What is a vowel sound made from the blending of two vowels in single syllable?

That's called a diphthong.

A diphthong is a vowel sound where your mouth changes position during the sound, starting with one vowel and gliding towards another.

Here are some examples of English diphthongs:

* "oi" as in "boy"

* "ou" as in "house"

* "ai" as in "rain"

* "au" as in "cow"

* "ey" as in "say"

Let me know if you'd like more examples or want to learn about other vowel sounds!
