Re: [YAPT] Judge my vowels

"I also included the words "bataille", "Eigääl" and "macchiato" to show that
I use the same [a] in those three languages (French, Swiss German, Italian),
including in the [aj] diphthong.

I'm no linguist, but in any case I (think I) heard [i e e: E].

"I recorded a latter of similar words from different languages to
demonstrate that I do distinguish all the vowels mentioned in 1).
Explicitly, the words are: beat [i], bit [I], Beet [e] (High German), bed
[E], Bett [E] (High German), bat [&], bätt [a] (Swiss German), Bad [a ~ A]
(High German), Baad [A] (Swiss German).

"As you can see, the [E]s of German and English are identical to me.
Züritüütsch [a] is clearly below [&] and to the front of High German "a"."

I (think I) heard [bi:t bIt bed bEd bEt b&t bat ba:d bQ(:)d].
