  1. 1
    ship/ʃɪp/nounA large boat that carries people or goods across the sea.Short and clipped. Let it end almost before it starts.
  2. 2
    sheep/ʃiːp/nounA farm animal kept for its wool and its meat.The vowel is held twice as long as in ship. Length is the only clue.
  3. 3
    chip/tʃɪp/nounA small broken piece of something, or a thin fried slice of potato.Same short vowel as ship.
  4. 4
    cheap/tʃiːp/adjectiveCosting little money.Long vowel, like sheep. Saying it short turns it into chip.
  5. 5
    fill/fɪl/verbTo put enough into something to make it full.Short vowel, and the L arrives quickly.
  6. 6
    feel/fiːl/verbTo notice something through your body or your emotions.Long vowel before the L. Most speakers cut it short and land on fill.
  7. 7
    soap/soʊp/nounWhat you wash with.The vowel slides from O towards U inside one syllable.
  8. 8
    soup/suːp/nounA hot liquid food you eat with a spoon.One steady vowel, no slide. That is the whole difference from soap.
  9. 9
    walk/wɔːk/También se dice wɑːk.verbTo move on your feet at a normal speed.The L is silent, and the vowel is the one in more.
  10. 10
    work/wɜːrk/verbTo do a job.The R colours the vowel. Nothing here sounds like walk.
