00:30Hello, my name is Georgia and I'm here at Hyde Park in the centre of London.
00:36Behind me is the Serpentine Lake or otherwise known as the Serpentine River.
00:43Think about the words I just said, Hyde Park, Serpentine and behind.
00:50Can you guess what sound we're going to be practising today?
00:55It's the I diphthong or double vowel sound.
01:14When you make this sound, you need to make sure that your mouth is wide open.
01:19As the sound progresses, your chin rises up towards the roof of your mouth.
01:25So let me show you. Pay attention.
01:28I. Let's say it together.
01:32I. I. I. I.
01:38Excellent. You did brilliantly.
01:55So let's pronounce some words together.
01:57They must include the I diphthong and they must be around me right now.
02:03So we are in Hyde Park. Let's practice that one.
02:08Hyde Park. Hyde Park. Hyde Park. Hyde Park.
02:15Behind me is the Serpentine River.
02:19Let's practice the word Serpentine.
02:22Serpentine. Serpentine. Serpentine. Serpentine.
02:28Now we are at the side of the lake.
02:31Let's practice the word side.
02:34Side. Side. Side. Side.
02:40And today, people are out in the sunlight.
02:43Let's practice the word sunlight.
02:45Sunlight. Sunlight. Sunlight. Sunlight.
02:51And finally, you can see me with your eyes.
02:56So let's practice the word eyes.
02:59Eyes. Eyes. Eyes. Eyes. Great.
03:11So now let's try some tongue twisters.
03:14Repeat after me.
03:16The kite flies so high, it's out of sight.
03:21So let's do that one again.
03:23Kite flies so high, it's out of sight.
03:28Kite flies so high, it's out of sight.
03:33And again.
03:34Kite flies so high, it's out of sight.
03:37Well done.
03:39Now the eye diphthong is very important for when you want to use greetings.
04:02So, a common greeting is the word hi.
04:06Why don't we practice that together?
04:09Hi. Hi. Hi.
04:13You might also say, nice to meet you.
04:17So why don't we practice that phrase?
04:19Nice to meet you.
04:22Nice to meet you.
04:24Nice to meet you.
04:26If somebody asks, how are you?
04:29You might respond with, fine, thank you.
04:33So why don't we practice the phrase, fine, thank you.
04:37Let's go.
04:39Fine, thank you.
04:41Fine, thank you.
04:43Fine, thank you.
04:45And finally, if you are leaving, you might simply say the word, bye.
04:52So let's practice that.
04:54Bye.
04:55Bye.
04:56Bye.
04:57Bye.
04:58Excellent.
04:59You did really well.
05:01As you can see, the diphthong, I, is very useful in common English phrases, especially greetings.
05:15So I'm Georgia, here at the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park.
05:19Oh, by the way, bye.
05:49Love is a great day.
05:50I'll see you next time.
05:51Bye.
05:52Bye.
05:54Bye.
05:55Bye.
05:57Bye.
05:58Bye.
