Hi people, what's up!

I'm new in the forum, i'm sebastian, from Medellin, Colombia, 17 years old... and i'm very interested in languages learning!

Actually i'm studying english language in autodidact way. :up:

I really love it!... but, it isn't the matter.

So, i wanna know if the Schwa sounds equal in all words that contain it, i say, supply, support, apartment, the (weak form), and so on.

It's a sound that really is gettin' me crazy but i'll get it :cool:

And that's all, thanks in advance, and sorry for dorky mistakes, i'm learning! :shock::shock:

Greetings from Colombia!!

Hello,
Yes, schwa sounds the same in all those words, and pretty much the same everywhere.
You will progress better if you try to use proper English - it's expected here. I'm not referring to mistakes - everyone makes them. You need to capitalise 'I', 'English', etc.
/wanna/, if you've decided to pronounce it this way, is still written "want to". /gettin'/ is written "getting" in proper English.
You'll see all sorts of weird inventions on the 'net. Only some of them are English.
