Thank you for your video! 😍💖🌞As always!!🏆🏆🥰🥰 Really helpful with clear explanations!! I just have a dilemma.. On one hand, this is my favorite KZitem channel for English pronunciation. But whereas someone might find those unaesthetic cartoon types of pictures as funny (at the beginning of the video) I wonder and don't get it, WhY would you put them in your great videos? 😅 They make me scared, honestly🌞 ..Perhaps they could go away from your wonderful videos' content 🙂😊

@@mariealex8443 hi! Thank you for commenting, and for your support of my channel! Linguistics and pronunciation can be quite a serious, heavy topic, so those gifs were just meant to lighten things up. They are off-putting, and I’ll do my best to limit them in the future videos. Also, please let me know if there's a specific topic you'd like me to do a video on 😉

@@smissle2506 So basically when Oculus VR- one of the first Virtual Reality headsets - was only in Beta, experimental version and hadn't been released yet, they got one, hence theVR name. They are two KZitemrs who talk about tech, make funny videos and podcasts. They're actually from the city where I studied. Sometimes saw them on the bus 😂

It's kind of easy to reproduce the schwa when it occurs in the middle of a word. However, it's a different story when it's at the beginning or end of a word. When it's in one of these two positions, all I can hear is the German sound [ɐ], which occurs in the -er ending, like in the words "wasser" and "oper". If a German word ends in a normal schwa, I can hear it. Bear in mind that I speak Neapolitan. In fact, my Italian accent is influenced by my Neapolitan phonetic system. Almost 80% of Neapolitan words end in schwa. When Brits say "doctor" and "teacher", I don't hear the schwa, I hear the German [ɐ]. When native speakers say "America" and "Canada", I hear this sound [ɐ]. I absolutely agree that we shouldn't rely on dictionaries for the correct IPA transcription of a word.

@@zothionuflth1396 Good to know! As long as it’s unstressed, the trick is to keep it very short. I also hear ɐ when Brits say doctor. But bear in mind that some American northerners also use that sound. In standard American English it’s pretty consistently ǝ in every position.
