In portuguese: It is the same sound of "ó" in the words "pólo" (pole) and "óculos" (glasses).

[@filipecosta6129]

Yes, but in Portuguese the sound is short.

[@wallacesousuke1433]

Not really

Thanks Max!

[@EnglishwithMax]

Thank you, Evgeny!

[@filipecosta6129]

Other words: "fought" and "important". Good video! Since you are australian, is there a dictionary of Australian English with the pronunciation of all the words in phonetic symbols? I only find the pronunciation of American English and English English in dictionaries, like Oxford Dictionary and Cambridge Dictionary.

There might be one, but I don't actually know any.

Is there a slight difference between all and law? Ball and door? Thought and saw? To me the first one sounds less open than the second one and I never understand why they're both /ɔ:/

[@EnglishwithMax]

Good question. They have the same sound, but if it's followed by a consonant, you'll obviously move your mouth after the sound, which might make it seem more closed.

Please, clarify me a question: for a native British, in the talk, if I pronounce the */ɔ/* to replace the */ɒ/* in some words, it would sounds weird or wrong? Examples: *because* (/bɪˈkɔz/ instead of /bɪˈkɒz/), *opportunity* (/ˌɔp.əˈtʃuː.nə.ti/ instead of /ˌɒp.əˈtʃuː.nə.ti/), *often* (/ˈɔf.tən/ instead /ˈɒf.tən/) etc.

[@EnglishwithMax]

Good question. To me it sounds fine in "because", but a little strange in the other words. However, perhaps those would be fine in some regional accents. 🤷‍♀️
