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!
If you are eager to improve your English pronunciation, 👀 watch this lesson next th-cam.com/video/wCkONOv2JJM/w-d-xo.html to practise another tricky English sound!
English is my second language. I have been learning English for the past 50 years. You are one of the best English as a second language teachers. You explain the schwa sound really well. You're a STAR teacher.
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!
I'm new to online teaching and I find your videos so, so helpful. The way you explain tricky concepts in such a clear and engaging way is incredible. Language learning should be fun but sometimes, as a teacher, it is hard to make it fun. Your lessons are a great resource and inspiration, thanks!
After years i copmeletly understand what is the shcwa sounds...my teacher mever clared this for me...thnks a million...i feel better about pronounciation now⚘⚘
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.
I often listen to every English teachers from every corner of the world, among them you are the one of my favorite teacher I learn a lots of things from your teaching, Love you Ma'am
Hi Emma! You're such a very decent teacher.... I always look up to you. You're stunning, intelligent, & humble. All your videos are essensial for me as one of the English learners from Jakarta, Indonesia. You made me become a talented woman. Thanks a lot for everything, do appreciate that. May GOD pay you forward more than you've done to us Aaamiiin3x... Keep producing your videos, they're all useful for us as an English learner.
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
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.
I am really happy to improve my speaking or pronunciation from your lessons and I have more confident during the talking with native speakers. Thank u too much Emma ❤❤🌷

Hi Emma ..My favorite lesson was the Schwa sound lesson, it helped me to understand many words I used to get confused when I hear them but now they’re pretty clear for me also it improved my pronunciation. Would you please add more lessons about pronunciation? Thank you 🙏🏻♥️
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. Islamabad Pakistan.
I re-watch this and use the imitation technique with it. And it's very useful for understanding how to pronounce phrases and sounds. Sooner I just listened it and learned to recognize english speech. But now (with imitation technique) it works in another way. Thank you for this lesson.
I am from Turkey. Living in New zealand, i like to improve my pronunciation . most difficult part for me.but when i start to watch your video, i feel getting better. Please, more video 🙏🙏🙏
It seems to me that most people pronounce them pretty much the same. "Accept" is supposed to be pronounced with the short A like in "addition". But some people pronounce 'addition' and 'edition' the same too. Technically, they're different.
The whole lesson is absolutely awesome! The head part is very clearly structured and the latter part is with real Engish practice in life. Great combination it is!
Hi Emma!! You're the best!! I'm a colombian girl, and I'm living in Melbourne one year ago. I just discovered you 2 months ago and i love every lesson. A big hug for you, happy new year. I'll continue seeing you, you're a great teacher and every lesson is awesome and really interesting!
@@mmmEnglish_Emma at the moment I'm studying in the advance English classes, but my weakness is speak, I can't connect my brain with my tongue. I have learnt a lot of grammar and vocabulary but it's difficult for me speak correctly, for that reason improve my speaking will be my goal the next year. I'll need you to achieve it!!
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.
Hallo emma...im from indonesia.. 👋 actually i hated all about english when i was high school 😂. but now, im enthusiastic to watch all of your videos..n i just finished downloading some of your videos..now i can practice how to pronounce well from you. Youre my real teacher...I hope someday i will have a chance to speak english with a native speaker directly.. n get moreeee lessons about english 😂😂😂
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
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 😥🙉
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.
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.
@@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.
I could listen to you till the end of the world and one day longer.( I was in Australia many years ago and I do like Australian people and their accent). Greetings from Poland.

Thank you miss Emma for this great lesson! 😍😇
I was wondering about the difference between "except" and "accept" in writing using IPA charts .
It seems to me that most people pronounce them pretty much the same. "Accept" is supposed to be pronounced with the short A like in "addition". But some people pronounce 'addition' and 'edition' the same too. Technically, they're different.
It's helpful to listen to the schwa and stress words of the sentences, letting us easily comprehend the accent.

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 love English so much and like English people , too. They look nice and generouse. I like them. In my opinion, they can make me happy all the ways. I am really happy to whatching mmmenlish every time.

and they call it liberty
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
😂🤣
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 😥🙉
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.
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.
@@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..
Native English speaker here! Trying to help my kids with phonics homework and had no idea that this was a thing ✌🏽☺️
None of these words have schwa sounds. You're just saying eh and uh or ah.. I don't get it
I am brazilian. My name is Nilton. Eu moro em Aparecida de Goiânia, Goiás, Brasil. Queria conversar com alguém dos USA
She is just teaching u so pls appreciate 😊 thank you
Thanks Emma. It was absolutely practical. It should be seen as much as we can.
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.
Very helpful your videos, thanks for you, I'm Bangladeshi now at DUBAI
Love from Vietnam. Greatest teacher is here
