I heard this from a teacher on Futurelearn.com talking about teaching English to little kids. Then I tried and failed to find the dictionary meaning of "break down (a sound)". What does she mean? (She also menttioned "focusing on the vocabulary" as another activity they teach kids to do.) Does it mean "to pronounce" or "to split" (for example, diphthongs consisting of two elements)?
