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.

If you are eager to improve your English pronunciation, 👀 watch this lesson next kzread.info/dash/bejne/qXefsbCIppWwerA.html to practise another tricky English sound!

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!

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...

Native English speaker here! Trying to help my kids with phonics homework and had no idea that this was a thing ✌🏽☺️

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

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!

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.

I really like your way of teaching I have learnt a lot of things from you .

THanks a million teacher !!!!

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.

It seems to me that most people pronounce them pretty much the same. "Accept" is supposed to be pronounced with the short A like in "addition". But some people pronounce 'addition' and 'edition' the same too. Technically, they're different.

Hi Emma! I've seen this video and others related to the schwa sound in other KZread 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

@carriemcclung7374

3 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.

Lotssssss of love and respect 4 u mam. U r a perfect teacher ever. A great teacher ever.

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 😥🙉

@modestofernandez4597

5 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.
