What's different
Both words end in m, which lets the vowel run long, so you get more vowel to listen to than in a word like hurt. Farm is a deep, open "ah". Firm is the "er" of bird, made with the jaw almost closed.
Spelling helps here. Ir, er and ur all spell the same "er" sound (firm, term, turn), while ar spells "ah" (farm, card, start), except after w, as in warm.
聽辨重點
ɜː（heard）含糊、位置居中，ɑː（hard）開口大、清楚。
現在就開始，聽出差別。
