6分钟练就完美美式口音02：AY的发音
大家都知道英语当中有5个元音，也知道元音在英语当中的重要性，但是你知道5个元音能发出12种不同的声音吗？在这一章我们将来分析这些发音，同时我们会给出大量的例子来帮助大家理解，跟着视频一起来读吧！
这12种元音的发音分别是：
| 发音 | 单词 |
| AY | take |
| AH | car |
| AI | ran |
| AW | water |
| OH | cold |
| OO | pool |
| U | book |
| EE | sleep |
| e | slept |
| i | flip |
| l | five |
| uh | rubber |
首先我们来学习第一种发音：AY的发音
当字母A出现在单词中时，也发字母A的音，下巴先保持向下的状态，然后提上来发字母E的音。这两个发音的结合就成了美式发音中A的音了。
