The e Sound ( Colin Munro, British English

THE e SOUND ЗВУК e By Colin Munro (British English) This is the e sound. It is a Vowel sound and its technical name is the CloseMid Front Unrounded Vowel. Remember that the key to pronunciation is physical and the name tells us about how the sound is made physically. In this case your tongue is high, but not at the top of your mouth, and at the front. Unrounded refers to your lips because they are stretched out as if you are smiling and not rounded. . All vowels are made through the mouth and are voiced so you vibrate your vocal chords to make the sound. To produce the sound put your tongue high, but not at the top, and at the front of your mouth and stretch out your lips, then make a short voiced sound with your mouth slightly open.
