Welcome to Wake Up American, where Monday through Friday, we spend a couple minutes on a challenging aspect of American English pronunciation and walk through examples to help you achieve a more natural sound the next time you speak in American English at work, at home, or out and about town.
Today, we look at a vowel sound that commonly ends words...that many English learners miss! The mistake is that many are using a schwa sound, like the "uh" sound in "fun", instead of a short i, like the main vowel in "little".
