a and u pronunciation - do THIS to tell the difference (/æ/ and /ʌ/)

[@marcosamaral5785]

Thanks!

[@pawan7538]

I don't think anyone can explain this better than you sir ,,watching in 2022 ,,, I am shocked how perfectly you are making these sounds offcourse you are native ,, like I am shocked after watching a magic trick infront of my eyes ,, something performed so beautifully , perfectly and comfortably.❣️

[@johannareponty7814]

It will gift me that I have been waiting for past 27 years. Thanks a lot sir. You are my true teacher.

[@britishaccentmethod]

I've got a new video out today which I think you'll find useful. Check it out here: Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJfTXoimh5Zpe6M Keep going with your practice :) Michael

[@edwardsarara7506]

Hello Michael, Your explanation of difference /æ/ and /ʌ/ with the tongue is brilliant. Thanks a lot. Regards, Edward

[@britishaccentmethod]

Hi Edward, You're very welcome! I appreciate you're comment. Have you seen the new video I've posted today? Here's the link to check it out if you'd like. I cover a lot of things including vowels, the dark l, and word stress + rhythm :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIm2nGpva8d3fc0 Michael

[@alexandrasilvaparedes7997]

Before being here I watched some other videos but I sillt didn't understand. However when I watched your video I really understood and now I notice the difference, thanks a lot! You are the best explaining that. Really thanks!

[@batistut9a]

No way!! Just how I needed it to be explained. Thank youuuuu

[@shushaniksarkisian]

You are such a professional. Your tutorials are so much different and better from others, obviously made by amateurs who probably think "English is my mother tongue, let me teach pronunciation though I don't know how, so just listen and repeat after me".))) That's not working. I learned so much from you! Thanks Michael. My dream is to reduce accent with a teacher like you. But can't afford it yet.

[@sharonelgozza4545]

This is what I need to teach sir. Thank you

[@britishaccentmethod]

Hey Sharon, I'm glad it was helpful! Well done for practicing :) Did you see the video I published yesterday on English rhythm and word stress? If you didn't, take a look at it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX2sg4WBaqdsgrc I think you'll like it! Michael

[@jacksonamaral329]

good lesson.

[@nahid7422]

Amazing thanks

[@MM-tk8bp]

Big thank you for making this video!! I have APD, and I've been struggling hearing/pronouncing with these sounds. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@britishaccentmethod]

I'm glad it's helped you!! Keep going with the other videos on the channel, they will continue to help you 🙂 Michael

[@namesurname4929]

thank you very much! I also like to compare it with the situation when your doctor asks to open your mouth. So the sound /æ/ when you open it widly and you show your throat to the doctor so he/she would be abale to see it clearly. And if this is about the sound /ʌ/ you open your moth, but you hide your throat behind your tongue (you don't show throat)

[@stellarusso4186]

Such an amazing teacher!

[@britishaccentmethod]

Thanks Stella - It's great that the videos are helping you... thanks for watching them! Did you see the new video I published yesterday on Prince Harry? Take a look, I think you'll like it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/anSVq61-e8iofM0 Michael

Exactly what I needed. Thank you very much

[@britishaccentmethod]

Glad it helped! Michael

[@lorenafernandez945]

Omg thank you so much. Spanish is my first language and I've always struggled with these two sounds! To me they were basically the same. I think I've learnt now. Thank you. Lorena.

[@DaMaxtRunner]

​​@sthenes1None of them. In Spanish, A is pronounced like the O in owl (which is pronounced ah-wool).

[@QaziNadeemkhan1548]

Great video ❤

[@liammiller9296]

I like these sound comparison videos. I learn a lot from them. Thanks

[@shivakumarrejinthala2034]

Thanks bro

[@tamarkaraia561]

Great 😍

[@AnoNymous-dh2sv]

As a non-native english speaker, who has lived in the south of England for ~10 years, it's pretty clear that English has the oddity that is EXTREMELY rich in the usage of vowels in ways that other languages don't even have (e.g. most "a" sounds being similar or it just doesn't matter which version you make) and at the same time English lacks some consonant sounds.

[@alexasmith2733]

Excellent video !

[@britishaccentmethod]

Thank you very much!

[@pradeepmd9458]

Thank you so much sir

[@britishaccentmethod]

You're welcome Pradeep. It's great to have you engaging on the channel so much! I'm pleased to have you here! Michael

[@Phonetician_]

Could you make a video on modern received pronunciation accent's intonation with some examples? I'm really looking forward to it.

[@britishaccentmethod]

Hey Sam, did you see the video I published yesterday on Prince Harry's English - Apart from a few examples where he now uses American pronunciation, his English is a great example of Modern RP - and I highlight how you can do the same in the video. Check it out here (I think you'll like it!): kzbin.info/www/bejne/anSVq61-e8iofM0 Michael

[@かを知ることはできませんかを知ること]

Tell me one think does google translate or google speech uderstand native English speakers or no? I I spent 3 days of training with these /\ sound but it doesn't understand me. It understands when I say cub or cut but when I pronounce bud or crust it doesn't. When I say crust it translates as craft. Bud - bad or but. I'm so tired, I have no problems with æ and ä sounds but /\ just kills me. Also when I pronounce luck it says lock.

[@ThatOptometrist]

Amazing man!!!
