I swear, that Australian accent is killing me; making me second guess the way I pronounce things lol I stumbled across this video in my Japanese pronunciation studies, curious about the differences between the two languages...and to think that I've been doing this automatically for years without even thinking about it, makes me give lots of kudos to people learning English as a second language. If they can learn a hell of a language like English, then I can definitely learn Japanese!

Hi ! This idea of a golden time is great. After many years of teaching English, I have come to the conclusion that the main difficulty with speaking a foreign language is that the students must get used to hearing themselves speaking this language, which means uttering different sounds. Their body is not used to it, their ears find these new sounds strange. It is the physical aspect of it which is a problem.

Hello, Emma. I am a singing coach, American born and raised. I just taught a lesson to a chorus last week including the schwa. But we use two sounds for the schwa, ih and uh, mostly interchangeably. My favorite word for demonstrating this is the name of the city on the river in Michigan where cars are built - Detroit. Properly spoken the stress is on the last syllable - deTROIT. The schwa substitution can be either dihTROIT, or duhTROIT. Good video!

Hi Emma! I've seen this video and others related to the schwa sound in other KZbin channels and I see that there's something hidden that I still cannot get. I'm Spanish and for me this sound is kind of an unstressed "e" (what I consider the real sound of this vowel sound). However, I see that depending on where this sound is placed it sounds differently for me. Let me put you some examples: (when I refer "a" "e" "o" sounds I mean how these vowels are pronounced in Spanish, we only of one sound for each of them, much less complicated than English haha) In words ending with -er (better, butter, deeper ...) I hear the sound pronounced like an unstressed "a" sound (like the ^ sound). I think this is extremealy noticeable in British and Aussi acents since the final r sound is omitted. In words ending -al like chemical, principal the sound I hear is similar to an unstressed "o" There are more examples but I think you see my point. As I see it, depending on the vowel is being unstressed by replacing it with the schwa sound I find the pronunciación different. I would like know if this thing that I've mentioned is indeed real and if there is a reason behind. For me it makes no sense since the sound for the schwa must be unique. I am looking forward to hearing from you to gain insight into this topic. Thank you for your time reading me and your videos
@carriemcclung73743 жыл бұрын
Ivan, that is some great insight. I am not Emma, but I also speak German and Spanish and can see where you are coming from. I hope you see this and this helps. In words like "chemical, principal, etc" think of the sound not as an "o" from Spanish but more like the sound you would use at the beginning of the words "class/clown/climb" the "cl". It might be easier for your brain to not try to hear any kind of vowel sound in this instance. The shwa is so short it nearly drops off entirely. I hope this helps.

When you said it's a lazy sound, I'm totally agree. English is not my first or second language. So when I tried to speak like "American", when they pronounce every "R" at the end of the word, it's actually more tiring. So I prefer using schwa.

Can someone explain how You native speakers cope with that? It really blows my mind that one would create such a language. For a very long time I couldn't grasp an idea of spelling contests for kids in school and I was always confused how on Earth it would be a thing at all. For me it was so silly because spelling a word is a normal and super easy thing to do. You are almost always right with few exceptions of course. Then I started learning English and I finally understood the whole idea "why" but it was even more shocking because of this. It's sooo much easier to hear a word and have a set of letters which simply correspond with the hearing sound and voila you can write down what you hear and 100% of people will be able to pronounce it the correct way just from watching what they have written on paper. For me it's a basic rule of language so English is soooooo confusing to me. No wonder Americans on movies always ask a person to spell their name which also was so silly to me when watching movies. I was like - " why they ask that?! Isn't it obvious?!". Damn, I wish English was like my language, it would be much easier to learn. Now it's like a mystery code you will never be able to fully decipher 😥🙉
@modestofernandez45976 жыл бұрын
In my (h) opinion, it makes sense; look at it this way: firstly came language, any language, SPOKEN language; and later on, after a long long time, the group using it arrived at an agreed graphic way of representing sounds (the WRITTEN language); being those sounds either single letters, or groups of letters. From that on, it is taught, usually at early ages, and takes quite a while, to learn it. You learn to represent this sound: /'səːkəs/ in this way: "circus" that is it. You just find more 'natural' the system you already know (your native language), than other different. It may well be easier to use a system of 'one letter one sound', but that is not the case with English; it has 44 sounds, as Emma said, and they are represented graphically (written) with only 26 letters. That is why IPA came into existence, to assign one graphic symbol to one sound so there can be no confusion.

Modesto Fernandez I guess there is some truth in what you are saying here.

Well-explained! Producing the schwa is usually the most difficult sound to produce by my students. This is helpful.

I am from the UK and in British English the schwa is used more frequently, like pronouncing the city, Norwich, it’s not pronounced like nor-witch, it is more like nur-ridge and you’ll notice the schwa in there. There’s tons more examples of the schwa, also there is a town in New York called Nesconset, on Long Island it is pronounced NES-CON-SET, but in British English it is pronounced NES-CUN-SET

The whole lesson is absolutely awesome! The head part is very clearly structured and the latter part is with real Engish practice in life. Great combination it is!
