English Pronunciation /æ/ vs /ʌ/ Speak English like a Native
In this video, I show you how to correctly pronounce the 2 vowel sounds /æ/ and /ʌ/. They are both short English vowel sounds that are made with your mouth nearly completely open. The /æ/ sound is made at the front of your mouth and the /ʌ/ sound is made at the back.
It is often very easy to get the sounds mixed up as there are many words in English that are the same apart from the one sound e.g ‘ban’ and ‘bun’. In this video, I show you how your mouth makes the sounds, and I then give you exercises to practice making the differences between both sounds.
Practice going like this, making both sounds one after the other: /æ/ /ʌ/ /æ/ /ʌ/ /æ/ /ʌ/ /æ/ /ʌ/ /æ/ /ʌ/ /æ/ /ʌ/ /æ/ /ʌ/
This will teach you to recognize the /æ/ sound in English speaking and English listening, and the /ʌ/ sound in English speaking and English listening
I then show you examples of wors where the one difference is these 2 sounds. Practice doing the same exercise with the following words. E.g pat put pat put pat put pat put
The words we look at are:
Bag Pronunciation
Bug Pronunciation
Mag Pronunciation
Mug Pronunciation
Bung Pronunciation
Bang Pronunciation
Lug Pronunciation
Lag Pronunciation
Bunker Pronunciation
Banker Pronunciation
Double Pronunciation
Dabble Pronunciation
This video is ideal for English Accent Training and learning British English Pronunciation. If you are an ESL student or studying IELTS, TOEIC, or TESOL, it is essential that you improve your English speaking and English listening. If you want English for traveling or English for Business, it is essential to be able to pronounce English Vowel sounds correctly and tell the difference between them.

You teach very well, you should have millions of subscribers.
English School Online Community: CZcams recently changed the way they monetise my content. My channel now needs 1000 subscribers so it would be great if you could show your support by both sharing my videos and subscribing to the channel if you haven’t already done so. Monetising my videos allows me to invest back into the channel by creating more frequent videos so a small gesture from you goes a huge way for me! Many thanks for your support.
Check if you succeded by pressing the Mic icon in your Google search and ask: "What is a bug" and then "What is a bag". Very much needed video on youtube!
Great piece of advice. Thanks Nauka
Michael

Thank a lot!

Keep up the good practice.

Best teacher of to learn sounds i was really in need of the teacher like u.
Sir i very appreciate yoir effort..
I can not give vent to my feelings of thanks throug words
Hi Umme, Thank you for your kind words. I'm very pleased that the videos are helping, that's exactly what I want! Keep practicing and I will keep making new videos
The videos are very helpful, the explanations are very clear! You are a excellent English teacher, thank you so much!
Hi Paul,
Thank you for your great feedback, I'm please the videos are helping you. If you have any questions, just ask.

Hi, Michael,
I have noticed that the pronunciation of 'axe' in your video czcams.com/video/G4dDQyk0cnk/video.html is different from that from the Cambridge dictionary online. Is the one from Cambridge dictionary online also a good pronunciation? Also can you please recommend some good online dictionary that provide good British accent? Thank you so much!
Hi Paul, Thanks for your comment. The Cambridge dictionary is a brilliant resource for pronunciation. They provide both the British English, and American English pronunciation for every word. It's my number 1 suggested resource for looking up the pronunciation of particular words. In both my pronunciation and the Cambridge dictionary's British pronunciation, we both use the standard English /æ/ Sound. The American /æ/ sound on the website is pronounced differently though.
Does this help? Well done for working on your British Accent!
Michael
Thank you so much!! I was a little confused why my teachers said the second vowel is like the letter "a" in Spanish, but now I get it, both sounds come from the "back" more or less, they share some similarities, although I guess it's not the same. Thank you so much. Now I can see the differences between these two vowels in English!
Hi Anélica. I'm really pleased this video has helped you see the difference! Your teacher was right to tell you that as a reference point. Making the sound at the back of the mouth is really important to pronouncing it correctly. Well done for making the effort!
thank you mate, the video is exactly what I was looking for, you helped us a lot. Clever examples and in succession and contrast to train out voice muscles.
Hi Evasuser. Glad you found it useful! Are you good with the 2 sounds?
yes, I am mostly comfortable, I can detect the /æ/ and /ʌ/ with a success rate of 90% or better,
I can successfully reproduce the /æ/ and /ʌ/ most of the time, say 50% or higher.
Thank you for the video, well though out and helpful. btw are you an engineer or have you trained as an engineer, eg.elec, mech etc?
Thats good, it's just to keep practicing then to perfect it. I've not trained as any of those, though I do find those subjects interesting. What made you ask?
the analytical way you present the sounds, it reminds me the experiments in the lab while at school.
It's exactly what a (distant) learner expects from a teacher, clear instructions on how to successfully and repeatably reproduce the 2 subtle sounds.
I hope you will keep making videos in exactly the same way. Thank you for the video, your help is invaluable.
best teacher ever
Thank you Chakila! Do you have any requests for future videos?
I found all your videos are very helpful and would love to recommend them to my students. It is such a pity that not all of them can get access to you tube.
Hi Cai, I'm pleased you've found them helpful, and it would be great for your students if they could see them. What social media channels can they access?
@@britishaccentmethod Most of my students could only get access to social media in China, for instance, WeChat, Tudou and Weibo. I was wondering if you have heard of WeChat? It is the most popular social media in China.
Thanks
You're welcome

THanks so much for the good lesson!
I am confused about the words like sunny， Tommy, Williams
should the consonant sounds "n" and "m" "l" be used twice?
sun-ny or su-nny , tom-my or to-mmy?
Hi Wang, thanks for commenting. No is the answer, just once.
They would be pronounced like this:
Tomy
Wiliams
Suny
hoter
I was told that the /æ/ sound is something between /a/ and /e/, that's why the symbol is /æ/, is that true?
I've never heard that, but it could be true. It's a good way to remember that it's between the other 2!
I have a nother question American inglish and british inglish have the same long vowels im so confused i see in british the long vowels are 3: a: i: u: c: in American English Long vowels are Others are they the same ?
Hi Hwh, Both American English and British English have the same long vowel sounds, but they are pronounced slightly differently in American English. There is an effect known as the 'R colour' which Americans use when they pronounce certain long vowels such as /ɜː/. The mouth moves towards an 'r' sound towards the end of the vowel. In British English, the mouth stays in the same position throughout the vowel.
But when can we use it Them
Hi Hwh,
You can use them in words that have these sounds. My suggestion if you want to improve these particular sounds would be to pick a few words that contain the sounds, and then practice implementing them into your speech on a daily basis.
Hope this helps,
Michael
Okey i understand it means that inglish is about memorise the pronuncaition Like un longue vowels like a: u: c: i: and 3: ? Thank you u help me so much
☝️🏃♀️🗣 Really it's great the way you teach in this tutorial.
I'm glad you like it Maria! thank you for your comment!
Æ
No sir /ae/ comes back of the mouth sir
Well, one is like the homo version of the other, it's like you just change the pitch and personality instead of the actual sound xD
