Pronunciation CAN / CAN't

PHONETIC IS IMPORTANT!!!! 

How do native speakers pronounce CAN and CAN'T?

It seems easy to distinguish...but is it really so?

Have a look at this video.

Ok. Let's see. 

Read the following sentences and register your voice while you are doing it.

  • I can't see you.
Is your pronunciation correct?
