Hello, it's Keith once again from the Keith Speaking Academy, here to help you become a much more confident speaker of English.
7
Now then, do you sometimes listen to a native speaker and think, what did he say?
8
And then maybe you check the transcript and you go, he didn't say that.
9
For example, you may hear them say, that's interesting.
10
And then you look at the transcript and it says, that's interesting.
11
It should be interesting.
12
But he said interesting.
13
What's happening?
14
Well, this is what you could call squeezed pronunciation.
15
To squeeze, right?
16
To take the word and make it smaller.
17
Basically, what's happening is certain words in English, we don't pronounce every syllable.
18
We kind of swallow some of the sounds and it becomes squeezed.
19
It's something we do so that foreigners can't understand us, basically.
20
Just joking.
21
Now, what I'm going to do then in this video is I'm going to show you 12 everyday common words
22
that we use regularly and to see if you can hear the correct or this squeeze pronunciation.
23
I'm going to let you guess first and then so you can try and then we're going to go through each one.

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

Der Sprecher verwendet 17 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel I'm, we're, don't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.

  • Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/, aubergine /ˈoʊ.bɚ.ʒin/, courgette /kʊɚˈʒɛt/
  • Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, itinerary /aɪˈtɪnəˌɹɛɹi/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

  • /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): squeeze /skwiːz/, swallow /ˈswɑ.loʊ/, whammy /ˈ(h)wæmi/
  • Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: squeeze /skwiːz/, remind /ɹəˈmaɪnd/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/
  • /æ/ — offener als „ä“: transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, carrot /ˈkæɹət/, whammy /ˈ(h)wæmi/

So übst du mit diesem Video

  1. Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
  2. Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
  3. Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie squeeze, pronunciation, vegetable.

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.
