Thank you for sharing it with them! I appreciate every share, and look forward to talking to you in the comments!
Finally, a tutorial that I could understand and follow. I did this in front of a mirror for, maybe a thousand times or more throughout an entire month. At first, my mouth wasn't used to this and I couldn't control my tongue to stay flat on the bottom, but after first week I started seeing some improvement. Now I can do this right at almost all the time.
Hi Peter, I am so pleased to hear that my video has helped you and that it has been easy to follow. Keep making those excercises and you will see great improvement. Michael
It's strange you are not so popular as a teacher. Amazing job, exactly what I was looking for. Very constructive and practical. Some of the channels with much much more subscribers doing much much worse job. You definitely deserve your place on RUclips. Thank you.
so good to learn subtle differences between similar English sounds and practice them. For speaking any language, I have witnessed for a long time that pronunciation is so important.
you are god send!!! focusing on lips and mouth shame really helps to distinct between these sounds. you are a great hel for my linguistics class! thank you!
Good morning, it is a very interesting practise to do every day or often in a week. I am Spanish and I find troubles with this two letters. Other issue that I recognize is the spelling.
5:51 My answers 1.e 2. e, said? 3. e, pen 4. ae is an A, mat 5. e, ex so, "e" is like "ae", but not smiling that much and you need to say E sound and without opening that much the mouth. Thanks so much Michael❤ I Learn English and I'm 28 years old and it is a really challenge because accent and pronunciation. Your chanel helps so much!!
Thank you for uploading this video. I feel my cheek and mouth are really tired after practicing with you. I guess it is a good sign; I might be training the muscles I don't use too much for æ sound in my language.
Hi 張容瑄 , My pleasure. What's your native language? It's very natural for you to feel tired after practising for the reason that you've described. It's 2 weeks since you messaged this. How are you getting on with the æ sound? Michael
I'm glad it's helped you Belike! thanks for your comment. I'm giving away a free 5 day pronunciation course at the moment... You might have seen a RUclips Ad for it. Have you gained access to it? Cheers, Michael
Hi it's Michael here. I'm glad it's helped you. I know that these sounds can be difficult for Korean Speakers. Did you see the latest video on English intonation that I posted this week? Here's the link, I think you'll find it helpful: ruclips.net/video/MK9gf_ge9QA/видео.html Michael :)

I've been trying to learn this æ sound for about 30 days... Thanks sir, it really helped me. I hope I can find other sounds in your channel ( o and ^ )
Hi, well done for spending 30 days on the sound! It's consistent training like this that gets results and it seems like it's paid off. I've got videos on the channel explaining both of those sounds, and in comparison to others. I look forward to hearing how you get on with them.
Hello sir ji. I am came back after some Days busy schedule to again English pronunciation practice with your wonderful video's. Stay blessed and stay happy always sir ji 😎
Welcome back! Life gets in the way, but well done for coming back. consistent practice over time gets the best results, as you know so well done for putting in the effort. Have you seen the new video I've just posted? Here's the link to check it out: ruclips.net/video/wncMOHa4o0s/видео.html Michael
BEND stands for '/e/', SAID stands for '/ae/' , PEN stands for '/e/', MAT stands for '/ae/', EX stands for '/e/' Please assist to correct if I failed any. Thanks
How amazing! I’ve just discovered your channel and I’m quite surprised to know you were in Recife, where I am from. I’m trying to practising these exercises.
I believe that æ has a shorter and longer version. The vowel in “had” is much shorter than the vowel in “sad.” “Bad” is short when it’s the past tense of “bid” (“He bad me good day”) and much longer when it means “not good.” “Glad” as a girl’s name is much shorter than “I’d be glad to do it.”
Thanks for this useful pronunciation tip! I want to make one thing clear, though. Does the back of my tongue get more tense and closer to the roof when I pronounce /ae/ than I do with the /e/ sound?
Thanks a lot for the video, very useful for those whose native language lacks these sounds. However, I must say that the problem is with American English; yours (are you British?) is much clearer. A propósito: boa sorte com seu português!
Oi Mauricio, Obrigado pela sua mensagem! You're right, it can be a real challenge with these sounds - for me in Portuguese it was telling the difference between open and closed sounds - côco and cocô caused me a lot of embaressment when ordering a coconut water! Abraço, Michael
Thank you Michael. I have just recently came across your videos on phonics. I picked up quite a big deal from your teaching. How about man and men?Take care
Hi Choey, spot on. Men and Man is a prime example of 2 words where the only difference is these 2 sounds. How is it for you? Glad the videos have helped!
Oi Luciene, desculpe a demora. Gosto mt de Recife e quero voltar logo! I hope you are getting on well with your English. Have you learned the 'ed' ending pronunciation? This is a common pronunciation point for Brasileiros to be aware of. Michael Abraço
