Slow down, listen closely, and start noticing when short vowel pairs glide together or stay separate.
Start hearing which short vowel pairs glide together and which ones want a little more space.
Listen closely to some common joined vowel pairs and start hearing the small differences between them.
Keep building your ear for vowel pairs that usually stay more separate and deliberate.
Finish the main vowel-pair patterns and compare a few especially useful contrasts.
Bring the vowel-pair patterns back into short phrases and let the sounds settle through repetition.
