HOw do you pronounce /ʌ/ as in cut, hut, gut, suck?
Do you pronounce /ə/ as in agenda, alive, address first and make a quick sudden change to /ɑ/ as in got, god to make this sound?
Can you notice your lip and mouth change?
This ʌ sound doesn't exist in many languages, so many foreigners are having a hard time understanding it.
As far as I know, to make /ʌ/ sound, you make your lip shape same as /ə/ and push air like when you make /ɑ/ sound. It's like a small /ɑ/. Am I right?
I heard a theory that you shoud make a quick change from /ə/ to /ɑ/ with a lightening speed, so do you ever make a mouth shape change for this sound or just push at /ə/ shape?
Your advice will be highly appreciated.
