El hablante usa 6 contracciones y formas reducidas, como don't, you're, won't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: vegetable /ˈvɛd͡ʒ.tə.bəl/, additive /ˈæd.ɪ.tɪv/, adventurous /ædˈvɛn.t͡ʃɚ.əs/, overpay /oʊ.vɚ.peɪ/, canvas /ˈkæn.vəs/

¿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.
