Schwa

A curvaceous young phoneme called schwa
Said "I never feel strong. It's bizarre!
I'm retiring and meek
And I always sound weak
But in frequency counts – I'm the star!"

Describing People: Personality Adjectives


Positive vs Negative
Choose the few new ones for you, check the meaning and think about people you know who could be described with them.
I'll select these for you to look up: convivial, exuberant, aloof, callous ... Be careful because some may be "false friends" and check pronunciation too.
