There was a request to make a special video on 44 Sound.

[@shaplaful8283]

Make a special video on pronouncing the name of English 44 Sound.

[@shaplaful8283]

I want to talk to you from Bangladesh. We have to read a lot of problems in English pronunciation. Can you help us

[@rajap8320]

Hi, could you please explain the example " A man was sitting at home alone on a sofa". You said 7 schwa sounds are there but only 6 times schwa sounds were marked in red.

[@EasyENGLISHwithJames]

@@rajap8320 Hi Raja P! You are correct! There are 6 schwa sounds in that sentence. Thank you for pointing out that little mistake! I have now trimmed the video so that it skips the part where I say 7. It should be correct now (but students will have to count 6 themselves :) ) The video is actually correct (it shows 6 schwa sounds) but sometimes my brain goes crazy when I'm trying to remember everything to say. Thanks again!

[@lechugaec]

Finally a teacher who could make understand the schwa, its use and pronuntiation. Thanks a lot.

[@EasyENGLISHwithJames]

That’s awesome! Keep up the great work! Once you really master the Schwa sound, English pronunciation becomes easier! :)

[@antonioaugustopaco3209]

I here in Brazil learning English in my 70 y.o. with James. Crazy but I am doing it every single day since 4 years ago. My answer is 13 achwa sound. Much obliged!!

[@favourkolawole7175]

I think twelve schwa sounds. I really enjoyed this video. I didn't want to watch it at first because of the time, but just tried it out. You really took your time to explain things in detail, it's really helpful thanks. Could you make a video on the :IPA y

[@EasyENGLISHwithJames]

In this video I am pronouncing this sentence with 13 schwa sounds (using a British Modern RP accent). It is written (using the IPA) like this: ðə ˈmʌðə ðə ˈbrʌðə ðə ˈfɑːðər ən ðə ˈsɪstə wɜːr ɔːl təˈgɛðər ɪn ə ˈʃɒpɪŋ ˈsɛntə. BUT, don’t worry if you also put 12,14 or even 15 because in many English accents (American, Australian, Canadian and British) you will hear up to a maximum of 15 schwa sounds depending on the accent. For example…. Some accents write mother and brother with one schwa at the end of each word (mʌðə and ˈbrʌðə) but other accents have mother with two schwa sounds (məðə ˈbrəðə).

[@truthispower2282]

In the last sentence, there are 15 schwa sounds.. Thanks a lot dear brother.

[@MuhammadRiaz-hm1zf]

This is a wonderful video on schwa topic dominating all other schwa related videos.Your way of explanation is superb. Thanks. where is second part of this video.
