SchwaThe Invisible Vowel Sound.

The schwa // is the most important sound in English for three simple reasons:

It is always weak

It is the most common vowel sound (1 in every 3 vowels we say is a schwa)

It is neutral the tongue lips and jaw are relaxed.

The key problem for learners of English pronunciation, is that the schwa is also invisible!It can be spelt with any of the vowels of English:

a as in amazing /mez/

e as in father /f:/

i as in lentil /lentl/

o as in computer /kmpju:t/u as in supply /spla/

How can a student of English master the schwa sound?

Firstly, learn to pronounce it. Relax the jaw, lips and tongue and say //.

(Download the free sample of TheSound of Englishto hear it).

Secondly, look for the stress in a word the schwa is never stressed, it will only appear

on weak syllables

except at the end of a phrase, in which case the 'strong' form (Eg 'to'

rhyming with 'shoe') may be used. The strong forms of "the" (rhyming

with "tea") and "to" may also be used before a vowel. The strong forms

of "and" and "but" are used for emphasis. SeeOther Sounds to hearSchwas in a sentence.

Triple Consonant Blend Word Endings -NCH, -TCH, -RCHLets get technical!

There are 26 letters in the alphabet.

A E I O U are the vowels (and sometimes Y). The rest are consonants. The most usual sound of CHby itself in words is chuh:

Examples: Charlie had a chop and the children had chicken and chips.

CH - can sound like kuh in words that have come into English from Greek

Examples: ache, chorus, character

CH - can sound like shuh in words that have come into English from French

Examples: machine chauffeur champagne

Combined with a third consonant in -tch, -nch and -rch, the same thing applies.Most commonly, the chuh sound is blended with the, t, n, or r but

occasionally the other pronunciation is possible:

Example: architect ( ar keh tect)

Another point is that words ending with -tch -nch -rch add -es to make plurals -

Jokesan alternate to fill in time or change a participation activity

One of the best ways to study English is through jokes. Stories can be long and complicated, and by the

time you get to the end, you realize that you missed some crucial element in the very beginning, so the

whole book doesn't make any sense. With a joke, however, you read a couple of lines and either

you get it or you don't.

1.

A guy walks into a bar with a newt on his shoulder. "What do you call that?", asks the bartender. "I call him

Tiny, because he's my newt!"

2. A skeleton walks into a bar and says, "Gimme a beer, and a mop."

3. A soccer ball walks into a bar. The bartender kicked him out.

4.

A magician walks down an alley and turns into a bar.

5. A neutron walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender sets the beer down and says, "For you, no

charge!"

6.

Charles Dickens walks into a bar and orders a martini. The bartender asks, "Olive or twist?"

7.

A man walks into a bar ... says, "Ow!"

8. A mushroom walks into a bar and the bartender says "We don't serve your kind here." and the mushroom

says - "Why not? I'm a fungi."

9. Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender asks, "Would you like a beer?" Descartes replies, "I think not",

then disappeared.

10.

A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory.

11.

A pony walks into a bar and coughs, "Hey, COUGH. Gimme a bu COUGH a beer COUGH. The bartender

serves him and says, "What's with your voice?" The pony says, "Nothing, I'm just a little hoarse."

12.A guy walks into a bar with jumper cables. The bartender says, "You can come in, but don't start anything!"

19.

A blind man walks into a bar with his seeing eye dog. He lifts the dog up and swings him around over his

head by the tail. The bartender says "Hey, man! What are you doing?" He says, "Oh, I'm just looking

around."

Section 2

20.After a Beer Festival in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer. Corona's president

sits down and says, "Seor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender takes a bottle from

the shelf and gives it to him. Then Budweiser's president says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me

'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him one. Coors' president says, "I'd like the best

beer in the world, the only one made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it. The

guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The other brewery presidents look over at him

and ask, "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?" and the Guinness president replies, "Well, if you guys aren't

drinking beer, neither will I."

21.A man walks into a bar and the bartender asks him "What'll you have?". The guy answers, "A scotch,

please". The bartender hands him the drink, and says "That'll be five dollars", to which he replies "What are

you talking about? I don't owe you anything for this". A lawyer, sitting nearby and overhearing the

conversation, then says to the bartender, "You know, he's got you there. In the original offer, which

constitutes a binding contract upon acceptance, there was no stipulation of remuneration". The bartender's

not impressed, but says to the guy, "Okay, you beat me for a drink. But don't ever let me catch you in here

again". The next day, same guy walks into the bar. Bartender says, "What the heck are you doing in here? I

can't believe you've got the audacity to come back!". The guy says "What are you talking about? I've never

been in this place in my life", to which the bartender replies "I'm very sorry, but it's uncanny. You must

have a double." To which the guy replies "Thank you! Make it a scotch."
