    Default How to say: bitch and beach

    I know the difference between those, but I have a problem when I try saying any of them.

    Can someone help me? My problem is , when I try saying beach, the people think I am saying bitch.

    "Beach" has a long "e" sound. Think of squealing "eeeeeek!" when you see a mouse or scary spider.

    "Beach" rhymes with "feet," "teach," "meet," "cheese" and "street."

    To make the long "e" sound, pull both corners of your mouth tight, as if you're making a very wide, exaggerated smile.

    Do you say "reach" and "rich" the same way?
    Leap and lip?

    When people smile for a picture, they sometimes say "cheeeeeese" with a big smile. Try that. Beeeeeaaaach. Make a big smile as you say it.
