6
I just wanted to update everyone.
7

8
So here, just wanted, that T gets dropped.
9
Just wanted.
10
I just wanted.
11
Now here, wanted, the T in the middle of wanted gets completely removed too.
12
wanted wanted to update and this is interesting
13
because we could say to update with a wuh sound in the middle
14
or we could just relax speak quickly
15
and say to update to update I just wanted to update
16
I just wanted to update everyone update everyone update everyone that's a very light T at the end
17
and it connects to the e in every.
18
I just wanted to update everyone about the website issues people were reporting. About the. About the.

That t at the end of about gets connected to the the in the. About the.
20
About the website issues.

27
People were reporting.
28

29
Now that L sound before a W sound gets reduced.
30
People were.
31
It's not a very strong people were.
32
There's not a strong L there.
33
People were reporting.
34
Now we have two r sounds right next to each other. Were reporting.
35
And they just link together.
36

37
About the website issue is people were reporting.
38

39
We found the, found the, the D and TH connect together.
40

41
G and Y.
42
It doesn't make a new sound, but you can hear it kind of connects.
43
G, yesterday, found the bug yesterday.
44
G, yesterday, we found the bug yesterday.
45
And pushed out a fix.
46
And pushed, that D in and gets removed.
47
and pushed and pushed out a fix.
48
Pushed out a fix.
49
The D and the OW sound connect together, and the T and the UH sound connect together.
50

The D and the OW sound connect together and the T and the UH sound connect together.
52
Pushed out a fix.

54
Pushed out a fix early this morning.
55
So here this gets reduced very heavily.
56
Early this, this, this, the vowel and the the sound both get reduced.
57
They're spoken very quickly without a really full sound.
58
This, this, early this morning.
59
It should have only affected.
60
It should have.
61
So here, it turns into it.
62
It should.
63
It should.
64
It's a glottal stop instead of a T in it.
65
It should have only.
66
Now here, have, should have turns into should've.
67
It should have only affected a handful of users.
68
Handful.
69
That D in handful is either really, really light or not there at all.
70
Handful.
71
Handful.
72
Both are okay, with or without the D.
73
A handful of users.
74
And here, of gets reduced.
75
You could say handful of users, handful of users, or handful of users.
76
Both are okay.
77
We can have a v sound or nothing.
78
Handful of users.
79
Both are okay.
80
Handful of users running older browsers.
81
We'll keep an eye out.
82
We'll keep an eye out.
83
That will turns into will.
84
The L at the end of will gets reduced and it's not really a full L sound.
85
It's more like a vowel.
86
Will, will keep.
87
Now, this reduction only works in fast speech.
88
You've got to say the L if you're speaking slowly and clearly.
89
Will keep, will keep an eye out.
90
Or, will keep, will keep an eye out.
91
Will keep an eye out for any new bug reports.
92
Now, two things here.
93
With for, we turn for into fur.
94
Fur, like there's no vowel at all.
95
and then out before an F, before any consonant sound, turns into out with a glottal stop.
96
Out for any.
97
Out for any.
98
We'll keep an eye out for any new bug reports.
99
I just wanted to update everyone about the website issues people were reporting.
100
We found the bug yesterday and pushed out a fix early this morning.
101
It should have only affected a handful of users running older browsers.
102
We'll keep an eye out for any new bug reports.

Über diese Lektion

In dieser Lektion befassen wir uns mit den verbundenen Klängen im American English, die während eines Meetings in einem Technologieunternehmen verwendet werden. Ziel ist es, das Englisch sprechen üben zu verbessern, insbesondere in Bezug auf flüssige und natürliche Sprachverbindungen. Wir werden spezifische Beispiele und Redewendungen aus dem Gespräch analysieren, um dir zu helfen, die englische Aussprache zu verfeinern und das shadowspeak zu praktizieren. Diese Übungen werden dir ermöglichen, dich im Geschäftsenglisch sicherer zu fühlen.

Schlüsselvokabular & Phrasen

  • just wanted - eine häufige Redewendung, die oft in Meetings verwendet wird.

Übungstipps

Um das shadowspeak in dieser Lektion effektiv zu üben, empfehle ich, den Rhythmus und die Intonation der Sprecher nachzuahmen. Höre dir die Beispiele aufmerksam an und versuche, die verbundenen Klänge, wie just wanted oder about the, flüssig wiederzugeben. Achte darauf, wie bestimmte Laute wie das „T“ in „wanted“ und „about“ oft weggelassen werden oder sich mit nachfolgenden Wörtern verbinden. Übe diese klanglichen Verbindungen mehrmals, um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern. Versuche, ganz entspannt zu sprechen, als würdest du dich in einem echten Gespräch befinden. Shadowing ist besonders effektiv, wenn du die Übungen mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit und dem gleichen Tonfall wie die Originalsprecher durchführst.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
