Ah, sounds fair - the O is very much pronounced O in French and I didn't realise how similar to A it would be in English. Thanks!
So English is weird; any non-stressed syllable in a word has the exact same vowel sound: the schwa
It's basically a very neutral vowel sound because we are lazy speakers.
