Sheep vs. Ship Pronunciation Lesson

English pronunciation can be tricky, especially with words like “sheep” and “ship.” The difference is in the vowel sounds. “Sheep” has a long “ee” sound, while “ship” has a short “i” sound. Many learners confuse these two words, which can lead to funny misunderstandings!

In this lesson, Daniel says, “I saw a ship in the farm,” which sounds strange. Isabella helps him correct it by explaining the vowel sounds and drawing simple pictures. By practicing “sheep” (long “ee”) and “ship” (short “i”), Daniel gets it right: “A sheep in the farm.”

To improve, try repeating the words aloud. Focus on stretching the “ee” sound in “sheep” and keeping “ship” short. Listen carefully and practice with a mirror or a friend. Keep practicing, and soon, you’ll say them perfectly!
