What is the SCHWA?
The SCHWA is the reduced vowel sound in English which makes your language sound more natural, like a native speaker. Each part of the series looks at the role of the schwa in different contexts. Here is a summary of the five parts:
1. English is a stress-based language
2. Introduction to syllable stress
3. Shifting stress due to suffixes
4. Shifting stress due to nouns and verbs
5. Sentence stress and reduction
This is part 1 of a 5-part series, all 3 minutes or so.
