Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ma'am, Indeed, I am glad to have watched your video. It was mammoth task for me to pronounce these words however now I am able to pronounce them accurately.
Hello teacher, Would you mind if I ask you a thing? Recently I was trying to understand the "æ" sound because I'm listening to a lot of native speakers from the USA pronouncing the words with "æ" in a different way. For example, Sometimes they pronounce words like that as "ɑ" For example in the word "Got" (ɡɑːt) The letter "O" is pronounced as "ɑ", But I saw a girl from California pronouncing the word "Ask" as she was saying "ɑ" like in "Got" and not "æ" as in "Black" "Cat" I noticed as well a thing, she was saying the word "Accent" more like "ɑ" sound AS WELL as in "got" I hope you're understanding what I mean.. That's why I feel like there are two ways to pronounce the "æ" But I wanted to know if there are really two ways.. Or, It actually depends how I wanna say that, Can I choose? I usually pronounce every single word that has the "æ" sound the same way as the words "Black" and "Cat" Without saying the "ɑ" sound.. And I know it's not necessarily the "ɑ" sound that they are saying, It is to me tho, I can't see the difference lol
Hi, I think you should stick with saying the /æ/ sound in those words. The only time we really change to a somewhat different /æ/ sound is when it's together with m, n or ng (I talk about this in this video: ua-cam.com/video/HqA-s9wblIQ/v-deo.html). I'm not sure why you're hearing something closer to /ɑ/ in some speakers in some words, but to me that wouldn't sound natural so I would avoid trying to do it that way.
@@SpeechModification Wdym by together? Like after the "æ" sound? As in the word "Ham"? I don't think "Ham" is different from the word "Cat" for example, That's really confusing
It's more noticeable with the "ng" sound - hat vs. hang. It's still the /æ/ sound, but it sounds different because of the ng nasal sound. You don't need to do anything different with those /æ/ sounds, though, I was just pointing it out as a place where you might notice the vowel sounding a bit different.
Hi, I'd be happy to cover your words in a future class. Both those words have the same pronunciation, it's just usually spelled "practice" in American English and "practise" in British English.

Plz make a video on practice and practise about their pronounciation

Hi, I'll be covering "practice" on Monday: ua-cam.com/video/5vDEEv_Z7aY/v-deo.html
