For a non-native speaker in English, the pronunciation of mantras rendered in English is not always absolutely clear.

Is the AM in I AM spoken as an English "A", somewhat lake "ae"? Or is it a Spanish or German AM (similar to the vocal sound of "some").

Same in "namah" - is it pronounced nemeh or naemaeh, that is, as an English speaker would, or is it again a, well, "real a" as in "some" or "come"?

I am - sounds more like some, even more like Sam.
