In Episode 97 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we explore how humanistic psychology can help you learn with more joy, less stress, and deeper self-awareness. This isn’t about hacking your brain—it’s about healing your relationship with learning.

We will explore how humanistic psychology transforms language learning from a stressful task into a journey of personal growth and inner peace. Instead of focusing on flaws or pressure, it teaches you to trust your innate desire to learn, create a kind and safe emotional environment for yourself, and embrace self-compassion as the key to resilient, joyful, and effective learning. Perfect for learners who believe languages aren’t just about words—but about becoming more fully yourself.

You’ll discover:

Why your desire to learn a language is a natural force for growth—and how to trust it.

How to quiet your inner critic and make space for curiosity and courage.

The science behind self-compassion and why being kind to yourself isn’t “soft”—it’s strategic.

Practical ways to build a learning practice that respects your emotions, time, and unique rhythm.

This episode is for those who believe learning a language isn’t just about words—it’s about becoming more fully yourself.

Welcome to the American English Pronunciation Guide. My name is Trevor Kafka, and I am your host.

There are many different varieties of American English. I was born and raised in New York, which has given me General American English pronunciation. The English that I speak has 15 vowel sounds. 

Please view the transcript for help while listening.

Today, we will talk about the vowel sound number 2 of 15: /eɪ/ grey day. This vowel is what we call a diphthong, meaning that it’s really two vowel sounds smooshed together as one. The mouth begins very open when the sound begins, but then turns into a smile as the teeth come together.

Listen to me saying this sound and repeat: /eɪ/, /eɪ/, /eɪ/

Listen to and repeat the following single-syllable words:
gray
day
pain
whale
waste
straight
tail
wait
shade

Listen to and repeat the following multiple-syllable words:
chamber
embrace
greatest
labor
vacation
translate
Canadian
information

Listen to and repeat the following sentences:
The way you say “gray” makes my day quite okay.
I embrace the shade to stay out of the sun’s rays.
The greatest of Canadian vacations have no space for rain.

I would like to thank Shirley Thompson and Karen Taylor for their work in developing the set of key phrases that I use with each vowel, such as /æ/ black cat, /eɪ/ grey day, etc.
