Ok, I am a native English speaker and I was looking for a video like this to help my Spanish speaking friend learning English... And can I say that this video is just spot on!! I for real didn't even realize some of these rules myself (so I learned something new lol) but I these ladies are so clear, descriptive, and fun! Great work, very helpful! 👏🏻

I'm 72 years old; and I was looking at the girls in English class instead of listening to the teacher. Oh how much I have learned. When two vowels are together; the first one does the talking; and the second one is silent. Thank you SO-O-O Much Now I can get Bach to the girls (LOL).

But thank you for sharing this, it is a meaningful, a helpful, and a productive lesson especially learning the long and the short vowel. I wish to see more.

How about the word geology? Both vowels are pronounced. Is it an exception to the rule? Or is a word which happens to belong to a different rule/category?

@ExtraEnglishPractice 5 жыл бұрын

The CVVC rule is the least reliable of the 3 vowel rules in the video. There are many exceptions to it. -ology is a suffix. It will be pronounced as ology, regardless of what comes before it.

@ONELIFEFILMSSTUDIOTV 6 жыл бұрын

As a Spanish speaker, I have a little difficulty finding the difference between the short sounds. To me, The short "a" and the short ""o" and "u" have the same short sound. Is that right? Could you eventually make a video about clarifying the difference between these short sounds? Once again you are fantastic!

@ExtraEnglishPractice 6 жыл бұрын

Good point - the difference between the short a, e, o and u sounds is subtle. Many learners of English have difficulty hearing the difference, especially between a/e (man / men) and o/u (cop / cup). We do have a video about the first one, ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gp6Ke9Vjr8rem2Q.html ) but we will be happy to make one about the second.

i know how the following words are pronounced but... Could you explain WHY the vowels are long and short in the following words for me...I'm a little stumped! Alias Bilirubin vs Bilingual Yellow vs Yacht Ice Cream vs Igloo vs Alias (when do we use the i to be long, short, and as Ee?)

@ExtraEnglishPractice 5 жыл бұрын

Although we use the word "rules" in the video, they are really just patterns. English pronunciation is complicated. Sometimes words come from other languages and maintain some of the original pronunciation features (ex. alias is from Latin). Sometimes a prefix or suffix is involved (ex. bilingual -> similar to bicycle) Sometimes a says "aw" as in father (ex. yacht). As for ice cream and igloo, they do follow the patterns --> ice = magic e; igloo =single vowel in a syllable is short (CVC without the initial C)

The third rule only works for 2 vowels together. Even then, sometimes it doesn't work. Ex. bread = short e, plaid = short a In English, rules should be called patterns, and we should remember there are always exceptions.

@ExtraEnglishPractice 5 жыл бұрын

I'm afraid you're going to have to learn each one separately. Here's one hint: often, if you consider the QU in a word to be one sound (/kw/), the rest of the word follows the rules. Quiet is an exception. (Queen = rule 3, quick = rule 1, square = rule 2, quail = rule 3)
