long e - short i sounds

[Tom Zurinskas]

Audiopal.com is a good way to put sound files into this forum.  It can be used with own voice over telephone or computer mic.

This program also has a text to speech processor.  You can hear the difference between long e and short i in the words I typed.  The words are below:

I am thin I think.  Think thin.  The king has a kin.  King kin.  It’s a sin when you sing.  Sing sin.  Tingle, tinted.   Teen English  Tin India..
