Difficulty with vowels I am still having trouble hearing the differences of some of the Vietnamese vowels. I have attempted to write the phonetic transcription for each vowel, though some of them sound the same which is where the trouble lies. A /a/ as in cot  /ə/ as in asleep Ă /ae/ as in back O /Ɔ/ as in thaw Ô /o/ as in snow Ơ /-not exactly sure on this one. E /ɛ/ as in bed Ê /e/ as in paid U /u/ as in shoe Ư /u/ same but without rounding lips. I /i/ as in bead I have a lot ò trouble with Ơ and Â. If someone could look over what I have and maybe make corrections or if you have tips to better hear the differences. Thanks!
