(vowel) “a” & “e” . vowel , .

“e” :

 

1.    ”e” (, don’t know why).  Similar to    Often, double “ee” or “ea” .  ”e”, , smile.

e.g., easy, east, eat, beat, bee, be, fee, feast, yeast, beast, keep, beep, need, meet, meat, least, cease, etc.

Ea=ee, .

2-1. , ”e” ”v”, similar to “ (ai).

Bed, met, kept, slept, test, etc.

2-2. , ”U” ”V”,û ,    similar to  

e.g. early, earth, heard, earn, etc.

I could not tell the difference between û and ”e” (one of the “a” sounds, see below), who can? Californians cannot. My speech pathologist said that New Yokers can, maybe.

By the way, people in the East coast claim that they speak a more standard English than us Californians because they arrive at America first. But, I like Californian accent. Californian girls talks so sweetly. 

 “a” :

1. . ”a”,    It’s easy, abc a. .

     e.g., age, base; case, date, face, gate, hate, jail, waste, vacation, etc.

2.

2-1. Yinbiao?   similar to     (Mama), (Baba).

e.g., bar, fast, park, vast, class, glass, hash, last, etc.

2-2. ”a””V”,   It is difficult.  . ” (An), . ”a””V” , 使, “U” , “R”, ,. . . , “e” , !!!

e.g., apple, bad, back, ambulance, rats, hat, had, ask, valley, salad, balance, half (L, trust me) etc.

Europeans Ask sk”, Half  

Our governor ”California” fornia”, , British quality, nothing wrong with it.

Tomorrow morning, read these words to your American colleagues. Ask them if your pronunciation is close enough.

2-3. ”e”, similar to  

e.g., salad, Balance, etc.

Then, read following sentences:

I had to ask him how to keep these apples fresh.

 

I had a bad dream last night.

These rats are sleeping in their bed.

Half of this is done.

California produces good quality apples and oranges?

I had salad for lunch.
