The SCHWA Sound! English Pronunciation Lesson

Brilliant! Thank you so much. I never realized that I was adapting my shwa sounds to adapt to accents! I now have to teach the shwa as an ESL teacher but had never, ever heard of it before. Your lesson was super comprehensive and I can easily adapt it to the US accent. Thank you, Emma! Absolutely brilliant! <3

I really love the way you teach pronunciations. Your every lecture is superb.

Hi Emma. My name is Katarina. I am Australian. Original I come from Croatia. I am pensioner over 70 and want to improve my English. I love your way of teaching. Thank you for your help.

Native American English speaker here. 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!

Dear Mrs. Emma; I wanna express with all my heart, You're the best english teacher of all time. Also very pretty, always very polite, very intellectual, very understanding, always very sweet... You're an angel. God bless you and your family...

Awesome lesson! I sometimes have to fill in for absent ESL and ABE tutors/instructors where I work. Your entertaining and easy to follow videos will be excellent tools to help students practice. The visuals are extremely helpful. Especially for difficult concepts like this, that we native English speakers use all the time but don't usually have to explain. Keep up the great work!

It has just been such lovely and profitable time I spent in learning the schwa sound . Thanks a lot for all your support

I have been working on this video for almost an hour to note, to understand, to practice. This helps me a lot! Thank you, Emma <3

I'm new to online teaching and I find your videos so, so helpful. The way you explain tricky concepts in such a clear and engaging way is incredible. Language learning should be fun but sometimes, as a teacher, it is hard to make it fun. Your lessons are a great resource and inspiration, thanks!

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!

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!

Best lesson ever, Emma. Thank you from all of my heart.

Hi Emma.I like to hear you.You teach casually and yet effective. Luv from Singapore.

I'm not a native English speaking person and I learned so much from this channel. Thank you Emma.

Emma you are an outstanding language teacher. Wish your enthusiasm grows with time!

I can always listen to you Not as a teacher, you have a very nice conversation. Try everything very simply and beautifully give the listener😍❤️❤️

Hi Emma!! Magnificent lesson just like each and every one of your amazing lessons. Thanks for sharing.💗💗💗👌👌👌

I re-watch this and use the imitation technique with it. And it's very useful for understanding how to pronounce phrases and sounds. Sooner I just listened it and learned to recognize english speech. But now (with imitation technique) it works in another way. Thank you for this lesson.

Mrs. Emma, You speak clearly the english language to learners. Easy to understand it. Thank you so much.
