00:40Hi, my name's Ariana, and you're joining us here at the Royal Artillery Memorial in London.
00:50It's a memorable place, and here you can enjoy the view.
00:55So, have you been able to guess what sound we're going to learn today?
01:02Yes, we're going to be learning the tricky diphthong, or double vowel sound, oi.
01:09Music
01:17In order to pronounce this sound correctly,
01:37your mouth changes shape from the beginning of the sound to the end.
01:44So, watch how my mouth changes shape as I make the sound.
01:49Oi
01:50Oi
01:52Oi
01:55Oi
01:57Now, let's repeat a few times together.
02:03Oi
02:04Oi
02:06Oi
02:08Perfect. Well done.
02:11So, now let's pronounce some words together that have the oi diphthong within them.
02:36Why don't we start with royal, royal, royal, royal, royal.
02:46Now, I'm going to point at the memorial.
02:52That's point, point, point, point, point.
03:02Now, in my pocket, I've got a coin.
03:07That's coin, coin, coin, coin, coin.
03:17So, now we're going to do some tongue twisters together.
03:27Repeat after me, and we'll start off slowly.
03:32A lawyer's choice was oysters in oil.
03:37A lawyer's choice was oysters in oil.
03:43A lawyer's choice was oysters in oil.
03:46A lawyer's choice was oysters in oil.
03:52Well done, but I think you can go a little bit faster.
03:56A lawyer's choice was oysters in oil, a lawyer's choice was oysters in oil, a lawyer's choice was oysters in oil.
04:05Well done, really good job.
04:13The oi diphthong is very tricky but also very important in the English language.
04:21And I'm now going to teach you some important phrases you can use with the oi diphthong within them.
04:29Let's start with the word royal.
04:33Now, royal can be used as both a noun and an adjective.
04:40As a noun, it refers to a member of the royal family.
04:45So a king, a queen, a prince or a princess.
04:51So you might say, he comes from royal blood.
04:56He comes from royal blood.
05:00He comes from royal blood.
05:05As an adjective, the word royal can mean something that is supported by the king or queen.
05:15For example, he joined the royal army.
05:20The word royal as an adjective can also be used to describe something that is great, fit for a king or queen.
05:39For example, we received a royal welcome, which means that you received a welcome fit for a king or queen.
05:50Unfortunately, that's all we've got time for in today's episode.
