a rest before my next favourite: /ə:/

/ə:/ (read as the “a” in “about”) is easy, you hear it all the time, it’s the unstressed “schwa” (/ə/) we dont often notice, but that’s the next lesson..

raise the centre of your tongue, spread your lips, you get /ə:/.

examples: her, stir, year, skirt, hurt…you get the idea.
