Benni's phonetic triangle: <verbatim>i u/ó

y
 ę,e   o,ą
     a</verbatim>

i, y, e are flat: lips widened, tongue approaching teeth. a is neither flat nor round, but neutral. o, u are round: lips rounded and back of tongu slightly approaching the soft palate. Say ę, ą by breathing part of the air out the nose, not just the mouth.
