Welcome to Day 1 of your American Accent Warm-up! This 7-Day Pronunciation Challenge for ESL is a straightforward and effective way to practice your American English.

This episode focuses on the common challenge of distinguishing between the long 'e' sound (like in "green") and the short 'i' sound (like in "ship"). You'll learn to hear and produce the difference between words that are often confused.

Daily Practice: Listen and Repeat

Your challenge is simple: listen and repeat the provided words and phrases daily for 7 days. By focusing on these minimal pairs, you'll train your ear and mouth to confidently produce the correct sounds.

• Deed vs. Did (e.g., "A good deed" | "Did you do it?")
• These vs. This (e.g., "These are great" | "Let's try this")
• Cheap vs. Chip (e.g., "Cheap tickets" | "Want some chips?")
• Feel vs. Fill (e.g., "It feels soft" | "Will that fill the tank?")
• Deep vs. Dip (e.g., "How deep is it?" | "Try dipping it in first")
• Heat vs. Hit (e.g., "Heat this in water" | "Try to hit the ball")
• Peak vs. Pick (e.g., "Sneak-peak" | "Which one will you pick?")
• Sleep vs. Slip (e.g., "Don’t sleep in" | "Careful not to slip")
