  • I always wonder if there is difference between sound "hear" and "here"....

  • @kyb104

    there is no difference between their pronunciations

  • Can there be opposite of æ. The long æ: (as in mad, bad, for instance)?

  • @MartinLoronzo

    the long a is as in calm car art heart ....

  • thanks a lot!!this is really helpful for my students :)

  • @Damascus57 I personally think people make too much of British English and American English. In reality it is far more complicated than that and the simplification is not helpful. They are the both English and there are many regional variations. It's best for most foreign studnets to learn an international blend. After all there are more people who know English as a second language than as a first.

  • @iswearenglish Thanks for this video. You present the information very well.

  • @iswearenglish thanks!

  • @Damascus57

    You didn't avoid an 'Americanization' in that comment, because 'Americanization' should be spelt with an s and not a z: 'Americanisation'

  • I agree with the mesmearizing comment...
