No matter how I try, the two vowels seem to sound alike. Is there a way to distinguish between the two?
They do sound alike on that site, which must be confusing. I am just off to see if can find a site in which the difference is clear - as it actually is in BrE.From the website, ʌ and ə sounds alike. I can't distinguish them.
