Connected Speech - SCHWA Sound (British Pronunciation Lesson)

[@ETJEnglish]

Hello everybody! I hope you find the lesson useful. Remember, this is just a speaking technique! It doesn't mean everybody in England does it. However, it's a very important one to learn, practice and understand if you want a standard sounding British accent. If you weren't familiar with the SCHWA sound, and when we normally use it, you can watch my accent training video all about the SCHWA, on my channel. Don't forget to LIKE my Facebook page to join weekly live lessons, where you can ask me any questions: facebook.com/etjenglish

Dear Elliot. You have mentioned that you specialise in pronunciation and I was wondering if you have covered in your studies the different difficulties that learners have depending on their first language and how to help them. If so could you please recommend some material to learn more about it?

I remember being surprised when I came to uni to study English and the first time I've ever heard about this schwa sound was in my first phonetics class. Up to that point, nobody had taught us that, not at primary school, not even at high school, which is pretty sad. I teach English in the Czech republic along with studying for my master's diploma, and I try to pay attention to schwa and connected speech during my classes, as I find not enough teacher here do. So thank you for a great video!

[@olenanazarko3358]

I think, that's the widespread problem of all foreign schools.. We had the same. Moreover, teachers use their own made up "accents", a mixture of British, American and most commonly their own "accent" , and as a result, you achieve a pronunciation cocktail, rather than the one good pronunciation. So, that's why I'm on this channel right now, studying pronunciation from the scratch. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[@BuenoCorales]

Eliot, you are a very wonderful teacher. Thank you for everything.......

[@wojciechpawlowski2977]

I love your pronunciation - I love You

[@maurowinkler5106]

you´re a perfect english teacher... your GB accent

[@seunghyunyoon8525]

Hi Elliot, thanks to your videos my pronunciation is getting better although I've subscribed your channel yesterday. As an English learner living in London, my problem is connected speech. I suppose my vocabulary and pronunciation are okay. However, connected speech is very hard for me when it comes to speaking, understanding and listening (watching videos and movies). Thus I really want to hone my connected speech which will help me to understand and to have conversations with people. I would like you to make more videos about connected speech. And thank you for your commitment:)

[@aslzar]

Hi, I am Alex. I strive to improve my English speaking, but the practice is the key thing in it. So I will be happy if you can be my English speaking partner. I think it is profitable for both of us. My aim of learning languages is my education at uni. Moreover, learning foreign language is my favorite activity. To be the best in English speaking I need your help. I hope that you are thinking the same.)

[@md.anarulislam1492]

I enjoy listening your pronunciation from BD.

[@Kohl1D4Life]

I never really understood how close southern British English pronunciation and southern American English pronunciation actually are until I started watching your videos. The only thing in the first five lessons that I didn't already practice every day is the first, and even then, I never pronounce the "t" in "it," "bit," "get," or similar words.

[@digabrinez1663]

hi elliot. i enjoy watching your videos. i don't give thumbs up, but i'm ticking it as "favorite" :)

[@isc.josewilfredoaroniasilv9591]

[@BallisticaMetal]

Hey great video ! I noticed then that "Do" would be " d'ya" and "did" just " ya" ? Examples: "Do you like it" "D'ya like it? " / " Did you go out with her?" "Ya go out with her?

[@marketingsolutions6691]

That was a really informative video. I am trying to improve my skills and sound better, like a native speaker if possible! I was wondering if I used the right adjective in the first sentence. Do we use “informative” when we provide useful information, and “informational” when we provide information that may or may not be useful, is that right? Thank you in advance Elliot!

[@catherinewong758]

[@hungama2492]

mashi aydn its piece of cake lolz very easy not too tough just you have to instil rules in mind

[@hungama2492]

mashi aydn by the way if you have American accent already then why you wanna get british

[@mashaaydn8523]

Balli Dhillon because British accent is cool and in my country British accent like academic language teacher's use it like also newspaper language American is slang street style casual speaking something like that also I barely understand British accent

[@sebastianalegria3401]

it was a fine lesson Elliot, just say the English is very important these days and a language that l like it, notice that l'm gonna study traslator in English in a institute, what advice would u give me for my dream?

[@sebastianalegria3401]

[@suhanasonker7957]

Sir please make pronunciation videos.

[@ishika_wanders]

[@jakkritmuangkaew5400]

I'm fine. Thank you and you ?

[@cesarabrahammoranrosillo9428]

azu, estas cositas hacen que decline de seguir aprendiendo Inglés.

[@hnyii]

I like schwas. Btw, is that also how "again" is generally pronounced in British?

[@AsesorJane]

The real problem isn't sound like a native, actually is understanding. The tips should be a guide for people who wants to improve their listening. The accent is something else

[@akhmadripai3248]

cheers Eliot. i love u more and more.

[@blackcats871204]

when there's a s sound before a y sound the s sound changes to sh it also applies to z sound. it changes to zh what'sh ya name? what izh ya name?
