

However in the English phonetic language, there are 25 vowel sounds (phonemes), as shown below.

This can be a problem, as many language students have less vowel sounds in their own language, so their ears are not trained to perceive the difference between “ship” and “sheep” for example.

There are 12 monophthongs (OR a single vowel sound)

There are 8 dipthongs (OR a single vowel sound also, but, the tongue moves to produce a transition from 1 vowel to another)

And there are 5 tripthongs (OR also a single vowel sound, but the tongue moves twice, to produce a transition from one vowel to another, and then to a third)

Below is the “vowel phonetic alphabet” with examples, and in the following podcast, you will hear the correct pronunciation of them.
