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.

こんにちは～！マルハバ！サウジの日本語の先生、佳子です＾＾
みなさんー！元気ですかー？私は元気ですよー！
今日は「サウジのクリスマス」について話します。
サウジアラビアのクリスマスってどうなの？って思っている人も多いと思います。
私はサウジに来て2回目のクリスマスシーズンを過ごします。個人的な感想を言うと、私はサウジで3番目か4番目くらいに大きな州に住んでいますが、クリスマス感はあまりないです。日本ではクリスマスイルミネーションやクリスマスツリーをよく見かけますし、ほとんどのお店がクリスマスのデコレーションをしている感じですね。
幼稚園や会社などでクリスマスパーティーがあったり、小さな子供がいる家庭ではだいたいクリスマスを家族で祝うと思います。大人の場合は、クリスマスに家族や友達、パートナーと何かしよう！と頑張って予定をたてます。
多くのサウジ人にとってはクリスマスは普通の日。休みではないし、クリスマスだからと言ってケーキやプレゼントを買うこともありません。しかし、サウジにはたくさんの外国人がいます。その外国人を中心に、近年、クリスマス文化が広まりつつあります。外国人向けのお店やローカルの店でもクリスマスグッズを売っていたり、高級ホテルではクリスマス限定メニューもあるそうです。恐らく首都のリヤドではクリスマスツリーなどを見かけると思います。
1年前にサウジに引っ越してきたときは、5歳の息子もクリスマスのことを覚えていて、「ケーキ食べたい」と言ったので、ケーキを食べて少し祝いました。今年はまだ何も言っていないので、多くのサウジ人と同様、普通にクリスマスを過ごしたいと思います。
みなさんは、どのようにクリスマスを過ごしますか？
それではまた！マア　アッサラーマ！
