This video should help you better pronounce the /i/ as in "need", /I/ as in "sit", and /ae/ as in "hat". These are front vowels, or vowels pronounced more in the front of your mouth. Open your mouth the most for /ae/ as in "cat" and the least for /i/ as in "need". The reading I recite here is "Nicknames" and is the 2009 copywright of Delmar Cengage Learning. This is the first thing on my channel I didn't make up myself. Be sure to listen, pause, and practice the front vowels exactly as you hear them.
