## Biopic syllables

Biopic has 3 syllables: BEYE-oh-pihk.

1. BEYE baɪ
2. oh oʊ
3. pihk pɪk

BY-oh-pik: "bio" as in "biography", then "pic". The common slip is "bye-OP-ik", which puts the stress on the wrong syllable and hides that it is short for biographical picture.

## Sounds to watch

### Short i versus ee

The short i (as in sit) is shorter and more relaxed than ee. Many learners stretch it into ee, which changes the word.

### Gliding vowels

The ay and oh vowels glide: start on one sound and slide into a short ee or oo. Cutting them short makes them sound like eh and aw.
