It's a good idea to listen closely when you hear natives speak and then to say it like they do.
There are also books that help with phonetics, especially with confusing sounds like the ones you mention: Three or tree? and Ship or sheep? are very good.

I made a fast search in the Internet about the word Beaten.
And I found just the means of the word, anyhow the result isn't very clear for me. After the word Beaten means Batir. It is right? Therefore I can use that sentence in this examples. Today I got walk very early around 7.A.M. and I made myself a chocolate beaten. I appreciate your help anyhow.

Just an idea: These two sites contain a large database with words pronounced by American and English natives.
You can download the files as mp3's as well. This way perhaps it will help you get a better grasp of the more subtle differences. http://forvo.com/languages/en/ http://swac-collections.org/?lang=eng Hope they will be helpful to you By the way a while ago I came across a program that helps you pronounce, i.e. test your pronunciation and 'grade' it, evaluate it I think - but it' s not free. I know it exists though in case you are interested.

"Beaten, bitten, bug, bag" in what I would consider a pretty neutral American English pronunciation.

But I made an instance about the use of the word in my last example, the such you've highlighted the word beaten written in my last post. There's thing that I can't understand, I know that beaten means batido, but I want to understand. Where can I use that word? For instance. I've understood that Batido is used in my country for people when they want to say. I'm beaten to chocolate. Estoy batido de chocolate. I'm no very sure, if I can use this word in the follow sentence. The cake has beaten to peach. El pastel tiene batido de Durazno. I appreciate your help anyhow.
