11 分钟Hi there.
This is Harry.
And welcome back to my podcast, where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language, both for conversational English and, of course, for business English.
And we look at your grammar, phrasal verbs, expressions, idiomatic phrases, everything to do with the english language.
And of course, we look at pronunciation.
And today, this podcast is sponsored by the letter y.
Okay, for those of you who are scrabble fans like me, you'll be scrambling around looking for words beginning with the letter y, so you can get the maximum score on your scrabble board.
So, without further ado, let's move on.
As always, if you have a friend or colleague who you think will enjoy these podcasts, well, give them the details, and we'll be very happy to see them join our little family.
Okay?
And at the end, I'll give you my contact details.
So let's move on.
As I said, this particular podcast is sponsored by the letter y.
So we want to look at words and sounds, and the letter y is quite interesting.
You might think there are not many words or things connected with it, but when we're looking at it, we've got a consonant sound and also a vowel sound.
So there are two particular sounds.
So let's take those and go through them.
So, if we first of all look at y as a vowel sound, okay?
So, when the letter y is used as a vowel, it makes other vowel sounds.
Let me give you a couple of examples.
