Listen Later

Explore the six ways to pronounce the letter E in British English. Building on the long E (see, me) and short E (English, pretty) from previous episodes, this lesson dives into three additional sounds: the mid-front /e/ in "bed," the distinctive central /ɜː/ in "her," and the diphthong /eɪ/ in "they." Learn precise tongue placement and jaw movement for each sound, discover common exceptions from French loanwords, and understand the role of silent E.
