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!
