А after Ч or Щ

🔻The sounds [ч′] and [щ′] are always soft in Russian,
they are combined with the letter A in the same way as other consonants are combined with Я.

🔻Compare: ча [ч'a] and дя [д'a].

🔻Therefore, here we will read the unstressed letter А as [и].

🎧🗣⬇️ Can you read these words?

час [ч′а] (hour)– часы́ [ч′и] (hours, clock)

чай [ч′а] (tea)– слу́чай [ч′и] (accident)

обеща́ть [щ′а] (promise)– пло́щадь [щ′и] (square)

🔻But at the end of the word, the unstressed syllables ЧА and ЩА retain, though inconspicuously, and we pronounce the sound [a].

🎧🗣⬇️ Can you read these words?

зада́ча [ч′а] (task)
встре́ча [ч′а] (meeting)
да́ча [ч′а] (dacha)
сда́ча [ч'а] (change)

Vowel Е after Ш, Ж, Ц
