Let's talk about the AU sound. This sound is usually represented by this digraph but actually can be observed in other spellings. This sound is not included in the original vowel sounds of Latin or the long vowels of English.
The Great Vowel Shift, how it currently impacts English pronunciation, and how it is a constant source of confusion for both native English speakers and foreign language students of English
