Welcome to the American English Pronunciation Guide. My name is Trevor Kafka, and I am your host.

There are many different varieties of American English. I was born and raised in New York, which has given me General American English pronunciation. The English that I speak has 15 vowel sounds. 

Please view the transcript for help while listening.

Today, we will talk about the vowel sound number 1 of 15: /æ/ black cat. The mouth must be open and wide for this sound, maybe a little more than you are used to in your native language.

Listen to me saying this sound and repeat: /æ/, /æ/, /æ/

Listen to and repeat the following single-syllable words:
black
cat
bad
can
have
laugh
sad
tax
thank

Listen to and repeat the following multiple-syllable words:
eggplant
gather
happen
master
command
family
unsatisfied
understand
imagine

Listen to and repeat the following sentences:
The mad cat had a hat.
It is bad to have a laugh when your family is sad.
I can imagine you’re unsatisfied with the master’s command.

I would like to thank Shirley Thompson and Karen Taylor for their work in developing the set of key phrases that I use with each vowel, such as /æ/ black cat, /eɪ/ grey day, etc.

みなさんこんにちは! 前回のエピソードではブリュッセルの好きなところをお話ししたので今回はブリュッセルの嫌いなところをお話しします。
一つ目は、治安があまりよくないところです。ブリュッセルではスリや盗難がたまにあります。特に観光地や電車の中では、持ち物に気をつけなければいけません。
二つ目は、物価が高いところです。特にレストランや外食は、日本と比べるととても高く感じます。そのため、外食は特別な日にだけにすることが多いです。
三つ目は、天気が悪いところです。ブリュッセルではくもりや雨の日が多く、冬は日が短いので、少し悲しい気持ちになることもあります。でも、そんなときはおいしいケーキや温かい飲み物で元気を出すようにしています。
こんなふうに、ブリュッセルには好きなところも嫌いなところもありますが、どちらも含めて楽しく暮らしています。みなさんも、もしブリュッセルに来ることがあったら、ぜひ私の好きなところを体験してみてくださいね。
それでは、また次のエピソードでお会いしましょう！

BAJA LA GUARDIA

In these past months, it seems that a lot of political drama has been spinning around like a 24/7, in my world, in other people's world, everywhere. That has brought my memories to a bedtime story that I will never forget. I still can picture in mind how the book looked like, how I sat next to Mom as she read the book to me. The title was, "The Man, The Boy, and The Donkey". At that time I thought, "This boy and his father are foolish." That's why I couldn't forget the story. 

However, as I grew up, I realized that indeed, yeah, stupid things I do. Even worse, I do it because I have been told to.

The story I'm reading to you now is from https://www.fablereads.com/en/fable/the-man-the-boy-and-the-donkey.
