VOWELS The Long and Short of Them -

Vowels and their proper usage in English are vital to being understood when you speak.

There are Long Vowels and Short Vowels.

In the main, the proper name of each Vowels sounds the same as the way one pronounces that vowel.

For example. A  sounds like its name (ay - as in way)

E sounds like its name in the long vowel form, as well as does the letter I, and its companions, O and U.

Practice Makes Perfect!  Practice, Drill, and Rehearse.  You can do it!
