    OMG, I finally understand the way to say man, it's really hard to say it like "m-aa-uh-n". I always say it like " m-e-n"( using pure /e/) so that's why it doesnt sound correctly. Thank you Rachel, I love your videos !!!!!!!!

    This is by far the best video about the A sound I've ever seen. I'm so happy to confirm that my ears were never wrong. I guessed all of that except for the "ay" sound before "NG". I don't have enough words to appreciate this video. awesome!!!! I loved it!

    Thank you so much, Rachel! This is the best explanation ever on pronunciation of 'man', 'hand' and 'sang.' I always wondered why the actual sounds spoken are different from the IPA script.

    I've been trying to find such an explanation FOREVER! I am pretty good with accents but just couldn't figure out how the differences of ae work phonetically - and you really don't find it anywhere in the IPA! Thanks so much Rachel!

    4:52 That slow "hand" was also super useful.
