And it sounds like this: 01:23 /ə/ - /ə/ 01:35 So you’ll hear the schwa in lots of expressions and in lots of speech. 02:09 For example, “a cup of tea”. 02:27 There’re two schwa in that. A cup of tea. 02:56 A jar of jam. A jar of jam. 03:19 Those are two examples. 03:32 Now, have a look at this word. 03:48 And tell me where is the schwa sound in this word. 04:18 It’s quite difficult. 04:30 And I often hear people mispronouncing it. 04:51 This word is effort. Effort. 05:17 So for example, 05:29 “We made a big effort to finish the project on time.” 05:52 Effort. Effort. 06:07 Can you hear the schwa? 06:18 It’s in that second syllable. 06:32 This word has two syllables. The first one is strong 06:55 —/ˈef.ət/—the second one is weak, 07:14 and we say it with a schwa sound. 07:33 Well done if you got that right. 07:48 📌 FULL SCRIPT 📌 🎥 Credits Featuring Pronunciation Coach Jenny Dance @jdenglishpronunciation Script by @jdenglishpronunciation Script proofread by Kuan Video edited by Kuan Thumbnail background photo by Stas Knop (edited by Kuan) 📌 New Video Every Thursday And Sunday! 🍵 We appreciate all forms of support.
