In this episode, we explore the “a” schwa — the soft, relaxed vowel that appears in unstressed syllables. You’ll hear how it works in real words like banana, about, camera, and sofa, and how it helps English flow more naturally. We look at examples at the beginning, middle, and end of words so you can start recognising the schwa by ear. This quick guide will help you tune into one of the most common sounds in English and build a more natural-sounding accent. Tune in and practise along.
