The Importance of the Schwa Sound

Welcome back! Have you checked out my Accent Reduction classes yet?

This week many people have emailed to ask about the English schwa vowel sound. This vowel sound is found in both American and British English and it is the most common sound in the English language.

The best place to learn about the schwa is here on the BBC website. Be sure to view the funny video at the bottom of the page.

Charlsie Childs has some great lessons on the schwa vowel sound on her CD, Improving Your American English Accent. You can check it out by clicking on the link here. Improve Your American English Accent : Overcoming Major Obstacles to Understanding
