The schwa is the most frequent vowel sound in English speech. It gives English a unique sound and rhythm, as well as being a major factor to an English accent when Anglophones speak other languages.

How to make the sound: make the schwa with your jaws slightly open, your lips relaxed, and your tongue in the same position as when you wake up (everyone uses the schwa upon wakening!). Schwa is nearly always short.

在英语中，中元音是最常用的元音。它让英语有了一种独特的声音和节奏，也给了英语母语的人说其他语言打上了一个烙印。

如何发音：开口，放松双唇，把舌头放在你起床的时候它会在的位置（每个人起床的时候都会用到这个音）。这个音通常很短促。
