Hello,
This is just a training of how we can describe either a consonant or a vowel of a beginner student;-).
For consonant:
The sound /r/ is a post-alveolar approximant, a roll/trill and a voiced sound.
The sound /s/ is an alveolar (the tongue tip or less the tongue blade approches the alveolar ridge but in practise it touches the lower teeth)ficative and unvoiced sound.
The sound /m/ is a balabial, nasal and voiced sound.
Concerning the vowel:
/ɑ :/ is a open,low, back, unrounded and long vowel.
/ɪ/ ( some people write it with a dot like this /i/ Is it correct) is a close, high, front, unrounded, and a short vowel.
/e/( As in bed, the symbol /e/ is represented also by/ɛ/) is a front, unrounded, and short vowel.
Could you please tell me if my description is correct?
All the best
