    Brilliant! Thank you so much. I never realized that I was adapting my shwa sounds to adapt to accents! I now have to teach the shwa as an ESL teacher but had never, ever heard of it before. Your lesson was super comprehensive and I can easily adapt it to the US accent. Thank you, Emma! Absolutely brilliant!

    Hello, Emma. I am a singing coach, American born and raised. I just taught a lesson to a chorus last week including the schwa. But we use two sounds for the schwa, ih and uh, mostly interchangeably. My favorite word for demonstrating this is the name of the city on the river in Michigan where cars are built - Detroit. Properly spoken the stress is on the last syllable - deTROIT. The schwa substitution can be either dihTROIT, or duhTROIT. Good video!

    Hi !
    This idea of a golden time is great. After many years of teaching English, I have come to the conclusion that the main difficulty with speaking a foreign language is that the students must get used to hearing themselves speaking this language, which means uttering different sounds. Their body is not used to it, their ears find these new sounds strange. It is the physical aspect of it which is a problem.

    Hi Emma! I've seen this video and others related to the schwa sound in other TH-cam channels and I see that there's something hidden that I still cannot get. I'm Spanish and for me this sound is kind of an unstressed "e" (what I consider the real sound of this vowel sound). However, I see that depending on where this sound is placed it sounds differently for me. Let me put you some examples: (when I refer "a" "e" "o" sounds I mean how these vowels are pronounced in Spanish, we only of one sound for each of them, much less complicated than English haha)
    In words ending with -er (better, butter, deeper ...) I hear the sound pronounced like an unstressed "a" sound (like the ^ sound). I think this is extremealy noticeable in British and Aussi acents since the final r sound is omitted.
    In words ending -al like chemical, principal the sound I hear is similar to an unstressed "o"
    There are more examples but I think you see my point. As I see it, depending on the vowel is being unstressed by replacing it with the schwa sound I find the pronunciación different. I would like know if this thing that I've mentioned is indeed real and if there is a reason behind. For me it makes no sense since the sound for the schwa must be unique.
    I am looking forward to hearing from you to gain insight into this topic.
    Thank you for your time reading me and your videos

      @carriemcclung7374 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Ivan, that is some great insight. I am not Emma, but I also speak German and Spanish and can see where you are coming from. I hope you see this and this helps. In words like "chemical, principal, etc" think of the sound not as an "o" from Spanish but more like the sound you would use at the beginning of the words "class/clown/climb" the "cl". It might be easier for your brain to not try to hear any kind of vowel sound in this instance. The shwa is so short it nearly drops off entirely. I hope this helps.

    Good video on schwa is really important for learning how to pronounce words. Then the teacher's voice sounding like she had an opportunity for her voice to be observed by the listeners as an aesthetic asset that may be a rare experience, bringing together the class across the world to improve pronouncing English words correctly. This is where Emma is a must -listen. Moreober,. Australian accent attracts more than the others do and the reason is its soothing the ears.

    Hi, Emma. I'm from China. First of all, thanks for all your great lessons, I've learned a lot from them. I really like your bonus practice part since it can help us practice in the real life situation. Besides, I hope that you could bring us more about grammar learning. I can understand almost every sentence you speak, but I just can't say something fluently in English. Often what I'm saying is grammatically wrong. I'm a little bit upset. Hope you can help me. Thanks again.

    I don't know how you native English speakers even know how to write something down if you hear a word for the first time. Let's say you watch a movie in the cinema and then want to write review about it and u ended up not knowing how to even spell the name of a mountain for example because your language isn't phonetic. LOL

    • @Barelo
      @Barelo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Can someone explain how You native speakers cope with that? It really blows my mind that one would create such a language. For a very long time I couldn't grasp an idea of spelling contests for kids in school and I was always confused how on Earth it would be a thing at all. For me it was so silly because spelling a word is a normal and super easy thing to do. You are almost always right with few exceptions of course. Then I started learning English and I finally understood the whole idea "why" but it was even more shocking because of this. It's sooo much easier to hear a word and have a set of letters which simply correspond with the hearing sound and voila you can write down what you hear and 100% of people will be able to pronounce it the correct way just from watching what they have written on paper. For me it's a basic rule of language so English is soooooo confusing to me. No wonder Americans on movies always ask a person to spell their name which also was so silly to me when watching movies. I was like - " why they ask that?! Isn't it obvious?!". Damn, I wish English was like my language, it would be much easier to learn. Now it's like a mystery code you will never be able to fully decipher 😥🙉

    • @modestofernandez4597
      @modestofernandez4597 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      In my (h) opinion, it makes sense; look at it this way: firstly came language, any language, SPOKEN language; and later on, after a long long time, the group using it arrived at an agreed graphic way of representing sounds (the WRITTEN language); being those sounds either single letters, or groups of letters. From that on, it is taught, usually at early ages, and takes quite a while, to learn it. You learn to represent this sound: /'səːkəs/ in this way: "circus" that is it. You just find more 'natural' the system you already know (your native language), than other different. It may well be easier to use a system of 'one letter one sound', but that is not the case with English; it has 44 sounds, as Emma said, and they are represented graphically (written) with only 26 letters. That is why IPA came into existence, to assign one graphic symbol to one sound so there can be no confusion.

    • @Barelo
      @Barelo 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Modesto Fernandez I guess there is some truth in what you are saying here. Maybe I need to find a basic lessons for native English speaking kids that deal with learning how to read and by that I will comprehend more of a nature of English pronunciation. I hope there is something like that out there because I never stumbled upon such a course.

    • @TPLStaden
      @TPLStaden 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Barelo I think the reason they ask to spell names in movies is because some differently spelled names sound the same. For example, shawn, shaun, sean, etc..

    When you said it's a lazy sound, I'm totally agree. English is not my first or second language. So when I tried to speak like "American", when they pronounce every "R" at the end of the word, it's actually more tiring. So I prefer using schwa.
