Americans pronounce “can” differently from Brits. But don’t forget that reduction for the perfect accent! #SHORTS

Video Text: 

Can 

British English, it sounds like this:  

Can, can. can. 

American English sounds like this:  

Can. can. 

British: Can  

American English: Can 

Can. We relax the back of the tongue, we get an uh sound in there.  

Can 

But most of the time, we take the vowel out completely and say can. 

We do that in British English and American English. 

I can try.  

I can do that. 

Can
