I'm a Non native English speaker and I'm having a hard time distinctioning ''pan''
and ''pen'' (both of them sound like ''pen'' to natives when I say them) and also
''home'' and ''hum'' (both of them sound like ''hum'' to natives when I say them).
How do I make the distinction between the vowels in ''pan'' and ''pen'' and the vowels
in ''home'' and ''hum''?

I'm also having a difficult time distinctioning ''pull'' and ''pool'' (both sound
like ''pull'' to Natives when I say them).

What's your first language?

My jaw is much lower, and mouth more open, for "pan" and "home". My jaw is nearly
closed for "pen" and "hum". Try just dropping your jaw for the first two.
Also, the word is "distinguishing", not "distinctioning".
