Study Notes

Vowel Sounds

A long vowel sound is when a vowel is pronounced for a longer duration, often resembling the vowel sound when pronounced alone.
A short vowel sound is when a vowel is pronounced for a shorter duration, often changing the sound of the vowel.

Challenges in Pronouncing Short Vowel Sounds

One challenge when pronouncing short vowel sounds is the variations in pronunciation depending on the word and its context.

Phonetic Alphabet

In the phonetic alphabet, a long vowel sound is written with a horizontal line above the vowel letter, for example, ā for a long "a" sound.
In the phonetic alphabet, a short vowel sound is written without any diacritical marks, for example, a for a short "a" sound.
