After an extensive search, I finally found a clear and effective explanation. Thank you both.
Ok, I am a native English speaker and I was looking for a video like this to help my Spanish speaking friend learning English... And can I say that this video is just spot on!! I for real didn't even realize some of these rules myself (so I learned something new lol) but I these ladies are so clear, descriptive, and fun! Great work, very helpful! 👏🏻
Thanks! We're glad to hear it!
I'm 72 years old; and I was looking at the girls in English class instead of listening to the teacher. Oh how much I have learned. When two vowels are together; the first one does the talking; and the second one is silent. Thank you SO-O-O Much Now I can get Bach to the girls (LOL).
I started laughing after the test because I didn't believe I will understand vowel sound as easy as you two did. Thank you very much ❤❤
The most clear explanation I have ever seen. You are both amazing! ❤❤
Good lord. Where were you when i was in high school. If i had had you as english teachers. Those classes would have rocked
aw, thanks! We hope our current students think our classes rock! 😂
I love the rhymes she's a quick wit.
Very well done. I needed a video to explain this concept in a simple way to adult Spanish speakers. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
That's great! We love hearing that other teachers find our materials useful.
muchasgracias, yo estoy aprendiend igles y me sirvio mucho entender estas rreglas, ojala hubieran mas videos asi
Loved this video ! Can you make a video explaining some exceptions to these rules ? Thank you !!

That's great, thanks!

Clear, simple and very effective. Thanks a lot
I think telling these rules is a brilliant idea, but learning them is a tough journey. Especially for nonnative English speakers, it isn't an easier task to learn at all. But thank you for sharing this, it is a meaningful, a helpful, and a productive lesson especially learning the long and the short vowel. I wish to see more.
Yes, it's so true that learning these things is a very difficult task! We're glad you found this video helpful though, and good luck!
Practice, thank you for your response.it would be a great idea if you can bring more words with long and short sound.
Thank for the excellent video
Great explanation. Thank you ladys.
Amazing way of simplifying things. Chapeau

You ladies are awesome. Not being a native speaker, I was having the most difficult time explaining short and long vowel sounds to my son who is in 1st grade. We are both learning from your videos.
That's great! We are glad you can learn together from our videos!

My goodness!!! You are so helpful thank you very much. Your videos looks like they are made for me. My biggest obstacles in learning English are gone thanks to you. Thank youuuuuuuuuu
You are so welcome! We're glad we could help!
Very fantastic
very nice and easy rules
Great!
Absolutely excellent. The way you guys have put this video together is on another level compared to similar ones on TH-cam.
Thank you!
It was one of the most useful courses I've ever had, so much new thing to learn, thanks.
Amazing trick
Good work
Thanks
You're great!, I loved this video and I found it so clear and useful. I'm an English teacher but not a native speaker, and I'm always looking for the way my practice can be improved. And also how to improve myself.
Thanks a lot😊
You're welcome! We're so glad we can help. 😊
Very good
As a Spanish speaker, I have a little difficulty finding the difference between the short sounds. To me, The short "a" and the short ""o" and "u" have the same short sound. Is that right? Could you eventually make a video about clarifying the difference between these short sounds? Once again you are fantastic!
Good point - the difference between the short a, e, o and u sounds is subtle. Many learners of English have difficulty hearing the difference, especially between a/e (man / men) and o/u (cop / cup). We do have a video about the first one, ( th-cam.com/video/L8ZHr2Jdzk0/w-d-xo.html ) but we will be happy to make one about the second.
It is the same problem for us "Italians"!
Here is a video comparing the short O and U sounds. th-cam.com/video/Ln5_w2NxhxM/w-d-xo.html
This one focuses on the short A and E sounds. th-cam.com/video/L8ZHr2Jdzk0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks dears illike it
Thank you ❤❤❤
Love, love, love your videos! I am in the throws of becoming an ESL teacher and these have been so helpful! Any more on vowels? Thanks so much!
Love your video.
Thanks!
Thanks for you you are good teachers
Thanks!
Thanks a lot, you are so helpful.
We're glad you found it useful.
Soap soup. When 2 vowels are walking the second does the talking.
Yes, unfortunately for learners, English is full of exceptions !
👍
@@ExtraEnglishPractice I like your videos. Intelligent and beautiful women
I like you guys, you are fantastic teacher
Thanks!
Amazing
Thanks you are very clear
We're glad we can help!
i know how the following words are pronounced but...
Could you explain WHY the vowels are long and short in the following words for me...I'm a little stumped!
Alias
Bilirubin vs Bilingual
Yellow vs Yacht
Ice Cream vs Igloo vs Alias
(when do we use the i to be long, short, and as Ee?)
Although we use the word "rules" in the video, they are really just patterns. English pronunciation is complicated.
Sometimes words come from other languages and maintain some of the original pronunciation features (ex. alias is from Latin).
Sometimes a prefix or suffix is involved (ex. bilingual -> similar to bicycle)
Sometimes a says "aw" as in father (ex. yacht).
As for ice cream and igloo, they do follow the patterns --> ice = magic e; igloo =single vowel in a syllable is short (CVC without the initial C)
Genius Ladies. Your Way of teaching makes a difference.
Please solve my one pronunciation problem.
Woman = Womin
Women = Wimin
In first a changed to i
in second a and e changed to i
why????
What rules of pronunciation apply above.
There's no real rule here. This word is just one of many exceptions, unfortunately!
This is english pronunciation made simple, great work. Thank you!
Thanks! We're glad you like it.
Splendid video please make more video :)
Thank you, we will!
This is very useful video
Glad you think so!
WOW! you two are amazing. More material for my classes. Thanks a lot !
Thanks! We're always happy to hear that teachers find our materials useful!
An amazing lesson!Also,I'm so attracted to z girl in red kkkk
Awesome video Ma'am thanks.
Love from India.
Hi, I love this video and I hope to improve m'y English here. I don't understood (in 12:04) why "paid" and "meet" don't contain a long vowel sound.
Great question. Paid and meet do both contain a long vowel sound. However, if you follow these words, you cannot finish the maze.
@@ExtraEnglishPractice Ok. I hadn't paid attention to the rules of the game. Thank you😉
I really like your video
thanks!
I love you guys. Please make more videos! They are very helpful.
Thanks! We will!
Excellent way of teaching
Thanks a lot,
You're welcome!
I really loved your video!!!! I would like you to do the second part!!!!
Thanks, Maritza! What do you think should be in the second part?
Extra English Practice , ok i said long phrases, and more rules about this topic. Because sometimes the sound of some diphthongs is different (au, ow, ea, ay, ...and so on), and i saw in the dictionary and at the beginnig of a vowel sounds different ( in case of the vowel "a" sometimes has ae o shwa sound). I hope this be clear
Those are great ideas, Maritza. Thanks! We'll work on it.
Or maybe to do a section how the teacher teach kids to read. It can be more useful. Letter by letter 😇
How about the word geology? Both vowels are pronounced. Is it an exception to the rule? Or is a word which happens to belong to a different rule/category?
The CVVC rule is the least reliable of the 3 vowel rules in the video. There are many exceptions to it.
-ology is a suffix. It will be pronounced as ology, regardless of what comes before it.
Wow wow im so impressed, I was looking for this kinda lesson. Thanks a lot for this video😍 lots of love from Indonesia🇮🇩
You're welcome! We're glad you like it.
Thanks ladies
Really they are very good teacher,I had lots of dought,but now everything is clear. Thanks
We're glad to hear this!
@@ExtraEnglishPractice is there any online courses for spoken English?I want to join, thanks
At the moment, we have one. It's a conversation course. You can find details here: extraenglishpractice/courses.
excuse me .. i'm not a native speaker of english ..but i'm still learning english could you help me what about more than 2 vowel letters in 1 word like " scientific or biodegradable" are they spoken with complete of long vowel sounds /short vowel sounds or is there any rule again to speak like those words ? thank you before :)
Yes, there are words where there are two vowels together, and both are spoken. Unfortunately, I've never heard of a rule to explain or predict this. Some other examples are theatre, bias, diagram, triumph, create, coordinate, geology, etc.
Thank u
Hi there , I have a question that about the third rule if more then 2 vowel come one time so what should we speak ??
The third rule only works for 2 vowels together. Even then, sometimes it doesn't work. Ex. bread = short e, plaid = short a
In English, rules should be called patterns, and we should remember there are always exceptions.
Do you have specific words in mind, bandim?
Yes just like beautiful and quiet and so many word have just like this 3 or 4 vowel in a row
I'm afraid you're going to have to learn each one separately.
Here's one hint: often, if you consider the QU in a word to be one sound (/kw/), the rest of the word follows the rules. Quiet is an exception. (Queen = rule 3, quick = rule 1, square = rule 2, quail = rule 3)
i like everthin you guys shiwed us in this video specifiquelly
when tow vowels go walking the first one i does the talking .
Great, thanks!
Professional! Your videos are absolutely marvellous: short, up to the point, cheerful and easy to remember. My students love them! Thank you!
