How to pronounce sound in cat,hat,jack,lack ... æ
Hi,
I can't figure out how to pronounce this sound, I've read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-open_front_unrounded_vowel and http://www.soundsofenglish.org/pronunciation/a.html ,I have also heard lot of words on wiktionary and howjsay.com . I've been trying to say it, but I'm not able to do so. I substitute it with sound in 'bed' or with sound in 'but', but longer.
Any hints? thank you.

book=Dictionary&va=hat ]on-line Merriam-Webster Dictionary[/url]. You've probably read more about it than I have now, but as a start, I would suggest that you laugh (open your mouth vertically more than bet , horizontally more than but ) when you say BAT.
