Q:
Hello, I was wondering If the schwa sound is obligatory?
Ex:
Eventually Sounds like ɪˈven.tʃu.ə.li
But people often pronounce it with the schwa sound instead of the first "ɪ" like this:
əˈven.tʃu.ə.li
So whenever I pronounce an unstressed part of a word, is it up to me if I pronounce the vowel sound with a weaker tone or substitute it with the schwa?

A:
It doesn’t make a difference, you can say either way. When we’re talking, the second pronunciation sort of blends the syllables so it’s “easier” to say, but many also say it the first way. Just an example of personal dialect in the way we all speak a bit differently :)

Q:
Can the schwa (ǝ) sound in words like( Have, has, had) be pronounced like a short E sound when they are reduced in fast speech? For example in sentences like " He has done that for a long time" can the A in Has be reduced to the short E sound? I know that these words are reduced to schwa but i'm sure I've heard many americans pronouncing these words with a short E sound when they are reduced in a sentence.
A:
no... typically we would not pronounce that as “hes” even in fast speech. We would say “he’s” (he has, not “he is”)
Q:
Por favor, mostra-me como pronunciar the schwa sound.
