Such a simple, fully understandable and effective comments of these words! Thank you so much!
The only one puzzle in your reflection of this video: a sound "shwa". No clue what it is.

[@rightenglishcourse]

Great question! The "schwa" sound is actually the most common vowel sound in English. It sounds like /uh/. Any vowel can sound like schwa. Here's a video where you can learn more about shcwa: czcams.com/video/6jhtJxNPXak/video.html
