5.1 The single biggest tip to clear English fast! The secret is inside this chapter.

5.2 The I sound. This sound as in the words; like, bike, Mike. Being able to ‘round’ this sound off will give you a more ‘British English’ sound.

5.3 The I sound, same letter, different sound. English is complicated, but this video breaks down how the letter ‘i’ has 2 different sounds and in what words you should use what sound. This sound is in words such as ‘things.

5.4 The short e sound. This video will show you how to say this sound in my New Zealand accent. Skip over this video is you don’t want to learn how to speak like a Kiwi!

5.5 This long E sound you will find in words such as ‘feed’.

5.6 The long O sound, as in words like Oh, no, so (and sew and sow)

5.7 Another way to articulate the letter O is short, in words like; hot and got.

5.8 The U sound. Two sounds for this letter again, this video is for the short u sound, as in put.

5.9 The U sound again. The second way to articulate the U sound is in words like put.

5.10 The a sound. Found is words such as cake, rake, day.

5.11 The Ah sound. This is not actually a vowel sound as such as it is in words such are park, dark and mark. This sound helps you to relax your jaw so your sounds will come out clearly.

5.12 This sound is words like cow and out

5.13 The Aye sound. A challenging sound as it requires 3 movements with your jaw. You need to make sure your jaw is fully relaxed for this one.

5.14 The AW sound. In words such as saw.

5.15 The OO sound. As in boo, who.

5.16 The OI sound. This sound can be spelled – oi or oy. As in soil and boy.

5.17 The IRE sound. This 3 part sound is in words like fire and wire. You need your jaw, tongue and lips for this sound.

6.1 This sound is created by blowing air through your open lips. Some English and Australian people say this as Haitch.

6.2 This sound can be incorrectly articulated as TH or V so practise this a lot if you have these sounds confused.

6.3 These sounds are called ‘plosives’ and they should ‘pop’ off your lips. Fun sounds to practise.

6.4 Another sound that is just air passing through your lips. The difference to the H sound is in how you move your lips.

6.5 This is called a nasal sound and when you practise it you may feel lots of tingles in your lips. That’s good! It’s a sign you are doing the exercises correctly.

6.6 The last letter in our alphabet, try these exercises to differentiate between s and z.

6.7 Two letters, same sound (sometimes). The c is in words like cent and city. The s letter always has the same sound. This sound can be challenging as some issues with the sound include a lisp (when the tongue is not placed correctly) and a silibant s, when the sound is carried on for too long. Sometimes the reasons for these issues can be physiological and can’t be fully fixed. If you are worried, see your doctor or speech language therapist.

6.8 3 letters and very similar sounds. These sounds are made at the back of our throat so can be difficult to achieve because we can’t see how to make the sound back there.

6.9 You need your teeth and tongue for this sound that pop off for a nice clear sound. In the middle and at the end of words when you see a T or D, make sure you say them clearly.

6.10 This sounds similar to MM but 2 quite different sounds that are formed with different parts of our face. Good to learn so both are clear.

6.11 This sound can be challenging and if learned incorrectly it can sound like a W. Make sure you practise the tongue placement videos before learning this.

6.12 This letter can also sound like a G (giraffe) and DGE (hedge) so learn this sound and you will cover 3!

6.13 NEVER to be articulated as an F or V. Learn the technique for this sound and it may become the most important technique you learn out of all of them.

6.14 This is in words like, Brown. Learning this blend will mean you won’t end up saying ‘bwown’ by mistake.

6.15 Not technically a blend but this sound is in many words like shout, shut. And sometimes only the s sound is articulated so get this sound out as SHHHHH, not sssss, like a hiss.

6.16 You need this sound for words such as blue, blond, black. Getting the L sound first is key.
