American English Vowels - IPA - Pronunciation - Interntional Phonetic Alphabet

[gualwer]

aaah I dont know why it is so hard for me to tell the difference between ɒ as in 'Hot' and ɔ 'law'. Any advice on that?

[rachelsenglish]

@gualwer Actually, some regions don't even use the [ɔ] sound, just [ɑ] as the two are so similar. The sound really is quite the same, though there might be a slight lip rounding with [ɔ]. Also [ɔ] is in the diphthong [ɔɪ], but it is not pure in that sound.

[MrShindemon]

your pronunciation is really good !

I had been an English language teacher in my country (Bangladesh). And I admit that I'm learning a lot out of your videos. Thanks Rachel.

Thank you so much Rachel, it's the first time I comment!! but i've watched many of your videos, and let me say they are very helpful because of they're too clear. I'm a spanish native speaker. I'd like to have clear the difference between [a] sound as in father & ɔ sound. i see the difference for each one of those two vowels when staring the mouth, but I think at the time when I only listen to them. i guess I wouldn't know which of those i listen to.

Thanks in advance from Colombia.

Good video Rachel, I'll memorize this phonetic.

[paris0000up]

What a good video!

Hi Rachel. First Of All I really wnat to congratulate you on your website and channel.

I am still working on those vowel sounds because they are kind of difficult to pronounce them for non native speakers like me but every time I watch your videos I get excited and happy and I just think of going on until I am able to master them prefectly.

You inspire me!

[paticoeci]

Hey Rach!...I have a question... the word "data" is pronounced with the ə or a similar sound? or as the "A" is pronounced like "date" ??? Thanks! :)...btw this video is rly helpful!

[rachelsenglish]

@paticoeci This word is commonly pronounced both [ˈdeɪ də] and [ˈdæ də]. I personally use the first pronunciation.

[Robaojuvec]
