Talk:Vowel Boot Camp/@comment-73.37.237.49-20190113021926

Here's an another example I came up with:

[with the letter A]

Sargent Mark: [after the usual lines] You got it, private. But, what if you get surrounded by an "R" and an "N"? Sound?

[he says his short sound and sir]

Sargent Mark: Word?

[he says "Ran!"]

Sargent Mark: Great, private E. But what if an "I" comes through the lines and stands next to you? What's the rule of engagement, soldiers? [When two vowels stand side by side, the first one says its name with pride.] That's right, private A. What's you sound, soldier?

[he says his long sound and sir]

Sargent Mark: Word!

[he says "Rain, sir!"]

Sargent Mark: Perfect. You ran in that rain if you got an umbrella. [then says the ending line for A]
