1 00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:04,890 The next two sounds are these two vowel 2 00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:04,890 sounds: 3 00:00:04,890 --> 00:00:21,619 // as in 'boy' and /a/ as in 'cow' So these two vowel sounds are both two vowels 4 00:00:21,619 --> 00:00:29,519 squeezed together. As we've seen before, 5 00:00:21,619 --> 00:00:29,519 when we make these sounds the shape of 6 00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:36,210 our lips and mouth changes in the middle 7 00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:36,210 of the sound. So the first sound 8 00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:48,079 // // as in 'boy' look at the shape of my mouth and notice how it changes // // 9 00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:55,060 It starts round and it finishes slightly 10 00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:55,060 wide. 11 00:00:55,060 --> 00:01:04,170 // // Can you see that? Boy. The second vowel, on the other hand, starts like this 12 00:01:04,170 --> 00:01:10,439 /a/ /a/ /a/ So it starts quite wide and it finishes 13 00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:19,520 round. /a/ /a/ 14 00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:19,520 cow cow. So it finishes with the lips 15 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:28,890 rounded. The first one, boy, the second 16 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:28,890 one, cow. Now, let's look at the target 17 00:01:28,890 --> 00:01:41,810 sound practice for the first vowel // // Remember // starts rounded and 18 00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:52,610 finishes slightly wide on the mouth // 19 00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:52,610 So listen and repeat each word after me. 20 00:01:52,610 --> 00:02:05,869 Boy. Enjoy. Annoy. Boiling. 21 00:02:06,170 --> 00:02:22,900 Royal. Noisy. Employer. Appointment. Coins. 22 00:02:23,530 --> 00:02:33,220 OK, very well done. That was the first 23 00:02:23,530 --> 00:02:33,220 vowel sound. Now the second one /a/ /a/ 24 00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:40,100 This sounds just like when we hurt 25 00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:40,100 ourselves, we say, "Ow!" It's exactly the 26 00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:46,730 same sound /a/ 27 00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:46,730 For example, "Ow! I hurt my knee." Or, 28 00:02:46,730 --> 00:02:55,570 "Ow! You banged my finger." /a/ 29 00:02:46,730 --> 00:02:55,570 as in cow. So notice the shape again. /a/ 30 00:02:55,570 --> 00:03:04,880 Starts wide and finishes rounded. /a/ 31 00:02:55,570 --> 00:03:04,880 Let's look at the target sound practice 32 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:27,730 words for this sound. Listen and repeat 33 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:27,730 each word after me. Now. South. Round. Town. 34 00:03:28,150 --> 00:03:44,380 Pronounce. Shout. Houses. Brown. Mountains. 35 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:52,000 OK, fantastic. The shape of the mouth 36 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:52,000 is important with these two vowel sounds. 37 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,030 Remember in the next video you can see a close-up of my mouth making the sounds. 38 00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:03,049 So if they are a little difficult don't 39 00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:03,049 worry. 40 00:04:03,049 --> 00:04:09,560 Move on to the next video once you 41 00:04:03,049 --> 00:04:09,560 finish this and notice the shape of the 42 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:16,580 mouth. Look very closely and start to 43 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:16,580 mimic how I shape my mouth when I 44 00:04:16,580 --> 00:04:21,739 produce these sounds. Let's look at the minimal pairs. This 45 00:04:21,739 --> 00:04:27,800 will make the two sounds a lot clearer 46 00:04:21,739 --> 00:04:27,800 for you. On the left we have the words 47 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:35,139 containing // and on the right we have 48 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:35,139 the words containing /a/ 49 00:04:35,139 --> 00:04:55,479 So listen to each pair and repeat them 50 00:04:35,139 --> 00:04:55,479 after me. Boy, bow. Coy, cow. Lloyd, 51 00:04:55,479 --> 00:05:23,090 loud. Roy, row. Boils, bowels. Oil, owl. OK, well done, fantastic. Finally let's look 52 00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:30,950 at the target sound in use. Remember, use these sentences to really start to 53 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:37,550 practice the sound in use. It's good to 54 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:37,550 read the word list and listen to the 55 00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:44,300 word list but when you have the sound in 56 00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:44,300 use, it's a lot more natural. You can 57 00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:51,080 speak at a natural speed and you can 58 00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:51,080 combine it with other sounds as well. So 59 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:58,940 use these sentences for practicing the 60 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:58,940 target sounds. Sentence one we're 61 00:05:58,940 --> 00:06:07,580 focusing on the // sound. Listen and 62 00:05:58,940 --> 00:06:07,580 repeat. The boy lost his toys and got 63 00:06:07,580 --> 00:06:22,820 very annoyed. Sentence two we're focusing on the /a/ sound. These brown cows make 64 00:06:22,820 --> 00:06:26,680 really loud sounds. 65 00:06:29,190 --> 00:06:38,020 And sentence three is a mix of the 66 00:06:29,190 --> 00:06:38,020 two target sounds. Roy found some old 67 00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:51,030 round coins while we were walking down 68 00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:51,030 the mountain. OK, fantastic, well done. 69 00:06:51,030 --> 00:07:00,360 As always, download the extra resources. Take your time when mastering the target sounds. 70 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:07,360 Always notice the spelling, as I've said before. This is very very important. 71 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,660 I'll see you in the next lecture.
