Learn English with The Alphabet of Idioms: Tighten your belts!

Master the long /iː/ and short /ɪ/ sounds through focused repetition and listening exercises. This practice session reinforces Lesson 7's key concept: both 'e' and 'i' can represent these two distinct vowel sounds in British English.
You'll practice word lists, minimal pairs (sit/seat, ship/sheep), and challenging tongue twisters designed to sharpen your ear and improve your articulation. Perfect for learners who want to train their pronunciation through hands-on practice rather than theory.
Repeat, listen, and build muscle memory—no matter your starting level, consistent practice will help these sounds become natural.

Ciao studenti e studentesse di tutto il mondo e benvenuti nel quarto episodio di “Impara l'italiano con Isa”! 🌍📚😃 in questo episodio come già preannunciato nell'episodio precedente parleremo di un utensile da cucina che potete vedere nell'immagine del podcast. Questo utensile non è altro che una spatola di gomma che ha mille utilizzi nella cucina, ma non è questo il punto; il punto è il nome italiano di questo utensile. 

If you need the transcription, I could provide to give it to you, so feel free to contact me with a message! :)
