La profesora Aurelia os muestra dos sonidos muy difíciles de diferenciar para la mayoría de hispanohablantes; el sonido "ee" largo y corto.

El sonido corto no existe en español y muchas palabras suenan igual, pero en realidad son diferentes; por ejemplo “sit” y “seat” ¡Esto puede llevar a una situación incómoda, ya que muchas personas podrían decir “bitch” y “beach” de la misma manera!

Pequeñas mejoras en nuestra pronunciación es lo que marca la diferencia entre sonar como un hablante nativo de inglés y alguien que tiene dificultades para comunicarse bien.
