I have been going through as many Snippets videos as I could find, so I'm not sure if you have already addressed the following topic. I'm referring to the pronunciation of the letter "a" . A few years ago I volunteered as a substitute teacher's assistant for a friend of mine. This was at an elementary school in Houston, Texas. I noticed that the teacher pronounced the letter "A" as ""Aye" in words such as "another", 'along ""away" . I have heard this usage become somewhat more popular now. If you've already addressed the issue in a past video, then feel free to ignore this comment. As you well know an unstressed "a' is normally reduced to a schwa not just in American English but in all English speaking countries as well.

One of the best channels of teaching American accents!
Wow, I really appreciate that. Thank you for watching my videos! 🙂
Great!
I am new hare on your channel from Pakistan.
Very helpful for non native speaker.
Please make videos regularly.
A bundle of thanks
Thanks for checking out my channel Haseen--I'm really glad you've found value in it! 🙂
Great video. It is very insightful.
Thank you, Gene--I really appreciate that! 🙂
Super helpful video. Linking to stop consonants is challenging even to the most advanced non-native speakers.
Thank you, Nicole--that means a lot, coming from you! 🙂
