because today we're going to practice all those naughty little monothongs so come on let's get started so we're going to begin with two of the long vowel sounds but before we do let's do a few lip trills probably a good idea to make sure no one's listening at the moment we do them like this don't laugh don't worry you'll get better at it but this gets your lips voice and mouth warmed up okay let's begin e and ooh watch my mouth when i glide between the two sounds can you see that my mouth is spread like a smile for e with my jaws close together and then it changes to full lip rounding with the jaw lowering like i'm blowing a kiss like this ooh but where's the tongue i hear you say well the tongue is forward for e and comes back for ooh watch this e oh now you try take a deep breath ew got it if not practice until you have if these sounds are new to you you're probably using muscles you've never used before now let's put them into two words these are the most common words in english please and thank you please and thank you can you hear it okay so now we have those sounds let's practice the short sounds so why these well they are almost the same as the long sounds e and ooh but just shorter the tongue and the mouth and jaw do exactly the same thing as before watch and listen now you try how was that okay now let's try e and e followed by e can you see what's happening the only change is when i open my mouth wider for e the tongue stays the same now you try after me say it now let's put them into a short sentence bees live everywhere bees live everywhere so let's move on to the long vowel sound er this time relax your tongue and jaw and lips like this just let go and relax now say the word bird bird it sounds better when you relax everything now say this short sentence i'm as free as a bird i'm as free as a bird so now you've practiced er we're going to move on to the schwa sound say uh the schwa sound is very short and has very little energy the only difference is er is long and uh is short simple the schwa sound is one of the most common sounds in the english language listen out for it in everyday english conversation it's used instead of the vowel sound in unstressed words and in unstressed syllables like this black and white not black and white he's taller than me not he's taller than me he's taller than me can you hear it now prepare yourselves for the sound ah this is the sound your doctor asks you to make when he looks down your throat like this ah why is that well it's because when you make this sound you are physically opening your throat so much that the doctor can see you right down so now you know now you try open your mouth quite wide with your lips open but relaxed put your tongue down and make sure it's not sticking out but stays inside like this ah got it good so now from here we go to the sound ah everything inside your mouth stays the same including your mouth shape watch this so now we move on again to the sound ah everything stays the same but your lips slightly widen like you're laughing like this that's terrible whatever you do don't laugh like that will you anyway you do it now say this sentence ask him for that one did you hear it the word that is stressed in this sentence so you can hear the sound okay so we're nearly there now let's try the long sound or with this one go from ooh to or like this or round the lips and push them forward for ooh with your jaws close together and the tongue is back and then to say or just open your mouth more your jaws should be a little wider apart like this from here make the sound or sound short like this notice the jaw opens a little more but the lips are more relaxed now say these short sentences two more boxes please haven't you got enough boxes no i'd like two more please how was that okay you can always go back and practice a bit more until it's perfect so you think you've cracked it yeah well let's just see how you do with
