- 🇦🇺 G'day! Today's video is a quick guide to the tricky little Aussie schwa sound! 🎙️ If you're keen to sound more natural when speaking English, understanding the schwa is a game-changer.
🤔 What's the schwa? It's a relaxed, neutral sound that replaces short vowels in unstressed syllables. I use it effortlessly, contributing to the smooth flow of connected speech.
🔍 Uncover the schwa's secrets with me as I break down its use in words like "about," "competition," and "banana." It's all about that 'uh' sound.
🎯 Mastering the schwa improves your English pronunciation, making you sound like a true Aussie. Follow my tips and examples, and you'll be using the schwa like a pro in no time.
🗣️ Learn when to use the schwa by understanding stress in words. If a syllable isn't stressed, chances are it gets the schwa treatment. I'll walk you through examples like "crocodile" and "lesson."
🔄 See how the schwa substitutes for each short vowel. From "ahead" to "connect," discover the magic of this versatile sound in everyday words.
🎤 My pro tip: Swap short vowels for the schwa for smoother connected speech. Practice with examples like "are you" becoming "are yuh." It's a game-changer for sounding like a native speaker.
📚 Brush up on your Aussie schwa skills and watch the full video. If you found this guide helpful, give it a thumbs up, subscribe for more Aussie English wisdom, and stay tuned for the next Aussie English adventure with yours truly! 🇦🇺👋

I feel like hugging you.
Thank you. It's great
Wow, thank you for the feedback 😊
mark my words by the end of this year , this channel has 100k plus subscriber or more
I hope so :)
The vibe behind folks calling the Aussie accent sassy is because it's top-notch and pretty sweet. Aussie accent nails it with the good and nice factor. Fair dinkum, right?🇦🇺
hi Amanda, just want to say that this type of videos are very helpful, more please! My english accent is all over the place after moving around several countries as a ESL speaker. I lived in AU for several years and right now want to stick to Aussie accent to help avoid confusion during communication (it's also my favourite accent). this video format allows for a lot of exercise/repetition for me to get use to the vowel positions. I appreciate it a lot!
I’m so glad it’s useful! I’ve been really busy the last few months with my podcast but I hope to create more videos like this soon. In the meantime, check out my shorts because I do have mini pronunciation activities and exercises 😊
It is a very useful video. Would you be able to make Australian phonetic alphabets as well? And more like this videos?
Amanda! It was great
Big thanks for the amazing Aussie English lessons! Your dedication to teaching is truly appreciated. Your channel has been a huge help in improving my language skills.
Especially when you take videos of everyday life and conversations, it is very unique and helpful. Amazingly you realize what problems non-English speakers have and what things are difficult for us. really thank you
Keep up the excellent work please!

We sound so casual 😂
The schwa sound is also known as the lazy schwa 🤣sums our way of speaking right up hahah
Mam I have a serious accent problem.I speak in a hybrid accent, partially British and partially Aussie and Indian.
Mam is it okay to have a hybrid accent?!
I don't think there's anything wrong with having an accent. It just shows you have a cultured background :) in saying that though, if you did want to improve your accent to sound like a more natural English speaker, look at the technique called "shadowing"
Can I communicate with you and help me learn through conversation?
Hi, you can look at my website - www.aussieenglishwithamanda.com. I do 1:1 and group classes for conversations
Bloody hell, and I thought Japanese was hard to learn.
