Hello.
I've been kind of dissecating the language and I found a bit of a problem when trying to separate words. The dictionaries around all transcribe the words with schwa sounds, but when I heard a teacher separating the words she didn't said the schwa, she said some other vowel similar to an short u sound, as in luck.
For example: if I separate the word adorable (which Cambridge dictionary transcribes as /ə'dɔː.rə.bl/), would be: a.do.ra.ble.
If you stress the two a's in there, would they sound as two short u's (ʌ.'dɔː.rʌ.bl)?
Thanks in advance.
