@auroraricottiottmann: The IPA vowel chart is a map of tongue position: ⬆️ Towards the top, the tongue is higher in the mouth. The mouth is more closed. ⬇️ Towards the bottom, it’s lower so the mouth is more open. ↔️ Left to right represents the front to the back of the mouth. With the tongue spread forward or withdrawn back. Lip position matters too: some vowels use rounded lips, others don’t. If you’re an Italian speaker, several English vowels may sound like the same Italian vowel at first. Learning to hear AND produce those differences can make your English clearer—and help you understand it better. This is what we work on in our Pronunciation & Phonetics courses at Online Language Lessons: understanding how sounds work, training your ear and putting them into practice. 🇬🇧 Explore our courses through the link in bio! Save this reel and try the sounds with me. Which pair is hardest for you to tell apart?

Mirko :
For those who are more familiar with the IPA, the short 'e' sound (as in 'pet') is technically represented by /ɛ/, which is reflected in the video's vowel chart. However, broad transcriptions and English dictionaries often simplify this by using the base symbol /e/ for the short 'e' sound and as the starting point for the diphthong /eɪ/.
