DIPHTONG

2. What is diphtong .. ?
Diphtong is combination of two vowels.
Actually there are eight diphtong in English but
we just explain three diphtongs [only].
there is :
1.
2.
3.

3. 1.
The starting position is with tongue
pulled back but small mouth aperture as in "book" or
"look“.
To make the diphthong, this time the small
controlled tongue movement goes from the back
position to the mid central position, losing the lip
rounding and relaxing your mouth from the tight
starting position.
In the middle of words only .
- POOR
- TOUR

4. 2.
The starting position is , the sound in "door"
or "or". Your tongue needs to be low, but you need to
pull it back and make your mouth round.
To make the diphthong, you relax the lip rounding
and move your tongue forward and up.
At the beginning In the middle In the
end
Ointment - Choise - Toy
Oink - join - Boy
Oyster - Noise - Enjoy
Oily - Coin -
Destroy

5. 3.
The starting position is the neutral vowel
sound, also known as "shwa" , which sounds
like a grunt, as in the weak form of "the" or "a". To
start in this way, the tongue should be fixed in mid
central position in your mouth with lips relaxed.
To make the diphthong, it is a short controlled
movement in the opposite direction of 5) above: from
the centre to the back moving your relaxed lips into
a tighter small round aperture. Your cheeks should
move in a bit!
