Hi guys, just wondering how I can pronounce ʌ properly. As far as im concerned this vowel shouldnt sound anything like (a).
The Americans seem to produce this vowel more faithfully than we Brits
Check out the pronuncation of the word buck. Feel free of course to type other words with ʌ in. You can see quite a stark comparison sometimes. When I try to produce it properly, it still comes out something like b[a]ck. What do i need to do with my tongue etc.. to make it sound more sounding?
