Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be listening to the pronunciation of the 25 vowel symbols, (that is to say “speech sounds”) of the phonetic alphabet. <br />So let’s start!
</em>
 </p> <p>
<em>
Woman: 	You will now listen to the 25 vowel phonetic symbols, followed by an example of their pronunciation. 	
<br />
Now listen to these examples of the 12 monophongs: <font style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Doulos SIL', 'Arial Unicode MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br />
Man:	1 / i:/   as in sheep<br />Man:	2 / &#618; / as in ship<br />Man:	3 /  &#603; / as in get  <br />Man:	4 /  &#230; / as in  hat <br />Man:	5 /  ɑ:/as in art<br />Man:	6 / ɒ / as in hot<br />Man:	7 / ɔ:/ as in war<br />Man:	8 /  ʊ / as in wood<br />Man:	9 / u:/  as in blue<br />Man:	10 / ʌ / as in up<br />Man:	11 / ə / as in mother<br />Man:	12/ ɜ:/ / as in word 
</font>
<br />
Woman: 	Now let’s listen to the sounds of the 8 diphthong vowel sounds:<font style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Doulos SIL', 'Arial Unicode MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Man:	13 /eɪ/ as in hay<br />Man:	14 /aɪ/ as in high <br />Man:	15  /ɔɪ/ as in coy<br />Man: 	16 /aʊ/ as in cow<br />Man: 	17 /əʊ/ as in open<br />Man: 	18 /ɪə/ as in cheer <br />Man:	19 /ɛə/ as in care <br />Man:	20 /ʊə/ as in cure 
</font>
<br />
Woman: 	Now let’s listen to the sounds of the 5  triphthong  vowel sounds:<font style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Doulos SIL', 'Arial Unicode MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Man:	21 /eɪə/	as in player<br />Man:	22 /aɪə/ as in tyre <br />Man:	23 /ɔɪə/	 as in soya <br />Man:	24 /aʊə/ as in flower<br />Man:	25 /əʊə/ as in sower 
</font>
<br />
Woman:	Although it is impossible to learn phonetic transcription over night, (especially the vowel sounds,) but, it is a good idea to make a note of them when you look up a word in a dictionary, so you start to begin to recognise them, and improve your pronunciation, as there is often no logic to the way English words are written and spoken, due to how the language has developed and changed over the centuries.
<br />
Woman: 	If you wish you can hear this lesson again. In the meantime we hope we have helped you to be more confident with your English. Watch out for the next topic and thank you for using the EnglishBlog.

<p><strong>Vowels </strong>in the alphabet are the following characters   <strong>“a”</strong>, <strong>“e” </strong>,<strong>”I”</strong>, <strong>“o”</strong>, <strong>“u”</strong>. </p>
<p>However in the English phonetic language, there are<strong> 25 vowel sounds</strong> (<strong>phonemes</strong>), as shown below.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There are <strong>12 monophthongs</strong> (OR a single vowel sound)</p>
<p>There are <strong>8 dipthongs</strong> (OR a single vowel sound also, but, the tongue moves to produce a transition from 1 vowel to another)</p>
<p>And there are <strong>5 tripthongs</strong> (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)</p>
<p>Below is the “<strong>vowel phonetic alphabet</strong>” with examples, and in the following podcast, you will hear the correct pronunciation of them.<br /> </p> ]]></content:encoded>
