/I:/ se pronuncia con la boca más cerrada que /i/

[ThePrinceska]

i cant move my lips like this, for example when i say sick and seek - i make exactly the same sound... ;/;/ HELP! ;/

[Googielka]

@ThePrinceska ten dzwiek brzmi jak nasze polskie "Y" czyli jak mowisz sick bedzie to brzmiec "syk" . Seek natomiast jak nasze polske " i" czyli "sik" tylko tak troche dluzej te "i" wyciagnij :-) tak samo np "hit" brzmiec bedzie "hyt" a "heat" - "hit" Pozdrawiam

[sarahgomezish]

 /i/ and /i:/ sounds the same right?

[moosly25]

@sarahgomezish /i:/ cuando lo pronuncias es mas largo mientras que /i/ es corto :D

[sarahgomezish]

@moosly25 i don't understand

[moosly25]

@sarahgomezish /i:/ = 'long' ; /i/ = 'short' ... the pronunciation is the same that's all!

[sarahgomezish]

@moosly25 thanks

[belleberstinge]

@moosly25 No, moosely. When you pronounce the long i vowel, you hold your jaw slightly closer to the upper half of your mouth than when you pronounce the short i sound. For example, the short i in hit is somewhere between the neutral u in furniture and the long i in heat.

[moosly25]

@belleberstinge Thank you a lot! :D

nice

[JanaSklibova]

Please, don't you have videos or mp3s with longer sentences? For example: "I can think of six thin things but I can think of sick thick things too." etc. Just to practise sounds in sentences. THANK YOU.
