The English short a sound does not exist in Korean. As a result, Koreans pronounce words like "sand" and "send" identically. In English, however, they are different sounds.
Instructions
To pronounce the short "a" sound correctly, use the diagram below. Slide back and forth slowly between "Den" and "Dawn." The correct pronunciation for "Dan" is in the middle. You'll probably need to drop your jaw and tongue down a little bit to get it just right. Practice using the sentences that follow.
