Two vowel sound in these words: dice and voice
Answers
Explanation:
A monophthong is a vowel with a single sound, such as the long E sound in "meet" and the UH sound (short U) in "rust." Monophthongs make one single vowel sound in a syllable. You do not have to change the shape of your mouth while saying the vowel sound.
A diphthong is a more complex vowel sound.
The word diphthong comes from the Latin word "diphthongus" and the Greek word "diphthongos," meaning "having two sounds."
Diphthongs begin with one vowel sound and change to another vowel sound in the same syllable. Your mouth position changes slightly through the vowel sound.
Diphthongs are often (but not always) made when two vowels are next to each other in the same syllable.
