I feel the O in ONG more like the rounded /a/ as in water you talked previously. Many American says It's a short O sound, but I feel It's not a short O and an aw sound either, It's a sound between them.
Yes, I agree, for me there are some words where the vowel seems to hover between /ɔ/ and /ɑ/. Vowel sounds are a continuum but we have set parameters for the phonemes.
Great! I've added your words to cover in Sunday's class: ua-cam.com/video/jC9Jn0ervM4/v-deo.html I have a video for productivity: ua-cam.com/video/7-IzalqhxH4/v-deo.html
Hi, the difference there is the n vs ng sounds, the rest of the words have the same sounds. Here's a video talking about n and ng: ua-cam.com/video/-DZ5GICTHVU/v-deo.html
It's good that you can hear the difference, that's the first step to making the vowels different from each other. You might want to try looking in a mirror and watching your mouth - for the words with /ɔ/ like long and wrong, you should see your lips rounding, and for the words with /ʌ/, there should be no rounding. You might also see your mouth is more open for /ɔ/ than for /ʌ/. Try it first with words that aren't minimal pairs, like "some, fun" for /ʌ/ and "saw, law" for /ɔ/.
Yes, that's difficult. I can make a video for those words for you. In the meantime, you might find this video helpful (it's about I'll, which is just like "while" without the w sound): ua-cam.com/video/YHkS8hlkRW8/v-deo.html
Christine,Thanks a million! You are always keen to help as many people as you can to learn English well.

Does 'but' have the same sound as lung or wrung?
Yes, they all have vowel schwa /ʌ/.
How to pronounce Ton, is that three sound T+u+n ?
Yes, /tən/ "tun."
