欢迎来到易说堂电话英语语音学习！学习区分/i: /和/i/这两个前元音。这两个音不仅仅存在长短的差别，更重要的还有音调高低的差别。发长音/i: /的时候，可以依照汉语中的“衣”音，但舌面要离开上腭，使气流从口腔泄出时不在舌面上发生任何摩擦。这里有一个特别的方法，可以使你在发音时避免发生摩擦，这种方法被人们称为微笑的“一”，就是在面部保持一种微笑的状态下发汉语的“一”，这时汉语“一”发音和英语的/i: /就极其接近。/i: /和/i/虽是一长一短的一对，但它们的发音效果却不一样，发/i/音时，音不仅要短，舌面还要离开上腭再稍远一点。发这个音的关键是掌握这个音短暂，高亢，清脆和有力的特点。大家还是跟J老师读些单词短语句子来练习这两个发音。
