they won and welcome back to
pronunciation with Emma today we're
going to have a look at the sounds oh
and oh don't let's start with the first
sound Oh
so we need to start with that schwa if
you want to know more about the schwa in
detail I do have I think two other
videos about the schwa there is a more
detailed one and one that's really quick
if you don't have time or you're lazy
whatever I'll link those in the
description for you but here I'm just
gonna give a very quick a brief
description so make sure that your mouth
is completely relaxed when you do this
sound you don't do anything with your
tongue you don't do anything with your
lips or your jaw or anything like that
everything is completely relaxed
uh-uh-uh
that's it now the second sound is in all
so make sure that firstly your lips are
rounded like this it is also a short
sound so ooh and also make sure that
your tongue is not curled like this
otherwise you get a sound like make sure
that your tongue is quite flat although
it may raise at the back just a little
bit oh oh so we need to transfer
transform we need to transition between
that schwa do the all sound so we have
oh oh oh and that's the first sound the
second sound is all all notice that this
is not as rounded as the all sound so
you have oh and all its open just a
little bit more so you have all and all
all all now your tongue may go back
again for this if you keep it flat it's
actually quite hard to do so you may
feel your tongue moving back a little
bit so what I mean is the back of your
tongue will kind of move up and further
back that's very normal so we have all
or or okay let's have a look at some
minimal pairs together that we can
compare the sounds in words so we have
own oh oh oh on
or on on cohhd cohhd cohhd odd odd odd

restaurant or a cafe or something and
