You can look up any word in the dictionary and see the IPA symbol to know what the vowel is. I recommend the Oxford Learner's Dictionary.
These are the anchor words I recommend: /i/ - green leaf /ɪ/ - pink pig /ɛ/ - red tent /eɪ/ - gray day /æ/ - black cat /u/ - blue shoe /ʊ/ - good book /ɔ/ - caught law /oʊ/ - no snow /ɑ/ - not hot /ɚ/ - purple bird /ə,ʌ/ - such fun /ɑɪ/ - white night /ɑʊ/ - brown cow /ɔɪ/ - noisy boy | Listen to the anchor words here: |
