Many English learners have difficulty telling apart the vowel sounds /ɪ/ and /i/, often known as the 'short i' and 'long e', which distinguish word pairs such as 'ship' and 'sheep'. This video is intended to help you hear the difference between these sounds more clearly using audio of minimal pairs.
This video contains many audio examples of the English minimal pair words 'ship' (/ʃɪp/) and 'sheep' (/ʃip/), spoken in North American English accents. The only difference in the pronunciation of these words is the /ɪ/ and /i/ vowel sounds.
Listen to each word and decide if you are hearing 'ship', which contains the vowel /ɪ/, or 'sheep', which contains the vowel /i/. Pause the video if you need more time. Each example will play twice and the third time it plays you will see the correct answer. See how many you can get right!
Notes:
/ɪ/ as in 'ship' is known as the near-close near-front unrounded vowel.
/i/ as in 'sheep' is known as the close front unrounded vowel.
