Learning IPA: English Vowel Practice

Hi students,

For those of you who are interested in learning the IPA symbols (phonemic symbols for English pronunciation) for English sounds, I will post video tutorials and practice on the blog each week.
If at any time you have a question about the tutorials (videos) or practice exercises, please feel free to visit me during my office hours (3:30-4:30 M-Th.).

For the next three weeks, I will post tutorials on English vowels. This week, there are three tutorials (35 minutes total). The first is a general introduction to how we pronounce English vowels.  You do not have to watch the first video, but it is recommended that you watch it.  Tutorials two and three focus on front vowels English. You can complete practice activities after you have watched the third tutorial. Good luck! And let me know if y you have any questions!
