Learn English Pronunciation in 2018 and develop confidence and credibility in your English Speaking and English Listening.

STOP CONFUSING THESE 2 ENGLISH VOWEL SOUNDS ʌ vs ə. In this video, I show you how to understand the difference between the 2 English vowel sounds ʌ vs ə. I show you a simple exercise to learn the correct English pronunciation of both and put both the short English vowel sounds into example words. ʌ words and ə words can be very hard to differentiate because the pronunciation of both is very similar. The correct /ʌ/ pronunciation is with your mouth almost completely open with the vowel sound coming from the back of your mouth. Correct ə pronunciation is with your mouth mi-open with the vowel sound coming from the middle of your mouth.

Thank you for being helpful and short! Been looking for a way to distinguish these two forever.

Thank you Mr. Roberts. I was struggling with these sounds ʌ and schaw. I didn't see any difference at the beginning but it's clear now.

[MrRezQ]

Watching these videos as a part of my struggles for a linguistics exam tomorrow. Can't tell you helpful these videos are. Keep up the good work!

[Francis_UD]

Subscribed mate! Been looking for videos pertaining to such topic for years!

[ALL-xblc]

It’s really helpful! Thank you so much.

You are master of phonetics and phonology indeed!

[OxfordEnglishacademy-vc]

1:11 you've shown that the phonetic symbols for the word "supply" is - /səˈplʌɪ/ which I think you might have taken from the Google dictionary but I think the word "supply" has a diphthong /aɪ/ at the end and it's correct phonetic symbols should be -/səˈplaɪ/.

Thank you so much because I was struggling so much about these 2 sounds.For me there were the same until I came across your useful video and from now on I will devote my time to practice.

[momed]

Great job, thank you really this very halpful ... We need also to know the differnce between the schwa and the sound \æ\ and also the sound \3\ ... And thanks our prof 😇😇

[dariobenjaminliendro]

I hate the schwa... especially in the transcriptions! or dictation! but your video is very hepful for me. Thanks a lot!

[sanjaybohra]

sir please make videos on consonant sounds too

[sebastianpereira]

In AmE these two sounds are pretty much the same. ʌ is stressed while ə is unstressed

[abhandikaren]

Hi ! Could you tell me if there is any difference between the sound of "a" in "Sofa" and that of "i" in "Bird" ? Please respond to me and bye !

[panzram]

At 1:36 You're not pronouncing an open-mid back unrounded vowel -- you're pronouncing its rounded counterpart, such as found in "law", "saw", "office". Your lips are rounded to produce the sound symbolized by "open o (or reverse c)" in IPA. This is not the unrounded "turned v" of IPA, which is so similar to schwa, that linguists like Chomsky and Halle didn't even bother to make a distinction between them. To make the "inverted v" sound properly, say the vowel in "law", but don't round the mouth in an "o" shape. Also, many phoneticians make a distinction solely based on nucleic emphasis -- schwa for unstressed, inverted v for stressed. Thanks for the effort, though.
