Check out voicehacker.co.uk/flashcards to see the flashcards for today’s podcast. You’re looking for ‘The Schwa’, under Vowels / Neutral.
The ‘tion’ combo is our focus today, and it’s actually incredibly uniform. Any time you see that ‘tion’ at the end of a word, you’ll be turning it into a small ‘schwa’ sound, just like ‘a’, or ‘after’. I know – it’s so tempting to make it huge, like ‘Shaun’ or ‘shun’. But really, it’s just a ‘shn’. Amazing!
