A great activity to practise the schwa is to listen to videos and audios in English. Our favourite resources are Ted Talks and YouTube. Simply listen to and watch the videos and listen out for the way that native speakers use the schwa when speaking. By being more aware of this sound, you’ll understand it’s importance in speaking.
Read our Blogs
