  • Hello, students.

  • This is Fanny.

  • Welcome back to this English pronunciation video.

  • In this video, I'm gonna focus on two tricky vowel sounds, /æ/ and /e/.

  • I know they sound similar, but they are different sounds in English.

  • So we need to practice.

  • Let's take two example words.

  • The first word is 'bad'.

  • Can you hear the /æ/ sound?

  • 'bad'.

  • The second word is 'bed'.

  • Can you hear the /e/ sound?

  • 'bed'.

  • So 'bad' and 'bed'.

  • I know they sound practically the same, but they are different.

  • And you need to practice.

  • so keep watching.

  • Get ready, guys.
