    I am a native speaker who has struggled with spelling and pronunciations my whole life and this has finally given me the missing key to the root of so many of my issues!

    I use this in my first class with every student since it's a good primer for basic phonetics understanding, rhythm, stress and of course, easy-to-understand pronunciation. My students are French and they never study phonetics in their schools, so they definitely need the help. Thanks for this video. It's very very useful for me!

    Super THANKS to you🙏💕

    My list of three words with the schwa are:
    a GREE => a two syllable word with the stress on the second syllable. The schwa occurs in the first one.
    RE ci pe = > three syllable word with the stress on the first syllable. The schwa occurs in the second syllable *ci*.
    And last but not least: SYl la ble. Stress on the first syllable and if my ears do not deceive me there are two schwa sounds: one in the second and another one in third syllable

    Thanks a million, dear Hadar :-) Using the schwa sound in English makes the pronunciation significantly smoother. In some languages, it's represented by certain letters; in German, by the unstressed "e." In Bulgarian, the schwa even exists as a sound, and the letter ъ.

      Both are correct. In fact the schwa is an allophone of the lax /I/ in undressed syllables! So that’s the rule you’re looking for:)
