SWE 117 How to meet a girl at a bar w transcript  (English & Chinese)

Bare Naked Ladies are a Toronto, Canada rock group popular in the late 1990s and the early part of the new century.  In episode 1, I commented that food, blue, and blew all had the same vowel sound.  Indeed, bare (meaning naked or basic) and bear (the animal) are pronounced the same. In this episode, I am going to guide you through (not throw) the E ear and A air sounds.
Here are the lists of the words in this lesson.  Notice that the spelling of the vowel sound is not consistent.
                                                 Sound 1                                             Sound 2
                                                      ear                                                      air
                                                      beer                                                    bear / bare
                                                      pier                                                      pear
                                                      hear                                                     hair

                                                      cheers                                                 chairs
