This video covers the pronunciation of simple vowels (also known as monophthongs), including:
-[ɑ] as in spa
-[æ] as in bat
-[ɔ] as in the first syllable of autumn
-[ɛ] as in bet
-[ʊ] as in put
-[ʌ] as in putt
-[u] as in food
-[ɪ] as in bin
-[i] as in bean
-[ə] as in the first syllable of about

Please let me know if you could not understand something I said or if you need more help on any of these vowels! Also, if you have any questions about English or linguistics, feel free to write me and ask them, and I will do my best to answer! Thanks for watching!

hi. I have quick question for you about the word- crush. Is there 2 syllabills in this word crush? I learning english and i don't understand this word. please could you make a video thankyou. :-)

@TheTankDuffy There's only one syllable in the word 'crush' (usually, if there's only one vowel, then there's only one syllable). What's your native language? Maybe I can explain the pronunciation better if I know that.

Firstly, congrats on you new job there!

n, hmm, in my opinion, you're like teaching right in front of me. You do it in very natural way - just like having my private Native English tutor speaking ahead of me. Great! Besides, your teaching method is perfectly practical and alive, especially while comparing vowels, n also the way you teach itself - simply like a cute native speaker ^^. Since i've just found you on youtube, i'm wondering if you have lesson on intonation, a tricky lsson on speaking.

Congratulation on your new job!! Just slow down, ELL will not understand the cascade of words you are pouring out especially when they just have begun their adventure with the language:)

[TheTankDuffy]

thankyou. I come from france, i study english on the internet. If you have time, can you make a video, if you please, pronoucing the word 'crush', as i wish to know how to say it properly. I do not understand maybe the 'sh' part of 'crush'. Or if you know of video on youtube explaining 'crush' as maybe you are not able to make video. Thankyou :-)
