This video will teach you the twelve single vowel sounds of English, also called monophthongs.
You will learn the following sounds:
/i:/, /ɪ/, /ʊ/, /u:/, /ɒ/, /ɔ:/, /ʌ/, /ɑ:/, /e/, /ə/, /æ/ and /ɜ:/.
This video comes with two exercises on long and short vowel sounds. You can find them in the pronunciation category on the blog.
very clear!
Now try and repeat the sounds!
perfect.It´s pretty good for my pronunciation.
Very good, I am glad the video was helpful.
It’s a really helpful video.
Thanks Barbara!
I finished to watch the video. I think is very helpful so I wrote the different sounds and I’ll try to use them. Thanks. Sergio
Hi Sergio, it’s a good idea to write down the phonetic symbols so you become more familiar with them and can practise the sounds at home. Check out the Phonetic Chart from the BBC under ‘My favourite webistes’ on this blog. You can click on the sounds and listen to them.
I won’t forget to say I’m full and not I’m fool, hahahaha , It’s has been great, well done billie
Thanks Sonia!
Great video, I’ll try to do a better pronunciation in the future.

Hi! I’ve already watched your video and I think it’s more useful, I needed that somebody taugh me it, because I’d never heard all vowel sounds. I’ll watch it again at home.
Thank you,
Carolina
Hi Carolina! I am glad you found the video helpful. It’s a good idea to listen to it again at home and to practise saying the sounds out loud. Let me know how you get on!
