American English vowel sounds are difficult for second language learners because
English has no clear sound-spelling relationship. Five vowel letters and their different
combinations create 15 vowel sounds. Most vowel sounds are spelled many different
ways. For example, the I sound, as in pink, may be spelled “ee” as in been, “i”
as in sit, “o” as in women, “u” as in busy, “ui” as in guitar, or “y” as in system!
And, some identical letter combinations are pronounced differently.
Is ERnie an attORney? was designed by professional pronunciation
trainers and will help non-native speakers to master the English vowels. Is ERnie
an attORney? is distributed by www.americanspeechsounds.com
