Hearing and pronouncing the difference between can and can't is more than just having the "t" at the end. Listen for these clues:
We reduce can when it is used with another verb. It sounds like "ken" or "kn." For example, we say "I ken do that, I kn see it." We don't reduce can't, so it will have a clear vowel /æ/.
