Shadowing-Übung: How to Connect Words in English - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...

Hey everybody welcome back to my YouTube channel.
2
My name's Ariannita la Gringa.
3
In today's video, I'm going to help you connect words in English.
4
Hm... that didn't sound natural.
5
Let's see if I can say that a little bit smoother.
6
I'm going to help you connect words in English just like a native speaker would.
7
Did you notice how I just connected those words in the intro?
8
So what are connecting words?
9
Connecting words sometimes called linking is basically joining the sounds of words together.
10
Not necessarily speaking faster.
11
It's about creating a smooth flow of speech.
12
For example, listen to this.
13
My car is red.
14
Now listen to this.
15
My car is red.
16
My car is red. Hear the difference?
17
Native speakers do this all the time without even realizing it.
18
It's a natural part of spoken English.
19
Let's look at another example.
20
Hold on. Now...
21
Hold on. Much smoother right?
22
And every word either begins or ends with a vowel or consonant.
23
Vowel sounds are open and flowing like a, e, i, o, u.
24
And a consonant is a sound that stops like k, ch, r, th, y, w.
25
All right so now that we know what connecting words are and that we know the difference between vowels and consonants let's see how all this stuff actually works.
26
Let's start with rule number one consonant plus vowel.
27
This is the most common type of linking.
28
It's when a word ends in a consonant sound and the next word starts with a vowel sound.
29
You simply join the sounds together and treat them like one word.
30
For example, look at.
31
Look at. Look at the bird.
32
Look at. Hold on becomes hold on.
33
Can you hold on a second?
34
Hold on. Pick it up sounds like pick it up.
35
Pick it up.
36
A cup of tea sounds like a cup of tea.
37
A cup of tea so this sounds more like "uhv" or even "uh".
38
A cup of tea.
39
A cup of tea.
40
Turn on sounds like turn on.
41
Turn on the light.
42
Turn on. Hand it it over sounds like hand it over.
43
Hand it over now.
44
Hand it over.
45
And the last example ran out sounds like ran out.
46
I ran out of gas.
47
Ran out. Now let's go to the next rule.
48
The next rule is consonant plus consonant.
49
When a word ends in a consonant sound and the next word begins with a consonant sound you often blend or slightly change the sounds.
50
So let's check out the first example.
51
This shop. This shop.
52
So the s in this can sometimes change into a sh sound.
53
So it almost sounds like this shop and it's something that happens naturally and most people don't even realize they're doing it.
54
And another example is: is she.
55
Is she. Is she.
56
That can easily become is she where the 's' in 'is' turns into a 'sh' sound to match the 'sh' in she.
57
So you want to keep the air flow going from the ending consonant sounds into the beginning of the next one.
58
And why do we do this?
59
Well, sometimes our mouths are lazy.
60
It's easier to say two similar sounds together than to switch sounds quickly.
61
So instead of saying feel like we say feel like.
62
Feel like. I am connecting both consonants and it sounds like one long consonant.
63
For example, gas station sounds like gas station.
64
Gas station.
65
It's almost like these two words are together and the 's' connects both words: gas station.
66
Another thing that happens when we link consonants together is that sometimes a sound just disappears all together.
67
For example, next door might sound like nex' door.
68
Next door. The 't' is dropped.
69
And old man might sound like ol' man.
70
Ol' man. The 'd' is dropped.
71
Best friend might sound like bes' friend.
72
Bes' friend.
73
The t is dropped here.
74
And lastly just saying might sound like jus' saying.
75
Jus' saying.
76
The t is dropped here.
77
Now let's move on to the third rule: vowel plus consonant.
78
So what happens when a word ends with a vowel sound and the next word starts with a consonant sound?
79
Well, the word ending with a vowel just connects right to the word starting with a consonant.
80
It's really simple.
81
Me too sounds like me too.
82
Me too. As you can see there's not a big difference.
83
Pay rent sounds like pay rent.
84
Pay rent. Really nice sounds like really nice.
85
Really nice.
86
This is one of the easiest connecting rules because the key is to not pause between the words.
87
There's not a huge difference between the sounds.
88
Just let the sounds flow smoothly from one word to the next.
89
Now the next rule is vowel-to-vowel linking.
90
If a word ends with a rounded vowel sound like the "ooh" in do or the "oh" in go and the next word starts with a vowel you'll often hear a little "w" sound slip in to make it flow better.
91
For example, go out can sound like go out.
92
Go out. You're just adding a 'w' in there.
93
Go on becomes go on.
94
Go on. Do it becomes do it.
95
Do it. Who is it becomes who is it.
96
Who is it? Then if a word ends with a vowel sound like I, say, or see and the next word also starts with a vowel we usually add a little 'y' sound in between.
97
For example, I am sounds like I am.
98
I am. See it becomes see it.
99
See it. Say it becomes say it.
100
Say it. And finally, we are here becomes we are here.
101
We are here.
102
I just taught you the four ways to link words in English.
103
But I want to make something really clear.
104
Linking words does not mean speaking faster.
105
Many learners think they have to speed up their speech to connect words and that's simply not true.
106
Linking is about smoothness, not speed.
107
It's about avoiding choppy, abrupt speech.
108
All right time for a bonus round!
109
This one's still about connecting consonants, but it's a little trickier.
110
Sometimes when you connect certain consonants they actually turn into a completely new sound.
111
The first common one is when a word ends with a 't' and the next word starts with a 'y'.
112
These two blend together to create a 'ch' sound.
113
For example, can't you often sounds like can't you.
114
Can't you see I'm busy!
115
Can't you see I'm busy!
116
Get your sounds more like get your.
117
Get your coat it's cold outside.
118
Get your coat it's cold outside.
119
Won't you sounds like won't you.
120
Won't you please come in?
121
Won't you please come in?
122
Don't you sounds like don't you.
123
Don't you remember me?
124
Don't you remember me?
125
Got you sounds like gotcha.
126
Gotcha I win!
127
Gotcha I win!
128
Or you can also say I gotcha a present.
129
I gotcha a present.
130
You can say each word separately like can't you, but blending them together is very common.
131
Now something similar happens when a word ends in 'd' and the next word starts with 'y'.
132
In that case, the 'd' and 'y' combined to make a 'ju' sound.
133
For example, did you becomes did you.
134
Did you. Now it's totally fine to say did you, but you can say did you.
135
Did you. Did you see that movie?
136
Did you see that movie?
137
Or you can also say: "Did you know about the surprise party?" Did you know about the surprise party?
138
Another example is could you this becomes could you.
139
Could you. Could you help me with this?
140
Could you help me with this?
141
Or you can say could you please turn down the music?
142
Could you please turn down the music?
143
Hide your becomes hide your.
144
Hide your. Hide your wallet there are pickpockets around.
145
Hide your wallet there are pickpockets around.
146
Okay, everybody! I hope you found this lesson on connecting words super helpful.
147
The more you listen to and try to connect toward yourself the more natural it will become.

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.
