Words

The words that I learn each day.

Helps me with my English.
Did you know that they are consonants and vowels
that form sounds?

Words like cyst that has s sound

Cat that has a k sound,
Phone that has a f sound,
Exam that has a z sound.
Who knew?

A, E, I, O, U the vowels that I know.

Actually, have long and short sounds.
Like stamp and lamp, grow and crow.
I guess I was using those vowels wrong.
I don’t speak English well.
But I know no-one can tell.
