Beginner Lesson 3
Creation - Day 2
Speaking Exercise
New! Pronunciation Practice
Y at the end of a short word
Let’s practice speaking in English with a new pronunciation lesson! In this Bible verse, we see the word sky. This word has 1 syllable. It ends with a consonant and the letter y. The y is pronounced as a long i. Watch this pronunciation video to help you learn how to pronounce long i.
Here are more words like sky. If you don’t know what they mean, you can use a dictionary of your language and English. You can find them in an English dictionary, too. I like to use the Oxford Learner’s Dictionary.
sky, try, fly, by, cry, dry, my
Now, practice speaking a sentence from this Bible lesson.
Instructions:
- Listen to the sentence one time. Only listen, do not talk.
- Play it again. This time, stop often. Repeat the words you hear.
- Practice many times.
Do your best to say the words the way the speaker says them. If you are learning American English, imitate her pronunciation the best you can.
Don’t worry if you have an accent. The most important thing is that people can understand you. Practice the vowel sounds, and learn the stress patterns in each word.
Here we go! Do your best.
