- In this video you will learn how to pronounce the /æ/ sound in British English. I also also compare the /æ/ and /e/ sounds, so you will learn the difference between words like "mat" and "met", "bad" and "bet", etc. We'll look at the sound in isolation, then in words, and then in sentences.

I can hear the difference quite clearly, with most British people. When it is Americans speaking, I really can't hear any difference.
😑😑😑
same...
Não sei se você é brasileiro, mas se for o caso realmente fica mais perceptível para nós no sotaque britânico, pois as vogais parecem mais claras. No inglês estadunidense eles parecem "relaxar" mais, o que dificulta a percepção.
Yes, I am Russian and do confuse these 2 sounds. Thank you Emma
99.9% говорят ошибочно эпл, гэлэкси, бэд, и так далее, хотя в этих словах нет "э", спорить с этими людьми бесполезно

Dear Emma, congratulations for your pronunciation lessons and sessions. They are very useful. You are good at finding sufficient details forming necessary explanations, and producing sounds yourself.
You told me that a position of my mouth was incorrect in respect of a couple of vowels. To make corrections, it is not easy, but you really help by providing tips.
cool ! thank you !
Brilliant lesson, Emma!

Thank you Teacher Emma for your video. Keep up the good work.
Awesome presentation!
This is Prokash Chakravarty from Bangladesh. I request you to conduct a live session. Thank a bunch, Emma.
Hi Emma, regarding words ending with the diphthong ae, I've noticed in recent years of politicians, rather than pronounce China ending with 'uh', they are pronouncing it as Chin(ae). Especially Donald Trump who emphasised this very strongly. I could be wrong but I think Chinese people already to pronounce it this way. Maybe it could be the same for India but I wouldn't know.
Thanks miss Emma
Hi Emma, Happy New Year 2021. Thanks for your explanation about these sounds. It’s amazing.
Could I ask you about how to pronounce ‘Apple’ and ‘Better’ correctly as a consonant sound between 2 short vowel sounds in the middle of a word?
I have been feeling confused about the skill of how to pronounce these words correctly.
Apple - æp.əl
I’m not sure if we hold the sound p for the first Vowel - ‘æ’ and release the rest of the exploded sound of p for the L(əl) sound like some skills from connected speeches? Or we pronounce vowel æ and the sound Ple(pəl) separately? Because the short vowel æ is too short that I can’t identify the difference (æp pəl or æ pəl)?
And “Better - bet.ə” sound t, which is an exploded consonant sound between 2 short vowels. Is it bet-tə (hold the first part of t for the first vowel ‘e’ and release the rest for the next vowel ‘ə’)? Or pronounce be-tə (be-very short vowel sound e and pronounce tə separately)?
Looking forward to hearing from you😊
it's easier to release a plosive with a vowel after it, so say it like "a - pul" and "be - ta"
Hope that helps! :)
@@Pronunciationwithemma
Hi Emma, thanks for your reply and information.
Based on your explanation,
Apple [pronounce a complete short vowel sound A and then the full sound of Pul, rather than Ap(half p) + Pul(half p)] and,
Better [pronounce a combination of Be and then the full sound of Ta, rather than Bet(half t) + Ta(half t).
Am I correct? 😊
I don’t understand what you mean by a half p and b. Sorry 😅
Thankyou ma'am 🌹🌹
