Pronouncing ‘a’ and ‘of’ - weak forms and the schwa
Having the correct rhythm when you speak helps you sound natural in any language.
In English, a natural rhythm usually means using strong and weak forms, or saying some words clearly and other words less so. For example,
do you WANT a CUP of COFFEE
would you LIKE a PIECE of CAKE
In this video we will look at some more examples, and focus on ‘a…..of’, a high-frequency word combination.
