Beer or bear? The diphthongs /ɪə/ and /eə/ in English

from English Sound Building - British Pronunciation · host Tamsin

Welcome back to season 4 of English Sound Building! Today, we’re picking back up on the /ɪ/ and /e/ sounds from last week, and seeing how they behave in two schwa diphthongs: /ɪə/ and /eə/. We’ll look at the sounds individually, in common words, and in sentences. Practise as often as you can to build muscle memory, and make sure you subscribe so you don't miss the next one.  The Podcast script is available free on my Patreon.
