歡迎來到易說堂英語語音學習！學習區分/i: /和/i/這兩個前元音。這兩個音不僅僅存在長短的差別，更重要的還有音調高低的差別。發長音/i: /的時候，可以依照漢語中的“衣”音，但舌面要離開上腭，使氣流從口腔泄出時不在舌面上發生任何摩擦。這里有一個特別的方法，可以使你在發音時避免發生摩擦，這種方法被人們稱為微笑的“一”，就是在面部保持一種微笑的狀態下發漢語的“一”，這時漢語“一”發音和英語的/i: /就極其接近。/i: /和/i/雖是一長一短的一對，但它們的發音效果卻不一樣，發/i/音時，音不僅要短，舌面還要離開上腭再稍遠一點。發這個音的關鍵是掌握這個音短暫，高亢，清脆和有力的特點。大家還是跟J老師讀些單詞短語句子來練習這兩個發音。
