It is quite interesting, since both of them are heard quite similar, but they are written differently. And so it’s confusing, but with the practice of learning.
That’s exactly why we have to practice these 2 sounds side by side.
Thank you. I’m glad you find my work useful.

Very good subject
Yes, very good subject.
Personally, I consider it to be a very good one, since in the way in which the different vocal sounds are explained, it makes you understand and distinguish them more clearly. ??
Thank you. These 2 sounds are important. I’m glad that you find my work useful to you.

Dear Mrs. Easton,
This one is very useful for me. Could you explain why you put the word “theater” in the reference chart for /iy/ instead of /I/?
Thank a lot
