Long or short?

As we have started dealing with long /:i/ and short /I/ in class, it will be interesting to practice this minimal pair. So, visit this webpage and follow the instructions below:

http://www.manythings.org/e/pronunciation.html

Click on: Minimal Pair Practice & Quizzes
Go to: Minimal Pairs - Lesson 23: eat-it, ... and START.
Use your headphones or make sure you have your speakers on.

When you finish, post a comment on our blog explainig if it was easy or difficult, if the webpage is interesting and if you will use it again on your own.

Thanks!

  1. Hello, the sounds are very easier to differentiate, I only have 1 answer wrong and the other 19 correct. The exercises are too easy but are too short.
    Goodbay, I see you on Monday.

  3. Hi!
    I did the exercise. It was too easy !. I played the sound 20 times and I have 20 answers correct. When the PC say the sound I repeat and I did it well but I don't know when I have to use /:i/ or /I/ in all the words, this is my problem.
    bye!!

  8. Hello!
    I have done the exercise but I've only practised four sounds because the website hasn't allowed me to practise more sounds.
    The exercise that I've practise have been easy, I haven't had any mistake.
    Bye

  10. Hello!
    I have done the exercise and the listening. The listening about farms was quite easy, but when I have done the dictation, I can´t distinguish the words very well, for example, when it says: I´ve visited family friends who have lived on farms, I am not able to distinguish "who have", but the solution is practice more.

    kisses.
