Hello everyone and welcome back to Pronunciation with Emma. In this video we're going to be
looking at three very commonly confused sounds /æ/ /e/ and /ʌ/. Let's start with that first
one /æ/. So you'll see my mouth is very open with this one /æ/ /æ/. The next one /e/
/e/, you'll see it's a different mouth placement this time, /æ/ /e/. And then the last one
/ʌ/ /ʌ/.You'll see it's a little bit more relaxed, but my jaw does come down slightly,
/ʌ/. So let's put these sounds into words. Have a look at these examples, listen carefully,
and repeat. Bad, bed, bud. Batter, better, butter. Wan, when, won. Bat, bet, but. Now
let's try some sentences. It's better to put butter in the batter. Let's have a look at
another sentence. But I put a bet on the bat. But I put a bet on the bat. That's it for
this video, I hope you've enjoyed it and you've learnt something new.Why not write below some
more minimal pairs, or minimal threes in this case, with those three target sounds, and
then I'll check the comments and see if you've got the right words with the right sounds.
See you next lesson, bye bye.
