Lets find out how to make your pronunciation more natural.
So, in fast speech we dont pronounce every word equally.
Fast words are often pronounced as this sound – theschwa.
Its a lazy sound like this:/Ə/Here are some examples.
In natural speech, grammar words like articles, prepositions can be reduced to aschwa.
Aandofcan become/Ə/.Anbecomes/Ən/.Tobecomes/tƏ/.
Acupoftea becomes/Ə/cup/Ə/tea.
Also the auxiliaryhaveis often reduced to just/Ə/.
Would havebecomes/ˈwʊd·ə/,should have–/ˈʃʊd·ə/andcould have–/ˈkʊd·ə/.
Youshouldvetold me, Iwouldvehelped.
And withgoing to, thetooften becomes/Ə/so we get/ˈɡə.nə/andwant tobecomes/ˈwə.nə/.
So, if youwannasound more natural youregonnahave to use theschwa.
使用方法概要
口语交流中，有的元音会被弱化成 “非重读央元音” /Ə/。譬如：
1. 冠词 “a”、“an”，介词 “to”、“of” 等语法词：
A cup of tea→ /Ə/ cup /Ə/ tea
Ill talk to him later→ Ill talk /tƏ/ him later
What an odd thing to say→What /Ən/odd thing to say
2. 助动词 “have”：
You should have told me, I would have helped.→You/ˈʃʊd·ə/ told me, I/ˈwʊd·ə/ helped.
I could have done that→ I/ˈkʊd·ə/ done that
3. 搭配 “going to” 和 “want to”：
Im going to go there and check→Im/ˈɡə.nə/ go there and check
Do you want to come?→Do you /ˈwə.nə/come?
