BRITISH ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION - ɪə vowel sound

Hello and welcome back to English with Lucy.

We’re now going to continue with the British pronunciation series.

Today, we’re going to talk about another diphthong and this diphthong is here. So, if you don’t remember from last class a difficult is a combination of two vowel sounds in the same syllable. So, we’ve got the in and the ear. ear.

Now, British people especially in the slightly posh accents well sometimes say ear instead of ear. So, we will soften out the DIF from a little bit. so, let’s talk about some words that are well-known. firstly, we’ve got words with E and a. So, we’ve got appear here near clear fear. Okay, I am speaking in a strong British accent.

So, I’m using a lot of air. It’s very breathy then I have words with E, E, beer, career, volunteer, then I’ve got words with ER, e, like atmosphere or severe. Sometimes just the eat unknown is pronounces, ear, so, period or interior. But, this is really probably even I don’t say that. So, I’ll go interior it rather than ear.

Then, we’ve got the e, I in words such as weird, wind. then record zo in things such as theory. We’ve also got ie, such as fierce, cashier. Okay, well I hope you enjoyed and learnt something from this lesson on the ear and make sure you try and apply it when using all the words that you learnt today to anyone that’s complaining that I’m not writing definitions for the words of these videos. this is a pronunciation video and looking up the words in a dictionary it’s fairly simple. So, I recommend you do that. Okay, thank you very much for watching.
