Short transcript of a YouTube clip in which Hadar Shemesh teaches English front vowels. The speaker demonstrates how moving the tongue forward and lowering the jaw produces a high front vowel (beat) and then lower front vowels (bit, bet, bat), using example words and repetition.

So let's begin with front vowels. And we're going to start with a high vowel sound. That means that the tongue rolls forward to produce that sound.
E. Beat, beat.
Now, if we lower the tongue a.
Little bit, we.
Will get to.
Bit, Bit, beat, bit.
And as we drop the jaw a little bit more, we.
Get to bet, bet.
And if we lower the jaw a bit more, we.
Will say bat. Bat. Beat, bit, Bat.
