Am finding ing difficult
In this video, I walk you through 3 simple steps to learn the difference between /æ/ Vs /e/. These 2 English vowel sounds are incredibly difficult to differentiate and I hear people confusing the 2 all the time. It’s essential for both your English Speaking and English Listening to be able to tell the difference between both sounds.
I break the video down into my 3 step process for learning the difference.
You should learn the difference between /e/ and /ɛ/ in the first place! The phoneme /e/ doesn't exist in standard English! (As opposed to NZ English)
Step one is learning how our mouth makes the sounds. I show you where your tongue should be in your mouth to make both sounds correctly. Without this, you will never make the sound correctly.
In step 2 I compare 2 sets of words (minimal pairs). In each pair of words, each word is exactly the same apart from the /æ/ sound or /e/ sound which is different. By showing you the different English pronunciations in words where this is the only difference, you will be able to focus on hearing the sound correctly.

In step 3 I do a minimal pairs test, where I cover my mouth so you can’t see what sound I’m making, and test your ability to hear the 2 sounds. This is where you can test your recognition of both the /æ/ sound and /e/ sound, to see if you’ll be able to hear the difference in a conversation. If you can’t hear the difference, then you need to keep training these 2 sounds until you can.
It’s a very practical tutorial with highly effective exercises. If you put in the practice then you will make a big important improvement in your English pronunciation and English speech.

A vs E is not only in how mouth opens and where tounge is placed, but also in how cords are compressed. I totally agree of what you say regarding mouth and toungue, but I dislike pronouncing æ with this ʌ-sh sound inside... When did we moved from e-ish æ to ʌ-sh one?

I found that another problem I have is that I sometimes can’t tell the consonant at the end of a word.

@mubashirqureshi8201thanks for video
@alinzay-op2ryCould you break down the exact steps for the mouth and tongue movements to pronounce the vowel in 'bat'? For example, should I start by opening my mouth, then stretch my lower lips back like a slight smile, and keep my tongue low with the tip touching the bottom front teeth? I keep getting closer to sounds like 'but' or 'bot' instead of that 'æ' sound in 'bat.' Any help with these specific movements would be helpful

@murtadhamohammed4116Hi,
Please compare schewa with /e/.
Great 👍
@MassiBFL5:51 My answers
1.e
2. e, said?
3. e, pen
4. ae is an A, mat
5. e, ex
so, "e" is like "ae", but not smiling that much and you need to say E sound and without opening that much the mouth.
Thanks so much Michael❤ I Learn English and I'm 28 years old and it is a really challenge because accent and pronunciation. Your chanel helps so much!!
BEND stands for '/e/', SAID stands for '/ae/' , PEN stands for '/e/', MAT stands for '/ae/', EX stands for '/e/' Please assist to correct if I failed any. Thanks
