Great Lesson Eliot. I think one who have mastered this shwa sound , have mastered half of british accent.

[@quynh0926]

You have one of the most beautiful British accent ever❤❤❤❤❤

[@filippoprimavera8356]

​​@@ETJEnglish the same way to say the æ sound but in this case we have to create an open ə sound with the corner lips really wide .

So useful for us Spanish speakers. We make this mistake frequently 😢

[@boldjean-baptiste5248]

After watching more than 10 of your videos overtime, I suscribed to your channel Elioth, I really appreciate your work. To me this modern RP accent is the easiest to understand. However I know i will never master it and will end up sounding "internationnal" at best. I am fine with that. I started english at 25 years old and as a french person prononciation isn't a piece of cake. When I talk, after a certain amount of time, my brain tends to focus less on prononciation. Most people still struggle to guess where I am from and I am already fine with this result. Hopefully my children will aquire a better english than me :) Anyway, keep up the good work, you're a very good teacher !

[@sergeyshirin2603]

Quite purposeful and effective lesson, thanks a million, Elliot.

[@meno7052]

in my opinion the most diffucult sound is /ae/ for example in words like "can", "have", "thank", ....😢

[@KarolSilva-kl6tw]

the letter A in the beginning of words is always a challenge for Portuguese and Spanish speakers. We tend to say it with an open A sound, not even an ae.

[@User-m4w7i]

The other day when I was having a chat about fish and chips with a native English speaker, I said ‘battered’. But she thought I said ‘buttered’. This is the trickiest one to me.😢

Elliot , can you do a KZbin challenge where the first winner would win one accent evaluation session🙏🤍

[@chummychimchim]

Hey Elliot, Could you please explain how to pronounce when one word is ending in 't' and the next begins with 'th'. For example, "But then". Also, when a word ends with 'd' and next word begins with 'th'. For example, "I told them". I see actors doing it on screen and try to repeat after them, but can never get the pronunciation right.

[@chummychimchim]

[@KittQB]

So what is the relation between /ə/, /ʌ/ and /ɜː/ besides vowel length?

[@ETJEnglish]

the first two sounds are shorter, and as explained in the video, the /ʌ/ is more open than the schwa. The /ɜː/ sound is also a bit more open than the schwa and it's long (making it completely different from both of them). They are all fairly similar in terms of what we are doing with the mouth, however the slight opening of the jaw or change in lips can change a sound dramatically, hence they all sound different from each other. The schwa is what I call a "helper" sound because it's very neutral and we can use it to find the articulation of other vowels.

[@KittQB]

@@ETJEnglish Can we say then, when we try to pronounce the /ɜː/ as /əː/ we will be closer to perfection than trying it as /ʌː/?

[@ETJEnglish]

@@KittQB try to pronounce them using their own sounds. They are all different and should be studied separately. Simply use the schwa as a start position, to help you find the finish line. Every sound is different and it's better not to make up a new sound.
