VOWEL SOUNDS


What is a vowel sound? 


It is a sound in which there is a continuous vibration of the vocal folds and the airstream is allowed to escape from the mouth in an unobstructed manner, without any interruption.





Vowel classification

~TONGUE HEIGHT: It refers to how high or low our tongue is.

~TONGUE POSITION: When we make a vowel sound, our tongue is in a specific position inside our mouth.

~LIP ROUNDING: It refers to the position of our lips, when we make the vowel sounds.

~LENGTH: The first one is longer.
