The Best Way to Learn American English Vowel Sounds

English vowel sounds are TRICKY. There are a lot of them and many sound very similar. In this lesson, I’ll share the tool I use with all of my students to train the American English vowel sounds and we’ll practice using it together.

What students are saying about The Clear English Academy:

“Don't miss this program. It will transform you.” George, native Malayalam speaker

“The best part is everybody understands me when I speak and the anxiety that I felt when speaking English is gone.” Patty, native Spanish speaker

“I can speak more confidently and fluently in my daily work. It is a turning point in both my life and my career.” Jing, native Mandarin speaker

“This program is the best thing I have ever done to improve my spoken English.” Hanf, native Vietnamese speaker

“​​I have to say that is probably the best decision I’ve ever made regarding improving my spoken English. This program is a game changer.” Seng, native Thai speaker

“This is not just one more online pronunciation program, it's a turning point to a new level of English comprehension and interaction.” Katy, native Russian speaker

I am 35, moved to USA and wanted to sound more American. Found your channel and it made me realise that at school nobody ever taught us anything about vowel sounds. Now i see for how many years i have been pronouncing things wrong... Thanks for this wonderful channel. I already improved my "R" 😁

I'm in school to be a high school history teacher. My ethnic background (where my parents and I immigrated from) is Eritrea, Africa.

Read in English and spelled correctly. Our little country Eritrea (to English readers) is pronounced Eee-Rit-Ree-ah.

When in fact if we spelled it as it's supposed to be pronounced. It would read, "AIR'IT'TREE-YA."

I live in the Pacific NW of America. I've always enjoyed our form of speaking English because we have no state or regional accent.

I was speaking with a first cousin back home in Asmara, Eritrea earlier. I was detailing the importance of understanding just what phonetics are and how to use them to your advantage.

Our area of Africa is in such a remote area that nothing of the Western Hemisphere post when Europeans we're forced to find an alternate route to India (due to the fall of Constantinople and the creation of Istanbul).

We're located to the north east on the continent and like bad-ass King Leonidas himself and his 300 of Sparta did to Xersis and his thousands and thousands of assassin's.

That tiny corroder the Spartans used to their advantage where numbers counted for nothing? Now go to a world map and see what corridor Eritrea has with what sea narrows and borders our eastern shores and enters another great body of water.


The woman in this video couldn't have been any more perfect of the exact type of English-soeaker I preach to any first generation Americans let alone my kin-folk back in the old country (Eritrea). Thank you for an excellent video. I made sure to subscribe and told my cousins in Eritrea to do the same 🖐🏾🇪🇷🇺🇸

I can't even describe my feelings of happiness and confidence to speak English. Before the Color Vowel Chart, I was struggling so bad to master these vowels sounds. But you made it for me at the perfect time.
Billion of thanks!!

Oh my word... *I LOVE* this video!! A student told me about this colour chart system about 10 years ago, and I was never able to find any more information on it. Then a decade later, this popped up in my feed! Glad to have come across your channel, Keenyn! All the best 👍

[howdypartner]

Yay a new video! I've learned so much from these lessons. I think I've watched all of your videos already. I still go over them again and again and just repeat what you say aloud. My accent and pronunciation haved improved to an almost native like level in such a short period of time by just repeating and imitating your accent and pronunciation. Thank you for these videos! <3

[carloshumbertocacaofiguero]

French and English are among the most difficults languages to pronounce due to great amount of sound they have. I'm s Spanish speakear, and as all you know, we have just a little vowels sounds. That is the reason we can't recognize the subtles differences beetween: "suck" and "sock", or "seat" and "sit". This video is just awesome. Thanks a lot. Keep it up with your great channel.
