Thanks for the explanation. Although to my Slavic ear both sound almost the same.

Those vowel sounds are very similar to each other, so I understand that. The problem with English short vowels is that the difference between some of them is pretty minute. 🙄

That could very well be. There are definitely some regional variations in American English, just like there are regional differences in accents in any country.

How do I balance 'tag' so that it doesn't become 'tech'?

@pronunciationsnippets 6 ай бұрын

Good question! With "tag" the jaw has to drop more for that /a/ sound as in "apple", and we hold the vowel out a bit longer since it's followed by a voiced consonant, /g/. With "tech" the jaw stays neutral and the vowel is kept pretty short in duration because it's followed by a voiceless consonant, /k/. (By the way, part of this problem might be that you're not keeping your voice on for that /g/ sound, so your listener is hearing a /k/ instead.)
