6. The Finals Ending with the Vowel u

In the last lesson, we learned that we can combine the vowels below with the vowel i or u to form other finals. Let’s first revise the vowels.

aa a e i o u eo

In this lesson, we will focus on the finals ending with the vowel u.

Step 1  Listen to the finals ending with the vowel u. Notice the smooth transition from the first vowel to the second vowel.

  1. aa ‒ u ‒ aa + u ‒ aau
  2. a ‒ u ‒ a + u ‒ au
  3. e ‒ u ‒ e + u ‒ eu
  4. i ‒ u ‒ i + u ‒ iu
  5. o ‒ u ‒ o + u ‒ ou

Step 2  Listen and repeat.

  1. aa ‒ u ‒ aa + u ‒ aau
  2. a ‒ u ‒ a + u ‒ au
  3. e ‒ u ‒ e + u ‒ eu
  4. i ‒ u ‒ i + u ‒ iu
  5. o ‒ u ‒ o + u ‒ ou
