1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
In this video, I'd like to talk about the connected sounds in this short text where I'm complimenting some company on their customer service.
4
Let's take a look.
5
So in this text, it's from the point of view of someone who is calling on the phone.
6
Despite that, I'm still going to read it as if I'm speaking normally.
7
I noticed that when I talk on the phone sometimes, I speak extra clearly so people have the best chance of understanding me.
8
But for this lesson, I'll show you the way that we always talk in natural everyday speech.
9
Oh hello, I'm just calling to say.
10
Just calling.
11
So here I take the t out.
12
Just calling.
13
There's no t in just here.
14
I'm just calling to say. To say.
15
To gets reduced a lot when it's a in front of a verb like this.
16
Just calling to say I had a really great experience.
17
Say I had a.
18
Say I.
19
We want to connect say I and had a.
20
Say I had a.
21
Say I had a.
22
Really.
23
Really.
24
You'll find the word really in the dictionary with that pronunciation, e, really, but also sometimes really.
25
I tend to say really when I'm speaking quickly.
26
I had a really great experience.
27
Great experience.
28
Here the T turns into a tap.
29
Really great experience shopping here earlier.
30
Oh, hello.
31
I'm just calling to say I had a really great experience shopping here earlier.
32
I'm sorry that I didn't get the name of the guy who helped me.
33
I'm sorry.
34
I'm sorry.
35
When I start a sentence with an I sound like this in a short word like I'm, it often gets reduced, and you sometimes just hear the M.
36
I'm sorry that I, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that if I start the sentence like that it might sound a little funny, but that's really the shortening of the sound that I do.
37
I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I could get reduced.
38
I don't want to say that everybody does this all the time, but it certainly happens and you should be prepared for it when you're practicing your listening.
39
I'm sorry that I, that I.
40
So here that turns into the the vowel gets reduced and the T turns into a tap.
41
That I, that I, that I, that I didn't get the name.
42
Here we have didn't get and those two T's turn into glottal stops.
43
Didn't get, didn't get the name of the guy.
44
Here of the turns into a the, a the, name of the, and we connect name with the following word.
45
Name of the guy.
46
I'm sorry that I didn't get the name of the guy who helped me.
47
Here, the ed part of helped basically just disappears.
48
It sounds strange when I say it slowly because it's the same as help me.
49
There's some weak d sound sometimes.
50
Helped me, helped me, helped me.
51
I'm sorry that I didn't get the name of the guy who helped me.
52
It might have started with m.
53
It mighta.
54
So I turn might have into mighta.
55
Mighta.
56
Mighta started with them started with them here we have another
57
week ending started with started with with you're kind of connecting the d to the w
58
and making that d very very weak it might have started with them
59
he was on the taller side he was on the he was on the
60
so here was turns into was a very very quick and unstressed.
61
He was on the, connect N and TH here.
62
On the taller side, taller side, and he had, and he had, side, and he had, side, and he had.
63
So I'm connecting that and with side and also he.
64
So side and he turns into side knee had side knee.
65
Basically we take out the vowel and the d in and.
66
Side knee and also the h in he.
67
Side knee had any had any had any had any had any had.
68
We could use the h in had or we could take it out.
69
Both are okay.
70
Side knee had glasses.
71
Side knee had glasses and a beard.
72
And a beard.
73
Glasses and a beard.
74
We take out the D in and and connect the N-A.
75
And glasses and a beard.
76
He was on the taller side and he had glasses and a beard.
77
Anyway, he was just really patient and friendly.
78
Anyway, he was.
79
Anyway, he was.
80
We take out the H in he and we reduce the vowel in was.
81
Anyway, he was just really.
82
Anyway, he was just really patient, just really patient, patient, just really patient.
83
So take off the T in just and then the T in patient.
84
For just, the t is removed it's just just really
85
but with the end of patient it turns into a glottal stop patient patient friendly now
86
when we connect and a word ending in n
87
or a glottal stop after n and the word and we remove the a vowel patient and friendly.
88
And we take off the D because we always take off the D in and anyway.
89
Patient and friendly.
90
Anyway, it was just really patient and friendly.
91
And he helped me.
92
And he helped me.
93
Again, take off the D in helped there.
94
And he helped me.
95
Take off the H in he and the D in and.
96
So, and he helped me make my mind up.
97
Make my mind up.
98
So here, make my, we want to connect that together.
99
Let me help me make my mind up.
100
Now that k in make my, that k could be super, super weak.
101
And in most of my videos, I don't talk about k weakening because it's very rare.
102
But here in this case, I noticed when I was practicing for this video, I actually did reduce the k.
103
Make my, make my, my, my.
104
It sounds like I'm not saying a k there at all, but I can feel in my throat, I'm making the K shape with my mouth.
105
Make my, make my, make my.
106
So I'm definitely saying it, but it doesn't come through very clearly in the audio.
107
So you should be ready to listen for it when you're practicing your connected reading, listening.
108
Make my mind up.
109
And he helped me make my mind up about what I wanted.
110
About what I.
111
About, so that T in about turns into a glottal stop.
112
What I, that T, turns into a tap.
113
About what I.
114
Make my mind up about what I wanted.
115
And there was no and there.
116
We want to connect that N and TH.
117
And there was no, you know, you know.
118
This is a filler word and I say it all the time.
119
Lots of people say it all the time.
120
And it turns into ya know, not you know.
121
You know.
122
There was no, you know, sales pressure at all.
123
Sales pressure at all.
124
We want to connect pressure to at all.
125
But look at the vowel in at.
126
At all turns into at all. At all.
127
It's more of an i or an uh sound.
128
Pressure at all.
129
And the t in at turns into a tap.
130
There was no, you know, sales pressure at all.
131
Really great experience.
132
Really great experience.
133
Another tap T for that great, great experience.
134
I'd love it if you could.
135
I'd love, I'd love that D and L connect together.
136
I'd love it if you could, could, could pass, could pass.
137
D gets reduced there in could pass.
138
If you could pass, could pass, could pass that on to his manager.
139
Pass that on to his manager.
140
Pass that on, that on.
141
So we want to have that tap T there in that on, that on to is, to is.
142
So here we take off the H in his.
143
To is, to is.
144
Pass that on to his manager.
145
Thanks so much.
146
Thanks so much.
147
Here we have the two S sounds connecting.
148
Thanks so much.
149
Bye.
150

152
Check them out if you're interested.
153
But now, let's get back to this part.
154
Now, I'm going to read the same text that we just heard, and I'm going to read it twice.
155
First, I'll read it very slowly, but still with all of the connected sounds.
156
It's going to sound a little funny, but this will help you practice all the sounds before speeding up.
157
Then, the next part will be me speaking at a natural conversational speed.
158
Here we go.
159
Oh, hello.
160
I'm just calling to say I had a really great experience shopping here earlier.
161
I'm sorry that I didn't get the name of the guy who helped me.
162
It might have started with M.
163
He was on the taller side, and he had glasses and a beard.
164
Anyway, he was just really patient and friendly, and he helped me make my mind up about what I wanted, and there was no, you know, sales pressure at all.
165
Really great experience.
166
I'd love it if you could pass that on to his manager.
167
Thanks so much.
168
Bye.
169
All right, here we go with natural speed.
170
Oh, hello.
171
I'm just calling to say I had a really great experience shopping here earlier.
172
I'm sorry that I didn't get the name of the guy who helped me.
173
He might have started with them.
174
He was on the taller side and he had glasses and a beard.
175
Anyway, he was just really patient and friendly, and he helped me make my mind up about what I wanted and there was no you know sales pressure at all.
176
Really great experience.
177
I'd love it if you could pass that on to his manager.
178

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
