It's a new year! Let's smash some language learning goals and flex those pronunciation muscles!
In this episode of English Sound Building, we learn more about the most common sound in English: schwa. This sound is important in distinguishing between stressed and unstressed syllables, and stressed and unstressed words (we'll talk about this more in a future episode).
In the first few minutes, I give some tips on making the sound. If you're happy with that, feel free to skip straight to 3.50 ready for the workout to begin. We look at some common words containing schwa, as well as some fun and challenging sentences with a lot of schwa sounds.
Practise as often as you can to build muscle memory, and make sure you subscribe so you don't miss the next one.
The Podcast script is now available free on my Patreon, as is a free video bonus for this episode. There's more free English there, too.
