北海道Hokkaido生活 for Japanese learners

¿CÓMO ORDENAR EN UN RESTAURANTE?

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.

Transcript: 
Long e with letter E: see, me, be, these, complete, scene, tree, free, three, believe, receive, degree, theme, scheme, delete, extreme
Long e with letter I: machine, police, sardine, prestige, magazine, marine, cuisine, routine, limousine, hygiene, submarine, regime, tambourine
Short i with letter E:  English, pretty, bucket, pocket, started, lended,  helmet, velvet, secret
Short i with letter I:  it, sit, him, big, sister, interesting, milk, sick, pin, picnic, win, fish, list, lift, hint

Minimal Pairs: 
Sit - seat
Fit - feet 
ship - sheep 
dip  — deep 
chip — cheap 
Bin – Bean
Pin – Peen
Lid – Lead
Rich – Reach
Bit – Beat
Sick – Seek
Him – Heap
Fin – Fee
Rip – Reap
Tongue twisters: 
I see the sheep sleep deep in the green field.
Sick fish swim in the deep sea.
Pin the chip on the cheap machine.
The keen teen keeps the scene clean.
Big fish in a deep green sea swim free.
Pretty women with private seats sip tea.


British Pronunciation Tips 

British Vowel Sound Masterclass: Lesson 7 – The Long & Short E/I. Same Sounds, Different Letters - Practice 

大家好，我是Honglin老师，欢迎来到我的汉字频道。
这是我的第二条推送。今天要和你们分享的是，“口”字，一家五口人的“口”，吃饭和说话会用到的“口”，或者说，我们的嘴巴。

口，是一个象形字，它的形状长得就像我们的嘴巴。最开始的“口”，是一个圆形，就像我们说“啊”的时候，嘴巴张开的样子。而且两边的竖很长，看起来就像一个英文字母的H，只不过最下面还有一横。后来圆的慢慢变成方的，两边的竖也变短，就变成了现在的“口”，就像一个正方形。“口”这个字，是汉字里变化最小的字之一，也是一些字的偏旁，表示和嘴巴相关的动作或者物品。比如，“吃”，吃东西的吃，就是用的“口”字旁。

那含有“口“字的词语也很多，今天给大家分享一个网络用语，“口嗨”。

“嗨“你可以理解成英文的“high“，兴奋的意思。口嗨的意思就是虽然话说得很漂亮，说可以做或者要做一件事，听起来很兴奋，但是行动上却做不到，说到却做不到。比如，你有一个朋友天天和你说，“哎呀，下次来我的城市，一定要告诉我，我带你玩，我带你吃好吃的，保证你满意“。但等你真的到了他那里，他说的这些要带你做的事，一件也没做。那你就可以说，“哎，他只是口嗨啦“。

二：“口”为什么这样写&“口嗨”

As time goes by more and more characters are created. How many Chinese characters do we have? And how many characters should a foreign learner master that can manage daily conversations ? Am I suppose to learn all Chinese characters? Don't be worry, this audio will give you an answer.
