/ɜ:/ compared to other long vowel sounds - Easy Improvement

Are you making this English Pronunciation mistake?
Learn Native Pronunciation of the /ɜ:/ sound

One very effective way to learn English vowel sounds, is to learn them in comparison to other vowel sounds. The benefit of doing this is that not only do you develop an awareness for where the target sound is in the mouth, but you also become more aware of the other vowel sounds in English too.

The /ɜ:/ vowel sound is one of the most important English vowel sounds to learn correctly, but most people struggle to put their tongue in the right position, which leads to bad pronunciation. They end up having the back of their tongue too high, (as though they are making the long /i:/ sound). One way to get around this is to compare this sound to other long English vowel sounds that come from similar positions in the mouth.

In this video you’ll learn 1 simple exercise that compares 4 of the 5 long vowel sounds in English. By doing this you will become much more aware of the correct tongue position for the /ɜ:/ sound, whilst improving your pronunciation of the other sounds too.

If you want to feel more confident when you speak English then this exercise will be essential for you in developing good pronunciation.

While producing the vowel sound, please display the sound in writing (IPA) on the screen. It will provide us with a better underdstanding.

Hello, in some videos in youtube, it was described as long schwa but it doesn't sound like that . I think your definition sounds better . I hear it as lips-relaxed version of Turkish "Ö" (Mid front rounded vowel
) . I wonder if hear it correctly .
Usually in the schools here , we pronounced that sound like "Ö" but because we round our lips too much, it doesn't sound right. I would appreciate if you answered my question and compare /Ö/ to /ɜ:/.
Thanks for the video.
