回復 19# cornelius 的帖子

According to what you say, am I corrected if I say unlike the long "i" sound, the long "u" sound at the beginning of the word  "union", "unicorn", "university" is not a vowel sound?
Thanks

Actually it has nothing to do with long or short sound of individual vowels.  But for "a", "e", "i" and "o", their long and short sounds are all vowel sounds.

A simple, and yet determining, rule lies in how the first syllable of the word is sounded.  The words that you mention above start with with a syllable that is sounded like "you".  This "y" is a consonant sound and hence should be preceded by the indefinite article "a", i.e. a union, a unicorn, a university.
