Lessons Unit 1, lesson 12

aɪ as in my

One long vowel, on its own page. The ː mark means hold it — hear it alone, then in the words, then say them yourself.

the i in my

Open wide on ah and glide up to ee: my, time. Your jaw closes as the sound rises.

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.
