: Besides, I cross-referenced both British and American dictionaries,

: British pronounciation and the standard American pronounciation
: seems to be that the British sounds more nasal and muscular.
: Even on American TV programs, the pronounciation of "fun"
: sounds far from what flyinball described (ok, fine, perhaps
: not THAT far, but not as close to ㄈㄤˋ)
: : flyinfall said in his post:

: : Now, it would be really weird if they do say "飯，四聲飯"，but
: : ㄈㄢˋreally isnt't that far from the way people pronounce it here
: : in the US, regional or not.
: Thanks for the reiteration,

Apparently we are talking about two different leagues. As Flyinball has
identified him as a tutor at an bu-shi-ban, my suggestion that going after
the slight differences (of course the one between "fun" and "fan" falls out
of the criterion) in pronunciation is fruitless is for beginners. For native
speakers, such kind of subject can spark a lengthy discussion. But for most
of those learners at bu-shi-ban's, who can not even handle basic
conversations, there are a helluva things more fundamental they should focus
on. Learn to walk before you (I mean "they") run.
Djnospam is right by saying Flyinball is a 美語老師 because all the
bu-shi-ban's in Taiwan teach American English; do not question why, the
parents request it.
Now, I marvel at your English, would you mind disclosing where you are from?
