Pronounciation of "vingt", "vin", "vent", "vend"
Could you please help in distinguishing pronounciation of "vingt", "vin", "vent", "vend"?
As for me, they sound almost the same!

Indeed, as the guys said before, there are 2 different sounds: "en" and "in".
It's difficult for most of the foreigners to distinguish them.
To help you, have a look at this website, you can listen to the different sounds: http://www.languageguide.org/french/grammar/pronunciation/
You can also use Forvo to search the pronunciation of each word: https://fr.forvo.com/

Vent et vend, oui, se prononcent de la même manière. "Vingt", "vin", c'est différent, totalement différent. Le son est le même que pour "pain", "main". Peut-être pourrais tu utiliser Google Translate et sa fonction sonore pour écouter la différence.

You have 2 different nasal vowels here.
vin & vingt sound the same.
vend & vent sound the same.
