There are 4 steps for students to review the vocabulary at home:
Let’s talk about minimal pairs /æ/ and /e/ - what’s the difference-?
Try saying ‘bed’ – when you make the /e/ sound, your tongue is in the front part of your mouth and raised a little towards your palate.
Now say ‘bad’ – when you make the /æ/ sound, your tongue is low, and your mouth opens wide.
Focus on the pronunciation, listen to the sounds and repeat.
