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

Sobre Esta Aula
Nesta aula, você irá praticar o som mais comum e importante da língua inglesa: o som schwa. Ao longo do vídeo, aprenderá como reconhecer e usar este som em várias palavras e frases cotidianas. Com o domínio do schwa, você melhorará a pronúncia em inglês, soando mais natural e confiante, assim como um falante nativo britânico. Vamos explorar como ele aparece em diferentes sílabas e palavras, tornando a sua prática de conversação em inglês mais fluida e autêntica.
Vocabulário e Frases Chave
- schwa - o som neutro e indefinido que aparece em várias palavras.
- a lesson - observe como "a" muda seu som para schwa.

Dicas de Prática
Para aproveitar ao máximo esta prática, tente a técnica de shadowing. Ouça atentamente o ritmo e a entonação durante o vídeo e repita imediatamente após o falante. Isto vai ajudá-lo a internalizar o som schwa no contexto da fala natural. Pratique em um tom de voz semelhante e na mesma velocidade, focando em cada palavra. Para palavras como "a lesson" e "cup of tea", preste atenção à mudança do som. Você pode até gravar sua voz e comparar com a do vídeo, o que é uma ótima maneira de melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e se aperfeiçoar na prática de conversação em inglês. Ao usar essas dicas, você ficará mais confortável em usar o schwa em sua fala e se tornará mais fluente ao se comunicar. Continue praticando e divirta-se aprendendo inglês com YouTube!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
