Oh it’s so hard sometimes to get these differences because one just… doesn’t get it. Doesn’t have experience of the difference.

Yep. I literally do not hear different sounds.

The following vowels sound kind of different! I saw something that suggested the F1 or F3 vowel frequency is how natives hear the difference, but I'm not sure if that's the whole story.
