Diphthong Exercise – Better Pronunciation

In this video we are going to practise seven of the eight diphthongs in English. Diphthongs are double vowel sounds we can find in many words.

For example, ‘house’, ‘phone’, ‘boy’ & ‘nice’ all contain various diphthongs. The video starts off with a quick revision using the fun activity of ‘Diphthong Boy’.

After that you can test yourself: can you hear which word contains the given diphthong? If you are new to diphthongs, please watch the introduction videos first. You can find them all in the submenu ‘Vowels – Diphthongs’.
