    The document introduces a pronunciation guide chart that shows the eight tense vowels and six lax vowels and semivowels in the language. It explains that tense vowels are sometimes called long vowels and lax vowels are sometimes called short vowels. However, it is more descriptive to refer to lax vowels as being doubled or lengthened when preceding voiced consonants rather than calling them short, to avoid confusion when learning pronunciation.

    A Few Words On Pronunciation (CD 1 Track 2)

    I'd like to introduce you to the pronunciation guide outlines in the following chart. There aren't too many characters that are different from the standard alphabet, but just so you'll be familiar with them, look at the chart. It shows eight tense vowels and six lax vowels and semivowels.

    Tense Vowels? Lax Vowels?


    In some books, tense vowels are called long and lax vowels are called short. Since you will be learning how to lengthen vowels when they come before a voiced consonant, it would be confusing to say that hen has a long, short vowel. It is more descriptive to say that it has a lax vowel that is doubled or lengthened. Symbol a T !" VOW L" Sound Spelling xample Symbol i [tak] take LA# VOW L" Sound Spelling eh xample
