🎯 Today's 5-Minute RP Drill

1. Warm-up (1 min): Stretch Your Mouth (Gently)

Say these slowly and clearly, three times:

  • ear /ɪə/
  • air /eə/
  • oar /ɔː/
  • idea /aɪˈdɪə/

Notice how your mouth shape changes. Don't rush — this is vowel yoga.

2. Target Words (2 mins): Tricky RP Vowels

Say each word out loud. Focus on vowel length and clarity.

  • thought /ɔː/
  • bird /ɜː/
  • cup /ʌ/
  • boot /uː/
  • ship vs sheep – yes, again. Always.

3. Connected Speech Flow (2 mins): Vowel in Context

Try these phrases:

  • I heard a bird in the church.
  • We ought to talk, but I can't be sure.
  • That boot's too small for your foot.
