What are diphthong sounds?

HOW TO PRONOUNCE “LIVE” AND “LEAVE”
How would you pronounce these two words?
The first word is live. The vowel sound is /ɪ/, as in sit and ship.
The second word is leave. The letters E-A make the sound /iː/, as in see and sheep.
Listen carefully to the difference between the two words.
Live — Leave.
Both words contain monophthongs, but they have different vowel sounds.
The first word contains the short vowel sound /ɪ/, while the second contains the long vowel sound /iː/.
Remember, we are looking at vowel sounds, not just letters.
Practise saying the two words after me: live, leave.
