8. True or false?
• English speakers use twelve pure vowels
• Vowels are differentiated from the
consonants by their position of the tongue
and the lips
• Lip positions for vowel production can be
rounded and neutral
9. • While vowels are produced with the help
of many organs, consonants depend only
on the position of the tongue and the lips
• The position of the tongue and the lips
allow for a great amount of variation
enabling us to voice many more than the
familiar five vowels.
10. • English has eight diphthongs

tongue high, keeping it in the middle or
low in the mouth

be short or long

open vowels

touch upper molars (key. cheese, scene, police,

hit, sausage)
• Lips rounded, tongue relaxed, gorilla noise (book,
good, woman, push, pull)
• Lips rounded, tongue tense, use a rising and
falling intonation (food, rude, true, who, fruit)
13. MID VOWELS
• Lips loosely spread, tongue tenser than for
i: (egg, left, said, head)
• Lips relaxed and neutrally spread, as
though you were completely exhausted
(about- paper- banana, nation)
• Lips relaxed and neutrally spread (shirt,
her, word, further)
• Lips loosely rounded (fork, call, snore,
taught)
14. OPEN VOWELS
• Lips neutrally open (hat, attack,
antique)
• Lips neutrally open (run, uncle,
front, nourish, does)
