In this American English pronunciation video, we’re going to take a look at how the letter A is pronounced.This video highlights some of the work I’ve done on my Sound Chart on my website. I often get emails from people asking questions like, why is the CH in Chicago pronounced differently than the CH in choice. And my answer is always, unfortunately, the letters in English do not correspond one-on-one with the sounds of English. To know exactly how a word is pronounced, you have to look up the International Phonetic Alphabet transcription of the word. Today we’re going to look at the letter A and all the different sounds it can represent.In the word ‘exact’, it’s the AA sound, exact. In the word ‘father’, it’s the AH sound. Father. In the word ‘about’, it’s the schwa, the UH sound. About. In the word fall, it’s the AW sound. Fall. In the word ‘able’, it’s the AY diphthong. Able. In the word ‘share’, it’s the EH sound. Share. In the word ‘private’, it’s the IH vowel. Private.

So, when you see the letter A, you can’t necessarily make assumptions about how that letter is pronounced. It’s always best to look it up in a dictionary. Or, better yet, listen with your ears open as you hear native speakers. Make note of how they pronounce particular words.

That’s it, and thanks so much for using Rachel’s English.

There are two different ways to create an 'r sound' /r/, and although the tongue placement is quite different between the two, the sound they produce is very similar. An important aspect of the American /r/ is that the tip of the tongue never touches the tooth ridge during this sound!

Method 1 (solid): The back of the tongue is raised so the sides of the tongue touch the back teeth. The center of the back of the tongue is lower and the air travels through this groove to create the sound. The tip of the tongue may point upward, or may be left low.

Method 2 (dashed): The tip of the tongue is raised and curled back behind the tooth ridge while the back of the tongue stays low.
