Vowel 4: /æ/


Comparison with Spanish

English /æ/ is more open than Spanish /e/ but closer than /a/. The lips are neutral. English /æ/ does not appear in end position. The spelling for this vowel is mostly <a> - bad, black, packet.

Practice

- The man was mad.
- The cat sat on the mat.
- That lamb is fat.
