Hello everybody, this is Elliot from ETJ English and welcome to this pronunciation lesson.
2
Today we're talking about the most common, the most important, and the most amazing sound in the English language.
3
And this is my favourite to teach.
4
It's the schwa sound.
5
Now, do you know what the schwa sound is?
6
Can you use it already?
7
If you can, that's okay.
8
But when you learn this, all this information is going to be extremely powerful for you to improve your pronunciation,
9
to sound more like you've been trained by a native British person
10
and you are going to just sound ten times better as an English speaker.
11
So without further ado let's start learning the schwa sound, how we use it and when we use it.
12
So first of all the schwa sound, uh, it's just uh.
13
Now it's a breath out, just follow me one more time.
14
So it sounds a little bit weird when we make it on its own, but when we put it in a word, this is when it sounds great and it sounds really British.
15
So first of all, on its own, we do use this and this is with the letter A
16
when we put it in a sentence
17
so for example yesterday i went to a lesson about history
18
a lesson a lesson okay yesterday i went to a lesson about history
19
did you notice the schwa sound it's on the a a lesson
20
but when we say it naturally it becomes a lesson
21
so we use it with the word a we can also
22
use it with the word of cup of tea cup of tea
23
and that's with an of the of becomes a a cup of tea
24
so now let's move on to the word for
25
and let's say i was asking you what are you doing for christmas this year
26
for christmas what are you doing for christmas this year instantly that will make you sound more british so practice.
27
Practice makes perfect.
28
What are you doing for Christmas?
29
Okay let's move on.
30
So we're going to move on to when we normally use this in real words, big words, okay?
31
Proper words.
32
So first of all we'll use the schwa sound with words that are ending in the r sounds.
33
So for example when I say better, an American might say better.
34
I don't say teacher, I say teacher, teacher.
35
The schwa sound is on the R sound at the end of the word.
36
Teacher, better.
37
Do you kind of understand where I'm coming from now?
38
So we can also use it with unstressed weak syllable sounds.
39
Police, police.
40
Sofa, sofa.
41
The A becomes an A, sofa.
42
The word about, about about
43
so the beginning of the word has now got the schwa
44
sound about i had to call the police yesterday i had
45
to call the police yesterday any vowel sound we can use this schwa sound
46
so let me give you a word with a schwa sound with each vowel
47
so first of all again again the a becomes a schwa
48
problem problem the e becomes a schwa sound president
49
president the i becomes a schwa sound bottom bottom the
50
o becomes a schwa sound album album the u becomes a schwa sound and we can also do it with Y.
51
For example, the word syringe, which has a Y after it, we can say syringe.
52
That's how we say it, syringe.
53
When do we use the schwa sound?
54
We use it with the R sound at the end of a word.
55
We also use it with unstressed weak syllable sounds.
56
We also will use it with any vowel sound.
57
I know it's a lot to taking is a lot of information
58
but it's so simple and all you have to do is practice
59
and the best way to practice is with a native speaker who can correct you.
60
I luckily am a Skype English teacher.
61
I am a professional English and pronunciation teacher.
62

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
