My English teacher used to correct me all the time I said can't as kæ̱nt, she says kɑːnt is the right choice, as we're learning GB Eng. I wonder if the English pronounce it that way?

Some American accents use /kæ̱nt/. English people and most others would say /ka:nt/ (or /kɑːnt/, if you like).
 
I pronounce it like : KAIN'T!!! Like Caaaaiiiiiiiin't! lol!
