To schlep is to carry. Here are some examples:
The meeting room was changed at the last minute, so we had to schlep all our stuff to the new room.
Did you schlep all these things by yourself?
We helped our friend move, and it took all day to schlep his boxes to the new apartment.
This word may look difficult to pronounce.The trick is that the c is silent. So you make the sh sound, like sheep, and then add the l.
What is it with words in English starting with "SCH"... they are always great!! Schmooze, schlep,...

The SCH in school is followed by a vowel so is pronounced like the SK in skill or ski. But it's still a wonderful word if you have a great teacher.
