How do you pronounce glass in English?

Answer 1

It depends on which English accent you have. The 'a' is pronounced long as in the vowel sound in 'heart' in Received Pronunciation (as you'd usually hear on the BBC), but in many areas of the UK (and almost all of the USA), the pronunciation would be a short 'a' is in 'hat'. Hope that helps. This variation in the sound of the 'a' depending on accent applies to many other words too such as 'castle', 'path', 'last' and so on.
