Hello, everybody.
This is Elliot from E.
T.
J.
English.
And welcome to this pronunciation lesson.
Today we're talking about the most common the most important on the most amazing sound in the English language.
And this is my favorite to teach is the Schwab sound.
Now Do you know what the Schwab's sound is?
Can you use it already?
If you can, that's okay.
But when you learn this, all this information is going to be extremely powerful for you to improve your pronunciation to sound Mawr, like you've been trained by a native British person on you are going to just sound 10 times better as an English speaker.
So without further ado, let's start learning the Schwab's sound how we use it on when we use it.
So, first of all, the Schwab sound, uh, it's just Ah, now it's a breath out.
Ah, just follow me one more time.
Ah, so it sounds a little bit weird when we make it on its own.
But when we put it in a word, this is when it sounds great and it sounds really British.
So first of all, on its own, we do use this and this is with the letter?
A when we put it in a sentence.
So, for example, yesterday I went to a lesson about history.
A lesson, a lesson.
Okay, yesterday I went to our lesson about history.
Did you notice the Schwab's sound?
It's on the A a lesson, but when we say it naturally, it becomes a lesson.
So we use it with the word A.
We can also use it with the word off property cut purty and that's with an off the off becomes a a cup of tea.
So now let's move on to the word for Andi.
Let's say I was asking you, What are you doing for Christmas this year?
For Christmas?
What are you doing for Christmas this year?
Instantly.
That will make you sound more British.
So practice practice makes perfect.
What are you doing for Christmas?
Okay, let's move on.
So we're gonna move on to when we normally use this in riel words.
Big words.
Okay.
Proper words.
So first of all, we'll use the Schwab's sound with words that are ending in the R sounds.
So, for example, when I say better on American might say better.
I don't say teacher.
I say Teacher Teacher Schwab Sound is on the r sound at the end of the word teacher.
Better do you kind of understand where I'm coming from now, so we can also use it with unstrap est weak syllable sounds.
Police, police So far sofa the A becomes an a sofa.
The word about about about so the beginning of the word has now got the Schwab's sound about.
I had to call the police yesterday.
I had to call the police yesterday.
Any vowel sound.
We can use this Schwab sound.
So let me give you a word with a SWAT sound with each vowel.
So first of all, again, again, the A becomes a Schwab sound problem.
Problem.
The E becomes a Schwab sound President president that I becomes a Schwab sound.
Bottom bottom.
The O becomes a Schwab sound album.
Alba.
The U becomes a SWAT sound on.
We can also do it with why, for example, the word syringe, which has a y after it, we can say its syringe.
That's how we say it.
Syringe.
When do we use the swat sound?
We use it with the R sound at the end of a word.
We also use it with unstrap est weak syllable sounds.
We also will use it with any vowel sound.
I know it's a lot to take in.
It's a lot of information, but it's so simple, and all you have to do is practice on.
The best way to practice is with a native speaker who can correct you.
