Hello,
I've noticed that the phrase "I can't" is pronounced in two different ways:
Pronunciation of can't - how to pronounce can't correctly.
With usual a (like the a in bat)
and with "dark a"! (not sure what it is called
, but it is like the a in the word far)
I've also noticed that it is common in British English to pronounce it with the "dark a".
1. But are these accents in America that will pronounce "can't" with dark a?
2. Do all British say "can't" with dark a?
3. How do those who say "can't" with dark a, say "can"?
And finally, I "can't" thanks you enough for your help![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
