Some English vowel sounds don’t stay in one place—they move. Sounds like WHITE TIE, TURQUOISE TOY, and BROWN COW glide from one vowel position to another. These are examples of English diphthong vowels, also called moving vowels, because each sound starts with a clear vowel and glides smoothly into a softer second vowel.

WHITE TIE and TURQUOISE TOY often feel manageable once you hear the pattern. BROWN COW, however, tends to cause more trouble. If the sound doesn’t move fully, words like loud can drift toward load, changing meaning without the speaker realizing it. Small shifts in movement can lead to big changes in meaning.

In this lesson, you’ll train your ears and mouth to feel the full glide in each of these moving vowels through slow-motion practice, repetition, and real phrases. Learning to honor both parts of the sound helps your speech stay clear, accurate, and confident in fast, natural English.

✨ CEA members unlock extended practice with phrases, sentences, and real-world speaking prompts to integrate WHITE TIE, TURQUOISE TOY, and BROWN COW.
