Thanks you very much teacher
I have been struggling with this sound, but here I got over it, the trick of dropping jaw rather opening wide mouse is spot on. thanks a lot.
Wow you are amazing, thank you so much
This is the sound I most struggled with, and I found very difficult to find a good video on this sound. Now, thanks to you though, there's a great lesson on the /ʌ/ sound. Thank you!!! ⭐️
Bianca you’re very welcome! I’m so glad I could make a video which helps people!
Hi I am from India I am also doing
Bianca, in BE it is a combination of A and Romanian Ă.
great tips Emma, appreciate all the knowledge you share here!
One of the only great way to learn perfect pronunciations thank you dear❤️
PraDip JaysWal you’re so kind! Thank you :)
great.
I really admire you teacher Emma. You give me the feeling to learn the english language. Thank you.
Thank you. You explain the ʌ sound clearly!! It's helpful.
Hi, Emma! I'm studying this sound for an exam and I've specially watched your video because your explanations help me a lot! Thanks!!!
Thank u for your sharing ❤
Helpful video, thank you!
By opting for IPA, you have chosen the good strategy of teaching. Good pronunciation comes first. I hope the students will practice the pronunciation after you, as I do.
this video came in quite handy, I appreciate it.
Hi Emma. you really fantastic kind teacher. I was struggling that. Thank you so much
👍😘🤗
As always, flawless!! You are the best! Thank you so much!
Saymon Mamede that’s so kind 😄 thank you
Emma, you are simply the best. 10+ years of living in England (Newcastle), a degree in TEFL from a Russian university, 15 years of teaching, including teaching here in the UK, and still when I watch your videos it is an insight every time! Never mind I know the New Headway Pronunciation course by heart. Your explanations are shorter and better. I recommend your channel to all my students.
thank you! :)
Many Thanks
I'm Russian and I'm having difficulties with differing [ʌ] and [ɑ], I'm keep working on that.
It seems I'm starting to understand it. [ʌ] for me like [a] mixed with a bit of [u], and [ɑ] for me is like strongly opened [a] mixed with some [o].
It is easy. ^ is the sound A you have in mAlAko.
But you don't have A in Russian.
The Russian word это contains both schwa (ə) and ʌ. That is, ətʌ.
Nowadays this ʌ is basically the A (as A in fAther), in British standard English.
In American Standard English an unaccentuated ʌ is pronounced ə: in the verb upset, /ʌpˈset / = /əp 'set /
But an accentuated ʌ is pronounced A (as A in fAther): in the noun upset, / 'ʌpset / = / 'Apset /
Unfortunately, there are many exeptions. Depending on dialect or even specific words, Americans may use ə instead of A, even if the rule says otherwiste. For instance, in order not to confuse BODY with BUDDY, Americans will pronounce BUDDY with ə instead of A.
@@calincucuietu8220 thx

Manish Sharma thank you :)
Great video teacher 👏 keep it up
Thanks Emma you are the best English teacher. Saludos👋😊
Orlando AGC gracias! 😄
hey this was very helpful. thx
I've looking for days for a video like this. I was so confused with all the 'a-like' sounds. Thanks a lot!
I have a series of videos coming up (they start today - there will be a new video THREE times a week) that might be useful. I’ll look at all the vowels, so you can compare them! 😁
Thanks Emma❤
As you've already commented at the beginning of your video, we Spanish speakers have difficulties producing this sound and we tend to confuse it with a more open sound. That said, I truly believe that there couldn't be a better video than this where this sound is explained. Thank you, Emma.
Anibal Mansilla that’s so true. I do chuckle when Spanish students say (or even write!) that something is “fanny” 😅 I guess that’s the childishness coming out in me! Haha (Fanny is a slang term for vagina in the UK, but is slang for bum in American English). Thank you for your lovely comment!
I like your ways of telling
Thanks, again, Emma
Can't thank you enough for this extremely helpful video! You made it really easy! I was struggling with this sound and couldn't understand how on earth it should be pronounced. When you mentioned the shwa sound it clicked me straight away! Before I was trying to pull my tongue back or speak with a nasal sound to make the /ʌ/ sound. Yes, it's the most comprehensive video! You made my life much easier! Thank you for that!
Glad you got it! :)
Love you ma'am. Thanks
Thanks Emma👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great!
This is really very helpful, thank you.. We hope you will make many videos like this with more concentrating to the reaction of the mouth. And thanks again 😇😇
I love your videos!

Great video! By the way, a word that has the /ʌ/ sound at the end of it is 'duh' (methinks)
Sadly it is /dɜː/
Source: dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/duh?q=Duh
Yes, with sounds I'm through at last))). But another problem is there.) Just listening to the song "Out of the rain" heard the next:
Out of the rain, under the shelter
I've been so long where the sun don't shine
Standing at the cross-roads, could have went either way
Why don't instead of doesn't and could have went instead of could have gone?
And why "Metallica" sings I'm still loving you when all the teachers say than verbs of feelings have no Continuous?
Do you kinda create a very lismall ght dent in the middle of the tongue when saying ʌ? Thanks!
Hi, im writing a comment from france just to say that our english teacher passed your video in class. Good job ;)
Tell them “thank you”! 🙂
Hello Emma, could you please explain the meaning of the expression (shameless plug)…?
A plug in this case refers to plugging your social media. Often times, self advertisement is looked down upon. So to have a "shameless plug,' just means that you are shamelessly advertising yourself.
Dear all, Emma does a good job explaining the contemporary standard english pronunciation. But her explanation is not enough.
History
100 years ago this sound was a combination of A and schwa. Things have changed.
1. In csep is basically an A (as in Italian, French, Latin, Spanish A). With a tinge of schwa.
2. In standard american pronunciation it is basically a schwa with a tinge of A
Btw Emma confuses the Spanish A with æ because in csep æ has become almost A. But this is not at all the case with the American æ, which is even eə in many cases

Is there any difference in the pronunciation of "ʌ" and "a" (NOTE: not "a:")?
Of course there is, she herself said it in the video... 🤦♀️
Hope google will understand me now.
I just practice with it www
I want to the exchange shirts when I order it was 3 shirts thay deliver me a 2 shirts only they some others shirts.

Nice! I can not comment on your portuguese page on Instagram. What's going on?
I have the settings on my @pronunciationwithemma and @cademinhacaipirinha pages set so that only followers can comment (to avoid spammers and bots). So you're probably not following my page. Other than that, if it's not allowing you to comment, you may need to contact Instagram.
As a matter of fact, it shows me: "The comments in this post were limited". So, I cannot comment there.😥 And your portuguese is excellent now.😄
Oh! That’s really strange. I’m sorry, I don’t know what that means or how to fix it. 😥 However, I hope it gets fixed soon!
There are no words with this sound at the end because it has restrictive occurence. It can never appear at the end of a word
flood
Isn't it unrounded /ɔ/?
Technically, yes. But to keep descriptions simple for beginners, I may describe them differently to how they're described in a phonetics textbook. How they're described here for English learners and how they're described in a phonetics textbook are potentially different. Hope that clarifies!
@@Pronunciationwithemma Ok thanks!
Is this British accent
Yes
Hi Emma ji namste u looking so gorgeous
Who deleted my message? 🤔
Probably you?
mud
sorry. i was looking at your beautiful face all the time instead of the content.
Thanks for the video Emma. Question, does it hold the same sound in "hurry" /ˈhʌr.i/ and "burrow" /ˈbʌr.əʊ/?
According to the transcription it seems so, right? 👍
