ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: British Pronunciation: The Most Important Sound (Schwa)

Hello everybody, this is Elliot from ETJ English and welcome to this pronunciation lesson.

Today we're talking about the most common, the most important, and the most amazing sound in the English language.

And this is my favourite to teach.

It's the schwa sound.

Now, do you know what the schwa sound is?

Can you use it already?

If you can, that's okay.

But when you learn this, all this information is going to be extremely powerful for you to improve your pronunciation,

to sound more like you've been trained by a native British person

and you are going to just sound ten times better as an English speaker.

So without further ado let's start learning the schwa sound, how we use it and when we use it.

So first of all the schwa sound, uh, it's just uh.

Now it's a breath out, just follow me one more time.

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.

So first of all, on its own, we do use this and this is with the letter A

when we put it in a sentence

so for example yesterday i went to a lesson about history

a lesson a lesson okay yesterday i went to a lesson about history

did you notice the schwa sound it's on the a a lesson

but when we say it naturally it becomes a lesson

so we use it with the word a we can also

use it with the word of cup of tea cup of tea

and that's with an of the of becomes a a cup of tea

so now let's move on to the word for

and let's say i was asking you what are you doing for christmas this year

for christmas what are you doing for christmas this year instantly that will make you sound more british so practice.

Practice makes perfect.

What are you doing for Christmas?

Okay let's move on.

So we're going to move on to when we normally use this in real words, big words, okay?

Proper words.

So first of all we'll use the schwa sound with words that are ending in the r sounds.

So for example when I say better, an American might say better.

I don't say teacher, I say teacher, teacher.

The schwa sound is on the R sound at the end of the word.

Teacher, better.

Do you kind of understand where I'm coming from now?

So we can also use it with unstressed weak syllable sounds.

Police, police.

Sofa, sofa.

The A becomes an A, sofa.

The word about, about about

so the beginning of the word has now got the schwa

sound about i had to call the police yesterday i had

to call the police yesterday any vowel sound we can use this schwa sound

so let me give you a word with a schwa sound with each vowel

so first of all again again the a becomes a schwa

problem problem the e becomes a schwa sound president

president the i becomes a schwa sound bottom bottom the

o becomes a schwa sound album album the u becomes a schwa sound and we can also do it with Y.

For example, the word syringe, which has a Y after it, we can say syringe.

That's how we say it, syringe.

When do we use the schwa sound?

We use it with the R sound at the end of a word.

We also use it with unstressed weak syllable sounds.

We also will use it with any vowel sound.

I know it's a lot to taking is a lot of information

but it's so simple and all you have to do is practice

and the best way to practice is with a native speaker who can correct you.

I luckily am a Skype English teacher.

I am a professional English and pronunciation teacher.
