The Schwa Sound in Daily British Pronunciation (Modern RP)

Join my British Pronunciation Course: www.etjenglish.com
The Schwa sound (/ə/) is extremely important to British pronunciation. In this lesson, I will explain how to pronounce this vowel, and how it's used in daily British English accents, with everyday vocabulary
Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP.

[@lucaenglishteacher4059]

“actually where is my cat! 🤣😂🐾” ... that’s how I spend my days trying to focus on a TEFL level 5 course 🤣😂. You’re a top man Elliot! So professional. 😬🐾

[@makiyokoi8515]

I am Japanese and have been living in the US for over 7years and basically learned English here but since I started watching your videos, I realized the pronunciation of British English is much easier and kinder for Japanese. Especially this Schwa sound makes it easy for us to say those words with "r" sound. I love your British accent and the way you teach! Thank you Elliott! I'll be speaking a full British accent in the US soon enough.haha

[@MuhammadHaseeb-vp1re]

My best teacher on youtube regarding pronounciation is elliot

[@abiesomo-arase5217]

Thanks for this video ETJ. Here are my ten words involving schwa sounds: 1. Apple 2. Negative 3. Together 4. International 5. Data 6. Forget 7. Cancel 8. Beautiful. 9. Particular 10. Visitation

[@karlas_vibe]

I don’t see the schwa in apple and visitation

[@nacho1533]

If I had been taught this pronunciation since my first english lesson I wouldn't be now thinking every word I speak 😶

[@StarLight-op2tx]

Woaahh we miss you teacher😭♥️

[@divaantari8899]

I love British accent and I really want to be able to speak with British accent❤❤❤

[@subeerabsiye8703]

I’ve been watching your videos for a week and can already see my American accent changing to a British one slowly but surely and it’s making professional life much easier

[@ahmedabouelwafa4670]

HI Elliott, I would like to thank you so much for your stunning tips. I have taken my IELTS recently, and thank God, I have cracked it with flying colors. I have used several idioms and relied on certain idioms from your channel in my speaking. BIG THANK YOU.

[@ETJEnglish]

Congrats! ✌🏼

[@elifkapucu3203]

Hello Elliott. I couldn't understand the locals when I practiced speaking because they didn't focus enough on ipa in the English lesson in Turkey. But as I watched you, I began to understand you better. Thank you 😊

[@lottielotte]

Elliot, you look younger with this haircut! Thanks again for the vid!

[@emanmahmoud9439]

You are the best British English pronunciation teacher on KZbin

[@user-ep8iv6qo4m]

I love learning Englih and I Wish just like you ...Thank you so much my teacher.

[@alicerossi_ap]

Very clear and effective lesson, thank you so much Elliott. The schwa sound is beginning to be my "friend" and I really like it because it helps a lot to simplify the pronunciation. Here is my list: Around Address Parade Survive Comfortable Government Together Tomorrow Afternoon Understand Thanks again 🙋

[@haticehalid342]

It is a very helpful video. I was really confused about stressed syllables, and also the schwa, which you made a very great video about previously. The sound is still hard to produce though. Thanks a lot. Looking forward for your upcoming videos.

I have actually tried every tip u said very carefully and with the honesty of learning what u say accurately.. MY teachers and my friends were all impressed and shocked. They asked me howwww did u learn English like this an they all be like what a quiet big upgrade!! U sound more like a british native speaker they said. I said it's all thanks to a teacher called Elliot in KZbin! I used one of the idioms u taught me " I was over the moon when I discovered ETJ english" .. it came from my deep heart tho.. thank you for everything Elliot 😭😍😍😍

Hi Elliot! Could please interview or show one or more of your most advanced students with their new and improved British accents?
