MASTER English Pronunciation | The 8 Diphthong Vowel Sounds

Do you want to learn to learn English vowel sounds? Master English pronunciation? Do you know what a Diphthong is? They are English Vowel sounds but they are more difficult than the simple (LINK) short english vowel sounds or the simple LONG ENGLISH VOWEL SOUNDS (LINK). The reason they are more difficult is because they are actually TWO vowels that mix and become one!
A diphthong is a sound made by combining two vowels, specifically when it starts as one vowel sound and goes to another, like the oy sound in oil.
Diphthong comes from the Greek word 'diphthongos' which means “having two sounds.”
Diphthongs can be tricky (difficult) sounds to master for non-native speakers of English. Your mouth will move position as you produce the sounds. Many students find diphthongs difficult because producing them is a “motor skill” which has to be practiced again and again in order to get a good result. The main diphthong sounds in British English are:
00:00 Intro
00:30 What is a Diphthong?
02:34 /ɪə/
04:03 /ʊə/
05:14 /eə/
06:56 /eɪ/
08:37 /ɔɪ/
09:51 /aɪ/
11:27 /əʊ/
13:16 /aʊ/
14:51 TEST
18:14 Outro
When we move from one vowel sound to another this is called gliding, which is why another name for a diphthong is a, “gliding vowel” but they are also known as compound vowels, complex vowels, or moving vowels.

I thank you for always following you. I do not know my mother tongue Arabic, but I would like to learn English, and the best way is to learn from the owner of the original language. Now I am writing on a program in Arabic, which I convert into English and send it to comments. Thank you very much.

[@Lifeistoshorttobesadmakefun]

Sir I discover your channel recently. Its a milestone for me to be more like you and the native speaker. Thank you for your wonderful content for people like me to learn exactly the English pronunciation and I alway confused which accent to follow whether American or British accent . But as I found you , no doubt Which accent should I follow. If we are taught in school and college like the way you teaches , apparently today I shouldn't burn my lantern late at night. Thank you once and l m extremely delighted and confident that one day sooner or later I also speak or sound more like you sir . Sir you are my best English teacher ever.God bless you million times.

[@stallion1906]

Hi James, I find your videos very useful. I am an oral English teacher in China and I try very hard to help my students to improve their English pronunciation. I use some of your videos and videos from other teachers. One difficult pronunciation area for my students is the diphthongs like ia, io, and son on like in these examples (appreciate, appreciation, associate, association [uh-soh-see-ey-shuhn], aviation, Austria, biology [bahy-ol-uh-jee], biography, create [kree-eyt], creation, creative, diagnostic, diary, employees, evaluate, evaluation, enthusiastic [en-thoo-zee-as-tik], enthusiasm [en-thoo-zee-az-uhm], fluent, fluency, geography, graduate, graduation) and most of the students can't pronounce them correctly so they end up saying apprece ate like they are two different words) instead of pronouncing the "i" and the "a" together which sounds like yey, they sound it like appreci ate. Can you make a video that covers this pronunciation problem please?

[@cassiezhang9872]

It is exciting to discover your videos these few days. Thank you for your sharing. I have to follow your vedios. It is best for me!
