So, I first learned about the SCHWA sound a week ago, even though I've been speaking my version of English all my life :). I am intrigued that even NATIVE English speakers can pronounce the SCHWA sound differently? Also the SCHWA sound can be found in words with different spellings! What a revelation! I'm open to learning so thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
