Lessons Unit 1, lesson 1
æ as in cat
One short vowel, on its own page. It is quick and clipped — hear it alone, then find it inside each word below, then say the words yourself.
æthe a in cat
Open your mouth wide and smile a little. It's short and flat: a, a — cat. Your jaw drops more than you think it should.
Now say it yourself
Read each word from its sheet, out loud, three times. Where there's a play button, listen first and copy what you hear. Slow is fine — clear beats fast.
