Vowel Sounds are made inside the mouth and are voiced.
You need to vibrate your vocal cords to make the sound.
In this video, we answer a question.
Where do you find vowel sound /æ/?
And now it’s your turn.
Here’s your audio pronunciation quiz.
Which word has vowel sound /æ/?
Dear ma’am!
Today I saw a man with a plaid hat on his head,
who was angry at a bat that was playing in the sand.
And then I was so glad to see my happy son,
who caught a salmon to carry it home.
Srecko’s mnemonic limerick.
🙂
Oh, my gosh. You addressed as ma’am!!!
You’re gonna pay for that!!!

I’m sure you noticed my typo…left out the word ‘me’…you addressed ‘me’ as ma’am.
Hello Eva,
I’ve just found your blog. I teach British English pronunciation in France and I’ve started a blog – but I’ve been teaching here since 2004. Can I put a link to your site on my blog as a recommendation for my students please? I can’t teach American English pronunciation so I really need an expert for my students!
Thanks in anticipation …
Paula
Paula,
