pronunciation of hear and here Hi everybody, I have a question. I've read some texts, and I note my pronunciation of hear ( like a "hear a sound") and here ("here your book") sounds like equal to me.

thanks Amber, I really appreciate

In American English, there is little to no difference in pronunciation. It is more on the context of the situation that you judge it. For example, if I point to a book and say: "Here." I am implying a location. If I point to my ear and say: "Hear." I am implying a verb and entirely, a different word. In short, it relies on context.
