You can find thousands of Grammar/ Vocabulary videos online but not these. These Pronunciation lessons are unique and you cannot find lessons like these anywhere else. Thank you so much Diane . Thank you for teaching us real american English. ❤💛
Your comment is interesting because I haven't looked at many other videos. Many people study and speak English for a long time, but if their pronunciation is not understandable, it's frustrating and holds them back. It is my goal to help these learners. Thanks.
Your series of videos answer my questions of why and how English people shortern, compress, and stress English words. I’ve been confused about it for quite a long time. Now the problems are solved. They are so helpful. Teacher Diane, Thank you so much!❤
a good vid, English and Russian have different rhythms, i noticed that too. We don't shrink - expand words like that. In Russian every syllable last for about the same time, roughly
@@basicamericanpronunciation7726 it's probably the same like in Spanish. I actually find a lot of similarities btw Ru and Spanish. English is much richer with bowls, and for Russians it's difficult to rewind our minds to even hear them. Our mind simply En sounds to its closest Ru analogies. For example, we don't have 2 vowels like food - hood , for us the closest analogy for these both oo-s is smt in between. same with sounds like father - fun we have just one in between. had-head we don't have æ, only e th we don't have neither of them, so we'd substitute with t or s and all Ru consonants are with voice kinda. Like En b, d, v, in Ru k, p, f, s, so on, all of the consonants like that
Hi. If the word in the dictionary shows a schwa syllable, then always use schwa there. In a sentence, don't change a vowel to schwa for nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, negatives or the words 'this, that, these, those' or 'who, what where, when, how, whose, which'. For all the other types of words, like pronouns, prepositions, contractions, articles, I can't give you an exact rule. But if the word has a diphthong (two vowels together), don't change to schwa. Short words and words used often will more likely change to schwa (a, an, the, you, it, can).

Excuse me ,teacher!
When we use SCHwa sound?
Hi. If the word in the dictionary shows a schwa syllable, then always use schwa there. In a sentence, don't change a vowel to schwa for nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, negatives or the words 'this, that, these, those' or 'who, what where, when, how, whose, which'.

Short words and words used often will more likely change to schwa (a, an, the, you, it, can).
