how do u say the vowels a e i o u and sometimes y

Question

I know how to pronounce the vowels but I cannot remembee how to say and sometimes y

Answer 1

In Spanish would be: a= the vowel sound you have in "cut"

No! In cut, the tongue is more elevated and placed much higher,

e= The vowel sound you have in "head"

No! The tongue should be slightly more elevated and front.

i= The vowel sound you have in "fish"

No! The tongue should be slightly more elevated and front.

o= The vowel sound you have in "dog"

No! In American English, the vowel in "dog" is closer to the Spanish a. The tongue should be placed much more forward.

u= The vowel sound you have in "look"

Not quite, but close. The sound in moon is the same, but longer than in Spanish.

I bet you could say all of the vowel sounds in either language with your tongue in the same position on the floor of your mouth. - lorenzo9, Aug 29, 2011

Answer 2

It's a little unclear, but I think original poster is asking how to say "and sometimes y." The poster clearly states that they know how to pronounce the vowels.

Answer 4

In English or Spanish?

In Spanish would be: a= the vowel sound you have in "cut" e= The vowel sound you have in "head" i= The vowel sound you have in "fish" o= The vowel sound you have in "dog" u= The vowel sound you have in "look"

In English (language I'm learning) I try to remember them using the following: a= I start saying the alphabet, knowing that it is the first letter e= I think of the movie E.T i= I think of the pronoun I o and u I remember because they are similar to the Spanish ones.

Hope it helps!
