    DIPHTHONGS

    is a vowel-sound containing two elements, during


    the articulation of which the tongue, jaws and lips
    change their position. In all English diphthongs the
    first element is considerably stronger than the
    second.
    Eɪ
    The first element in [ei] is produced with the jaws closer together
    than for the monophthong [e]

    Examples:
    eight, date, gate, late, main, mate, pain, face, space, rain , case,
    eight
    Aɪ 
    For the first element the jaws are farther apart than for the
    vowel [æ]. Be sure that the second element is not [i:] as in
    "bead"[bi:], but a sound between [i] as in "bid" and [e] as in
    "bed" [bed]. The second element is extremely short.
    Examples:
    my, nine, reply, rise, climb, wine, arrive, sight, pride, kind, flight 
    Ɔɪ 
    For the first element the jaws are far apart and the lips
    are openly rounded.
    Examples:
    noise, annoying, boil, enjoy, appointment, joy, employ,
    toy, coil, oyster
    AƱ 
    For the first element see the preceding description. Be sure that
    the [a] is not pronounced with a too "dark" a.

    Examples:
    now, foul, crown, brown, fountain, doubt,  mouth, house, brown,
    cow, out 
    ƏƱ 
    no, coast, coat, code, holy, hope, own, road,
    won’t, don’t, stones, alone, hole
    ɪƏ 
    the jaws should not be too close together, nor the lips too tensely
    spread. During the articulation the jaws open slightly.

    Examples:
    beer, cheers, dear, fear, here, peer, tear, near, ear, clear, tear, beer,
    fear 
    EƏ 

    the jaws are quite far apart and the lips are laxly spread. During
    the articulation of the sound the jaws open slightly.

    Examples:
    bear, chairs, dare, hair, pair, tear, care, stairs
    ƱƏ

    tour, sure, pure, cure, during, newer, curious,


    1. Eight mates ate their straight weight in bait at the fete.

    2. Be sure your cure is pure.

    3. Boy of troy your coy ploy was a joy.

    4. Oh no, who knows about the dough, oh no, whoa there’s snow.

    5. There’s hair in the air, they’re sharing a glare with the hare and the bear.

    6. I spy with my little eye, a pirate saying aye, aye, aye.

    7. The cow bowed now at the slow through the plough. Bow cow wow.
