1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today we're going to look at this pronunciation rule for connected speech
4
and then see how it works in some natural sentences that are a part of a longer speaking test answer.
5
Let's take a look.
6
So the rule is that we're going to reduce the word had as part of a past tense verb form.
7
So what does that mean?
8
So when we have had and then another verb, I had never seen, we're going to reduce it.
9
So it becomes I yid, I yid.
10
Had and yid are pretty different words, right?
11
So it connects to the pronoun I and we say I yid.
12
It's kind of like y, i, d.
13
I yid, I had never seen, I had never seen.
14
But then we're not going to do that for every time we have had, right?
15
We're going to say, it had a.
16
Now, this is a simple past tense verb.
17
It's not a verb form of another verb it's just the past tense of had
18
it had a nice big couch
19
if i speak quickly it becomes it had a nice big
20
couch it had a nice big couch something happens to
21
that t there the t gets a little weaker
22
but we just say it had a nice big couch nothing
23
to do with our yid pronunciation from before i had never seen let's see how this works in context.
24
The room was nice and warm in winter.
25
The room was nice and warm.
26
We're going to remove the d from warm.
27
Nice and warm in winter.
28
Nice and warm in winter.
29
Winter has a t when it's written, but we actually don't say this t.
30
Winter.
31
The room was nice and warm in winter.
32
It had a nice big couch on one end, it had a, it had a, so that T gets reduced, it had a nice big couch.
33
This g and k sound, they'd connect together too.
34
It had a nice big couch on one end, on one end, and on the other end, and on the other end, so we're going to take off this D in and,
35
and on the other end, now we'll connect nuh and the here,
36
on the other end, on the other end, this requires us to add a little bit of a yuh between the two vowels.
37
And on the other end, there was a big indoor hammock.
38
There was a big indoor hammock.
39
I had never seen an indoor hammock before.
40
I had never seen.
41
I had.
42
I had.
43
So we're going to take off the H in had and reduce the vowel.
44
A becomes I.
45
I had.
46
So we add a little bit of a ya here to to connect the two vowels together.
47
I had never.
48
When we say the D here, it kind of blends into the N.
49
We call this a nasal release.
50
So I had never.
51
It's like the D turns into the N before it's even finished.
52
I had never seen an indoor hammock before the first time I went to her house.
53
Before the first time, we delete this T and go straight from the S into this T.
54
Before the first time I went to her house.
55
These two T's connect together.
56
Went to her house.
57
We remove the H from the pronoun her.
58
Went to her house.
59
I had never seen an indoor hammock before the first time I went to her house.
60
Alright, now let's read the whole thing together.
61
The room was nice and warm in winter.
62
It had a nice big couch on one end, and on the other end, there was a big indoor hammock.
63
I had never seen an indoor hammock before the first time I went to her house.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
