Cheap as Chips! The /ɪ/ and /i:/ sounds in English
About this episode
Welcome to season 3 of English Sound Building! To start season 3, we’re looking at a real classic: the difference between the short vowel /ɪ/ and the long vowel /i:/. We practise the sounds individually in words and sentences, in minimal pairs, and in some mixed sentences at the end.
Practise as often as you can to build muscle memory, and make sure you subscribe so you don't miss the next one.
