1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, let's look at the connected sounds in a short answer
4
where you're saying what you tried for the first time at a restaurant.
5
Let's take a look.
6
It seems crazy now.
7
It seems crazy.
8
So here the T will turn into a glottal stop.
9
It seems.
10
It seems crazy.
11
At the beginning of the sentence, the whole word it, because it's such a short
12
and common word gets reduced quite a lot and it blends with the next word.
13
It seems, it seems crazy, it seems crazy now, it seems crazy now, but I was already in college,
14
but I, we tap that t in but, but I was, was.
15
We reduce that uh in was, and that's just a very short quick uh sound.
16
But I was already in college.
17
Connect the in with the sound in college.
18
But I was already in college, already in college, the first time I had boba.
19
The first time.
20
The first time I had boba.
21
So here the two T sounds in first time connect.
22
The first time I had boba.
23
I'd never heard of it.
24
I'd never.
25
So we're going to put that D and the N together, and it's called a nasal release.
26
It's the N coming out of your nose as your tongue is saying D.
27
I'd nn.
28
I'd never.
29
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
30
Heard of it at all.
31
We're going to connect all of these short words here.
32
Of it at all.
33
The word at gets kind of reduced to something sounding quite a lot like the word It.
34
Heard of it at all.
35
Heard of it at all.
36
Heard of it at all.
37
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
38
When nigh connect the nuh to the i sound, and was also gets that same reduced vowel.
39
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
40
The city I grew up in didn't have, didn't have.
41
Glottal stop there with the T before the H.
42
Didn't have.
43
The city I grew up in didn't have much in the way.
44
Much in the.
45
So we connect the N and the TH together. In the.
46
Didn't have much in the way of Asian food or dessert places.
47
Asian food or dessert places.
48
Now here this word or I could choose to break up the sentence and add some emotion to it, Asian food or dessert places,
49
or I could link them together and I could say Asian food or dessert places.
50
If I link them together and I don't give any emotion to the sentence, or turns into er.
51
Asian food or dessert places, Asian food or dessert places.
52
So here, dessert, there's a glottal stop there for the t, dessert places, dessert places back then.
53
I remember being really surprised.
54
I remember.
55
So here, I remember.
56
That first syllable in remember gets kind of reduced or blended with I.
57
I remember.
58
I remember.
59
I remember.
60
I remember being really surprised.
61
Really is the reduced form of really, and most people use really in connected speech.
62
I remember being really, really surprised when I...
63
Surprised when I...
64
Connect that D and the W there.
65
Surprised when I...
66
It sounds kind of funny to connect it with no words around it.
67
Really surprised when...
68
Surprised when I tried boba.
69
Tried boba.
70
In the same way, we're going to connect D and B here.
71
Tried boba.
72
Tried boba.
73
Tried boba for the first time.
74
For turns into for.
75
Tried boba for the first time.
76
Connect the T and the T there again.
77
First time.
78
I was like.
79
I was like.
80
So here was connects to I, and the vowel in was gets reduced.
81
It's much shorter.
82
I was like, I was like, I was like, do you eat these little pearls? Do you? Do you?
83
So here, d is the reduced form of do.
84
Do you eat becomes do you eat? Do you?
85
Do you eat?
86
Do you eat?
87
Do you eat these?
88
So we want to connect you and eat.
89
We do that with a little wha sound.
90
You, you eat, you eat these.
91
Then we take the tea in eat and turn that into a glottal stop.
92
Do you eat these little pearls?
93
Do you eat these little pearls?
94
Do you just only drink the tea?
95
Do you just, just, just, so just, the uh sound turns into something closer to I.
96
Just, just, do you just only drink the tea?
97
Also, the tea in just disappears in fast speech.
98
Do you just, do you just, do you just only drink the tea?
99
Only drink the tea?
100
What are you supposed to do?
101
What are you supposed to do?
102
So here, what are you turns into what are you?
103
What are you supposed to do?
104
Here, supposed, supposed drops that I from the first syllable.
105
Supposed becomes sposed.
106
What are you supposed to do?
107
Sposed.
108
Connect the D and the T here.
109
Supposed to.
110
And we reduce the vowel in two, but then we have the full vowel for do.
111
What are you supposed to do? To do.
112
What are you supposed to do?
113
In this video, I'll read the text twice.
114
First, with all the natural sound changes, but at a lower speed.
115
Then, at a normal speed with all the sound changes again.
116
Let me know in the comments which one you like.
117
Are you looking for a single course that explains all the connected speech rules, plus gives you thousands of sentences to practice with?
118
I've put together a full pronunciation course, focused exactly on how American English really sounds.
119
Believe me, this has been a huge amount of research on my end, and it's full of all the little details that they never tell you in textbooks.
120
All you have to do is follow along and let the repetition do the work.
121
I'll put the link in the description, but now let's get back to the video.

Warum mit diesem Video sprechen üben?

Das Video „American English Connected Reading | Food You Tried For The First Time“ bietet eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, das Sprechen im Kontext von alltäglichen Erfahrungen zu üben. Alex zeigt, wie man gesprochene Sprache flüssig gestaltet, indem er verschiedene Laute und Satzstrukturen miteinander verbindet. Das Üben mit solch authentischen Inhalten hilft nicht nur, das Hörverständnis zu verbessern, sondern fördert auch die Fähigkeit, natürliche Redewendungen und intonationale Muster zu erkennen und zu reproduzieren. Durch shadowspeak können Lernende ihr Englisch verbessern und das Sprechen im Alltag erleichtern, indem sie lernen, wie Wörter zusammenfließen.

Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext

  • „It seems crazy“: Hier wird die Verbstruktur verwendet, um eine persönliche Meinungsäußerung zu formulieren. Das Wort „it“ wird oft reduziert, was im Gespräch flüssiger macht.
  • „I’d never heard of it“: Diese Struktur zeigt die Verwendung von „would“ in der vergangenen Form und ist besonders nützlich, um über frühere Erfahrungen zu sprechen. Gehörte Wörter und Phrasen können in Shadown-Situationen wiederholt werden, um die Vertrautheit zu steigern.
  • „Didn’t have much in the way of“: Eine umgangssprachliche Ausdrucksweise, die oft verwendet wird, um Mangel zu beschreiben. Es ist wichtig, solche Redewendungen zu üben, um im Gespräch natürlicher und flüssiger zu klingen.

Häufige Aussprachefallen

Im Video gibt es einige schwierige Wörter und Klangverbindungen, die es zu beachten gilt. Zum Beispiel wird das „t“ in „it seems“ in einen glottalen Stopp verwandelt, was für Nicht-Muttersprachler verwirrend sein kann. Das Gleiche gilt für die Verbindungen wie „didn't have“, wo das „t“ und das „h“ zu einem weichen, flüssigen Klang verschmelzen. Auch das Wort „heard of it“ zeigt, wie wichtig das Englisch sprechen üben ist: Hier wird das „d“ mit „n“ verbunden, was eine nasale Freisetzung darstellt. Wenn Sie diese klingen mit Ihrer Stimme nachahmen, verbessern Sie Ihre Aussprache und Intonation enorm.

Durch gezielte Englisch Shadowing Techniken können Sie diese Herausforderungen meistern. Achten Sie darauf, diese Wörter in Ihrem eigenen Sprechen zu üben, um sicherzustellen, dass Sie sich natürlich und selbstbewusst ausdrücken können.

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.
