Lessons Unit 1, lesson 43

j as in yes

One consonant, on its own page. Hear it, watch where it sits in each word's sheet, then say the words yourself.

jthe y in yes

A very quick ee that glides into the next vowel: y — yes, you. Start high and let it slide.

ˈj y ɛ e s s
yes
j y ou
you
ˈj y ʌ ou ŋ ng
young
ˈj y ɪ ea ɹ r
year

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.

ˈj y ɛ e l ll ow
yellow
ˈj y ɑː a ɹ r d d
yard
ˈj y ɛ e t t
yet
ˈk c juː u t t e
cute
ˈfj f ew
few
ˈm m juː u z s ɪ i k c
music
