[lojban-beginners] [a] vs [æ]

[mudri <jammyatjammy@gmail.com>]

I'm wondering whether I'm pronouncing Lojban's 'a' too high, and I can't find a comparison of [æ] and [a] anywhere. It was mentioned somewhere else that Lojbanising the vowel of "hat" is difficult/obfuscating. However, I find it easy to interpret a Lojban 'a' as a plain English 'a' (as in, recognising {la .kamryn.} is easy, but {la .nikylys.} isn't).

Note that my English vowels are from Yorkshire, meaning that the 'a' sound is probably typical of northern England.
