In this lesson, students learn to reproduce the /ɛ/ sound (as in "get"). They practice writing and producing the sound through various tasks and compare /ɛ/ and /e/ (e.g., get/gate). Includes a pronunciation diagram and audio.

Please note that we use the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent sounds on our site. This lesson is based on the typical North American pronunciation of /ɛ/ (also known as "short E"). Pronunciation of this sound may differ by country and/or region.
