I couldn't find the YouTube clips demonstrating the phonics sounding of "an" and "en". Can someone help, please.

Thanks.

Most of the dictionaries at www.onelook.com have a symbol to click on that enables you to hear the word.

Here is one dictionary's version of 'en': https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/en_1,

Thank you, Piscean.

I've checked the links and they do sound out the words but not the single sound of the letter. I'm searching for the differences of the sounding between "en" and "an" in order to read out a word.
E.g. pan, pen,.van, fan

There are a lot of YouTube clips about phonics for kids but I just couldn't find "an" and "en".

You can also listen to individual words pronounced by native speakers at Forvo.

Choose English from the list of languages, then type the word you're looking for into the search box. You'll then get a list of examples to listen to.

Thank you Emsr2d2. That link was what I had been looking for it. It is really helpful. Sometimes I want to know the pronunciation of a brand-name, an actress, etc. I didn't know how I could pronounce it. So helpful!
