Ingles Americano Vocales
* This is the commonest sound in the English language, called the Schwa.
"To", "the", "at", "from" and "for"are pronounced like this except at
the end of a phrase, in which case the 'strong' form (Eg 'to' rhyming with
'shoe') may be used. The strong forms of "the" (rhyming with "tea") and
"to" may also be used before a vowel. The strong forms of "and" and
"but" are used for emphasis. See Other Sounds to hear Schwas in a
sentence.
** Several pronunciations here conflict with those given in the MerriamWebster Dictionary. The sounds speak for themselves. Please let us
know if you have any comments on our classifications.
