    Hello, Lucy! You are right i respect of your voice! ... but I hope your are now healthy again. Thank you for your tips. Related to the word GUITAR and why it does not follow the rule of the schwa-sound: The reason is that unlike all the other words, the stress is on the last syllable, so no schwa-sound!!!

  • @fernandotomassd
    @fernandotomassd Před 7 lety +1

    According to the phoneticians. In British English (among others) people never pronounce the /r/ sound unless is followed by a vowel sound. And the schwa sound is not usually found in stressed syllables. That's kind of a 'rule' for pronouncing the schwa ending.

  • @GregoryTheGr8ster
    @GregoryTheGr8ster Před 7 lety

    As an American, I am EXTREMELY impressed when I observe a Brit/Limey say the American English "R" authentically. Dang, that takes real skill/talent/ability.
    Also, please note that "guitar" does not have a schwa sound because the 2nd syllable is *accented*.

    Another difference in the pronunciation of "guitar" is that the last syllable receives the stress. As you said, it's gi-TAR, not GI-tar.
    I expect that influences whether the ending is likely to end with the schwa. (All of the other examples up to that point end in an unstressed syllable.)

    you should keep cultivating the Chinese market for English on Weibo. I am sure you will become a celebrity on that platform

    Sometimes you make the t silent and sometimes you pronounce it in the this word “ OFTEN “. But most of the dictionaries and native speakers they don’t pronounce T letter.So i hope you can explain this
