Hi guys. In this video, we're going to look at the // sound.

It's in words like "my" and "lie".

This is a diphthong, which means it's a combination of two vowel sounds produced within the one syllable.

This diphthong is a combination of the /a/ sound and the /ɪ/ sound, although some people stretch that out into the // sound.

This /a/ sound doesn't exist in Received Pronunciation by itself but don't worry too much about that.

Honestly, if you can make this sound (the /ɑː/), which we looked at in another video, it will be close enough, and lots of native speakers do that anyway.

So to produce this diphthong your mouth will be a bit open, to begin with /ɑː/, and then it will close a bit.

Your lips will also stretch out a little: // //.

Say it after me: // //.

And now here are some words with this sound: I, like, bright, sky.
