Dipthongs

Today we practised pronouncing dipthongs in Te Reo Māori. Dipthongs are when 2 vowels are together. Ms Corbett gave us 4 words to practise. I chose ????. Here is a recording of my practice.

Today i learnt about Diphthongs. Diphthongs are 2 blending sounds that go together like 

A E I O U for example it goes with the blends. 

AE           EA          IA       OA      UA

AI            EI          IE        OE      UE

AO           EO         IO        OI      UI

AU         EU       IU      OU    UO

That's the chart of the sounds  That you can make. If you listen to mine and your's try there will be a difference in what i say and what you say. If you can't say  it   right on the first go its ok just keep practicing you will get it. It was really fun to do. Until my next post and try it for yourself.
