I think the sentences "I can do that" and "I can't do that" sound the same in English. Where is the difference supposed to be?

With Americans it can sometimes sound very similar because of the cot-caught merger. But elsewhere it shouldn't be too difficult, can is /kən/ and can't is /kɑːnt/ (long "a" as in "father").

This, the sound changes and nasals a bit in the "can't", whereas "can" is dryier.

think of "can" like that french dance (with the leg kicking)
think of "can" in "can't" as "car"

nobody says can't as father you bongoloid

In Australia the a in can and can't is pronounced differently with it being pronounced in can't like the a is in bar
>>
>>77452890
With people who pronounce the a in both the same the a in can is pronounced shorter than in can't so when heard it sounds more like c'n
