157. Schwa – The BEST Vowel Sound in English
The InFluency Podcast
The Most Common Vowel Sound in American English
The schwa is the most frequent vowel sound in American English and it exists in almost every other word in English, especially in words with two syllables and more. It's not a real vowel but a reduction of all the other vowels in English if they appear in unstressed syllables. If you know what the primary stress is then you are still going to be 100% clear.
