Transcript

Today we’re picking back up on our work on diphthongs from last season (episode 42, “Beer or bear”). This time, we’re looking at just one /ɪ/ diphthongs, /eɪ/ so, this one ends in the /ɪ/ sound which we’ve spoken about in episodes 25 (“Cheap as chips” and 41 “The left lift”), and begins with the short /e/ sounds that we’ve looked at episode 3 “Man or men”, and again 41 “The left lift”, as well as in this series in episode 48 “Very varied”.
