Learning Video: Sorting Long and Short Vowels

  1. Videos
  2. Sorting Long and Short Vowels

Vowels mark the beginning of learning different words in pre-primary and primary classes. Kids should be taught these with utter vitality since they are one of the pillars of creating the foundation of English grammar.

In most cases, all the five vowels are spoken the same way, having the same sound; a, e, i, o, u. They all require the same tongue movement. But in this video, you will learn about long and short vowels and how to differentiate between the two.

Daughter's favorite

Still a top favorite for our 7 year old. She loves earning her stars as she learns to trace letters and numbers. Coloring and the sounds are engaging and are on target for her age group and being Pre K.

Phonetics is the science of sounds. You can read about it for a very long time, but what's the point of reading when you need to hear, distinguish and pronounce these same sounds? And of course, it's best when you repeat after the so-called 'native speaker' (native speaker). No offense to Russian-speaking teachers will be said, but still our speech apparatus is used to extract Russian sounds from birth. And in order to reconfigure it in an English way, it takes a lot of effort and time, which teachers often do not have enough of. nine0015

That's why we've put together short tutorial videos on English sounds from the BBC for you. This block is dedicated to long and short vowels. Just listen to them and repeat as many times as you can.

      Long and short vowels in German

      Wie geht’s, Leute? With you again Christoph. Well, I hope people still read me who saw where my blog started, because today we decided to return to one of our old topics. You guessed it, this topic is German pronunciation and how to achieve the perfect German accent. Increasingly, people are enrolling in our classes who complain that they have been living in Germany for a long time, but nevertheless experience difficulties in communicating with the locals. When I begin to communicate with these people myself, I find that, as a rule, in terms of grammar and vocabulary, their German is almost flawless. But in terms of pronunciation - not always. nine0015

      In this video, I decided to analyze one of the most subtle mistakes in German pronunciation, which, nevertheless, is considered very rude by the Germans. This is the length and shortness of the pronunciation of vowels. How do they differ and why is it so important to be able to pronounce them correctly? This is what today's article will be about. But before starting, be sure to watch our video, where we sort out in practice the difference between long and short vowels in German.

      So, as you understand, the length and brevity of pronunciation is one of the features of the pronunciation of German vowels. Simply put, almost all German vowels exist in two versions: long and short. Why is this needed? Well, it's simple. The fact is that depending on the brevity or length of the sound, you can completely change the meaning of the German word. Don't believe? Here are some real life examples for you. If in the phrase Mühlbergstraße the combination üh is pronounced short, and not long, then instead of Mühl (Russian mill), you get Müll (Russian garbage). Would you like to live on the street on a garbage mountain? That's what I wouldn't want! nine0015

      As you can see, on the example of a simple everyday situation, by changing the length of the sound, we get completely different words and a complete misunderstanding on the part of the Germans! In Russian, vowels do not differ in length and shortness, therefore, in place of long vowels, Russians, as a rule, use the usual short versions of these sounds. This leads not only to an accent, but sometimes to complete embarrassment.

      Well, sort of, we figured out the theory. Now let's go through the main pairs of long and short vowels and analyze their correct pronunciation. nine0015

      German vowels [ɔ] and [o:]

      The first pair is short and long “o”. First, let's deal with the short version, because it is more or less similar to Russian. To pronounce the sound [ɔ], you need:

      • round and tighten the lips,
      • move the tongue back a little,
      • lower the lower jaw slightly.

      Examples : der Onkel, voll, hoffen.

      The long version of this sound differs from the short one in that when it is pronounced, the lips are more pushed forward and slightly relaxed. In addition to open syllables, the long “o” is also pronounced in combinations such as oh and oo.

      Examples : der Hof, wohl, das Boot.

      The long version of this sound differs from the short one in that when it is pronounced, the lips are more pushed forward and slightly relaxed. In addition to open syllables, the long “o” is also pronounced in combinations such as oh and oo.

      Examples : der Hof, wohl, das Boot.

      German vowels [ɛ] and [ɛ:]

      These sounds are somewhat similar to the Russian sound “e”, but still have some differences in articulation.
