What’s the difference between these two words in a modern
British RP accent? Okay,
this one gets requested a lot,
and if you have any requests of your own,
let me know in the comments.
But both of these two words start and finish with the same sounds.
They start with a
sound, and they end with a and a.
The key to pronouncing them correctly is getting the vowel sound right.
And, no,
I’m not going to talk about meanings in this one.
I think you know what they mean.
So let’s talk about this one first.
This is 6 6. So it’s
6 6. So it’s got that eh vowel sound,
the same eh we see in ship 6.
Now let’s compare it with this one.
This is sex. Sex. So it’s.
It’s got that eh vowel sound,
the same vowel sound that we see in the word egg. Sex.
So this is six, and this is sex.
Eh? Eh,
six. Sex.
