The main purpose when you speak is to be understood and in order for you to be understood, you must be able to pronounce words clearly and correctly.
The English vowels, namely the a ,e, i, o, u have long and short sounds. Let's start with the vowel "a".
The short a is pronounced quickly and sounds like its letter sound /a/. Examples:
fat hard
father land
pants war
The long a takes a long time in pronouncing compared to the short a
It is pronounced as /ey/.Examples:
Say May
Pay pain
cake shake
*What's good in learning pronunciation is that you will also learn new words to improve your vocabulary.
