Que bom seria se a lingua inglesa fosse que nem a lingua espanhola em relacao as vogais... Cada vogal com um unico som e nada mais, dessa maneira nao teriamos que parar para nos perguntar se aquela vogal tem som de “a” ou de “é” naquela palavra inglesa.
Mas infelizmente os sons vocalicos em ingles sao mais complicados... Ja que ha 20 differentes sons para as 5 vogais! Esses sons sao em muitos casos ditongos.
Abaixo algumas frases onde os sons das vogais em negrito sao os mesmos:
