Find the sounds in camiseta

Read camiseta in these IPA segments: kami · ˈseta. Dots and stress marks identify the boundaries shown in the reference; these symbols are not English spelling. The mark /ˈ/ comes immediately before the main stressed syllable. Give that syllable a little more prominence without swallowing the others.

  1. 1.A steady /e/ vowel

    In camiseta: Keep the tongue toward the front and sustain a single /e/ vowel. Listen for its exact height in the recording.
