Why does English sound so fast?
2
Have you ever been watching an English movie or a TV show and thought, I thought I knew English, but what is this?
3
Well, don't worry.
4
You're not alone.
5
I understand exactly how you feel.
6
When I first moved to France many years ago, I thought I could understand French okay.
7
But then my French host family started talking and they told me about their jobs and their family and their life.
8
And I understood nothing.
9
All I did was smile and nod.
10
And then many months later, when I could finally understand them, I didn't have the courage to go back and ask them, so what's your job again?
11
And I do not want this to happen to you.
12
I want you to understand English the first time.
13
And as your English teacher, I want to help you with that.
14

29
It is my gift to you.
30
All right, let's get started.
31
You're going to watch a short clip from a real life English conversation.
32
You might understand it in general, but do you understand every single word?
33
Can you reproduce speech just like that?
34
Can you speak in the same way?
35
That's the hard part, but I'm going to help you with that.
36
After you watch this conversation clip, we're going to break down the conversation.
37
We'll be going through it because this conversation clip uses all five five tips to help you understand fast English conversations.
38
Let's watch and then we'll break it down together.
39
Let's go.
40
If given the choice, when we drive, you drive and I'm in the passenger seat.
41
It's not a passive job to be in the passenger seat with kids.
42
If you have kids, you know.
43
Yeah, it actually drives me insane to be in the passenger seat while she's driving.
44
Not because she's a bad driver, but because there might be an expression that you've heard of, I'm a backseat driver.
45
backseat driver?
46
Yes.
47
Even though you're not in the backseat.
48
Yeah.
49
And that just means that I'll notice things on the road and I'll have trouble not pointing it out to her.
50
Watch out.
51
Look over there.
52
Oh, he's emerging.
53
Give them some more space.
54
I think every woman who has driven with a man has dealt with this situation before.
55
My first tip to help you understand fast English conversations is contractions.
56
Contractions are where you take a pronoun and you add a verb and you smush them together, cut out a couple letters and add a little apostrophe.
57
Let's take a look at a couple examples that were in this conversation clip you just watched.
58
I am becomes I'm.
59
I is the pronoun, am is the verb, and we cut out a with a little apostrophe,
60
put them together and it becomes I'm.
61
Much faster, right?
62
Let's take a look at a couple more.
63
It is, it's.
64
She is, she's.
65
He is, he's.
66
You have, you've.
67
Now our last two are a little bit more advanced because they have two different pronunciations.
68
One is very fast and those are the two that you heard in the conversation, so I want you to know them.
69
You are becomes your.
70
Notice how my lips are very pronounced here.
71
Your, your.
72
But you know what?
73
In fast conversations, we often reduce it even more.
74
Instead of saying your, we just say your, your.
75
It sounds like her, her book.
76
your book.
77
It sounds almost exactly the same, except for the why at the beginning.
78
So when you hear fast conversations, instead of hearing you are, you're going to hear a contraction,
79
but not your, you're going to hear it reduced even more your.
80
This is what makes fast English conversations tricky to understand, but now you have some more tools.
81
All right, We have one more contraction.
82
I will becomes I'll.
83
Now this is the very clear contraction, I'll, but we can say this also even more reduced.
84
Oh, oh, that's right.
85
If I'm speaking quickly, I might say, I'll go to the store.
86
I'll go to the store, I'll, I'll go to the store.
87
So, what I want you to do is we are going to now listen to all of these contractions in the conversation, and then it's your turn to practice them.
88
We're going to have a challenge sentence, and I want you to try to say it out loud with me.
89
But first, let's listen.
90
I want you to realize I'm not lying.
91
We actually use these contractions and these reductions all the time.
92
Let's listen.
93
When we drive, you drive and I'm in the passenger seat.
94
It's not a passive job to be in the passenger seat with kids if you have kids you know.
95
Yeah, it actually drives me insane to be in the passenger seat while she's driving.
96
There might be an expression that you've heard of, I'm a backseat driver.
97
Even though you're not in the backseat.
98
Yeah.
99
I'll notice things on the road and I'll have trouble not pointing it out to her.
100
Oh, he's emerging.
101
Give them some more space.
102
Now it's time for our challenge sentence.
103
I want you to speak out loud.
104
Use your own pronunciation muscles.
105
We have practiced your listening skills.
106
Now it's time to practice your speaking skills.
107
So let's say this sentence together.
108
I'm happy you're here because it's a beautiful day.
109
We have three contractions.
110
I'm your, but we're going to practice the fast way to say this.
111
You're, you're here because it's a beautiful day.
112
Let's say it two times together.
113
I'm happy you're here because it's a beautiful day.
114
I'm happy you're here because it's a beautiful day.
115
Great work.
116
All right, let's go to tip number two.
117
My second tip to help you understand fast English conversations is reductions.
118
Now, contractions are a type of reduction, but this one is a little bit trickier because it is not written at all.
119
It is only a spoken contraction.
120
Take a look at these three words, and, just, them.
121
Well, you probably know these words, right?
122
But when I say this full sentence, listen to how they're reduced.
123
You're just helping them and I'm here too.
124
You're just helping them and I'm here too.
125
All right, let's take a look at this sentence.
126
The second word, you're just.
127
We cut out the T in the word just all the time.
128
And this is going to make English sound pretty fast because there's just whole sounds being thrown out, especially for these common words.
129
You're just helping them.
130
So the word them in fast conversation often drops the TH and we just say, um, you're just helping them, helping them.
131
You're just helping them.
132
And I'm here too.
133
We have the word and that has the D completely taken off.
134
So it's going to sound like and, and I'm here too.
135
And I'm here too.
136
Listen to that full sentence again.
137
And now you know about these reductions.
138
So I think you'll be able to understand it a little bit better
139
and then I'm going to ask you to say it with me in just a minute.
140
You're just helping them and I'm here too.
141
Don't forget that contraction at the beginning.
142
You're just helping them and I'm here too.
143
Okay.
144
What we're going to do is we're going to practice saying this all together
145
and then you're going to watch a little clip from the conversation.
146
We're doing it a little bit backwards this time
147
and I want you to practice it out loud and then your ears will be ready to hear it in the conversation.
148
Are you ready?
149
Say it with me.
150
Don't forget the contraction at the beginning and the three reductions.
151
You're just helping them and I'm here too.
152
You're just helping them and I'm here too.
153
Great work.
154
Okay.
155
Let's listen to these three words in the conversation and you will see exactly how they are reduced.
156
Let's watch.
157
You drive and I'm in the passenger seat.
158
And that just means that ...
159
Oh, he's emerging.
160
Give them some more space.
161
My third tip to help you understand fast English conversations is the stopped.
162
T. What is this?
163
This is a common thing that happens in American English spoken conversations.
164
Let's take a look at a couple words and I'll explain what this means.
165
In the conversation I had with Dan, we used all of these words.
166
What do these words have in common?
167
They all end in T and they have something else in common that I haven't shown you yet.
168
After each of these words, there was a word that started with a consonant.
169
A consonant is any letter that is not a vowel, A -E -I -O -U, any other letter.
170
So look at the first example.
171
We have the word seat that was followed by the word while.
172
Then we have the word not that was followed by the word pointing.
173
Well, Now, when we have this exact combination, a T that has a consonant next, do you know what happens?
174
You might know because of the name of this third tip, it is going to be stopped.
175
Listen carefully when I say this, seat while, seat while, not pointing, not pointing.
176
I am making the T shape with my mouth.
177
My tongue is at the top of my mouth, but I'm not letting that puff of air come out.
178
It is stopped in my mouth.
179
So when we say seat while, seat while, seat, my tongue is at the top of my mouth.
180
And when we cut out T's like this at the end of words, it can really make English sound super fast because what is seat while, seat while?
181
It's not seat while.
182
Your ears as an English learner are expecting to hear more of the letters,
183
but now you're kind of getting to see that we often cut up words and cut out sounds.
184
So I want to go through all of the instances that this was used in the conversation clip, and then we're going to practice it together.
185
Might be dealt with, watch out, look over there.
186
So here we have two separate sentences, but it still applies.
187
I want you to practice saying each of these with me.
188
This is getting a little bit trickier here, but you can do it.
189
Let's practice.
190
Seat while, not pointing, might be,
191
dealt with, watch out, look over there.
192
Great work.
193
What we're going to do is we're going to listen to this in the conversation.
194
It's very fast, but I want you to listen carefully for it
195
and then we'll come back and practice our challenge sentence together.
196
Let's watch.
197
Yeah, it actually drives me insane to be in the passenger seat
198
while she's driving and I'll have trouble not pointing it out to her.
199
There might be an expression that you've heard of.
200
I think every woman who has driven with a man has dealt with this situation before.
201
Yeah.
202
Watch out, look over there.
203
All right, now it's time to practice a challenge sentence.
204
Our sentence is we've dealt with problems and it might just be life.
205
We're starting with a contraction.
206
Don't forget those.
207
We've dealt with.
208
Here we have our stopped T sound, dealt with.
209
Make sure your tongue is at the top of your mouth.
210
We're not cutting out the T completely.
211
We just need to stop the T sound.
212
We've dealt with problems.
213
Great.
214
And then the next part of the sentence, don't forget We have those reduced words,
215
and, and just, and it might just be life.
216
So don't forget an and just, but what's happening here, might be, that is going to be our stopped T sound,
217
might be life, might just be life.
218
All right.
219
Let's say this full sentence all together we're going to say it twice, and I want you to try to say it out loud.
220
Practice your pronunciation as well as your listening.
221
We've dealt with problems and it might just be life.
222
We've dealt with problems and it might just be life.
223
Great work.
224
My fourth tip to help you understand fast English conversations is another very American English sound,
225
and that is when T's change to D's.
226
Listen to this phrase, water bottle,
227
water bottle, the T in water.
228
actually sounds like a D in American English and the T's in bottle also sound like a D.
229
This is extremely common and you're going to find this all over the place, even between words.
230
This showed up twice in the conversation, so we're going to practice those two instances, then we'll listen to them and then you will have a challenge sentence.
231
Can you do it?
232
Of course you can.
233
Let's take a look at these two words.
234
No dis, nada.
235
No dis.
236
Do you see there's a T, but your ears, do they hear a T?
237
No dis.
238
Nope.
239
It sounds like a D.
240
And why is that?
241
The rule is that if there is a T surrounded by vowel sounds, that T in American English is going to become a D sound.
242
No dis.
243
No dis.
244
Now, this also applies when there are two words.
245
So take a look at this, not a, well, this is two separate words, right?
246
But the T is still surrounded by vowel sounds.
247
So what's going to happen to that T?
248
It's going to become a D sound, nada, nada, nada.
249
So we already talked about the word not.
250
when it is stopped at the end, if there's a consonant next, but here there is a vowel next, so it's going to change into a D.
251
Let's take a look at these two instances in the conversation, and then we'll practice our challenge sentence together.
252
The challenge sentences are building, they're getting a little more complicated, so get ready.
253
Let's watch.
254
It's not a passive job to be in the passenger seat with kids.
255
I'll notice things on the road and I'll have trouble not pointing it out to her.
256
All right.
257
Our challenge sentence is a little bit of a lie for me because I am a teacher.
258
Let's take a look.
259
I'm not a teacher and I might not notice them.
260
So here at the beginning, we have I'm, our contraction.
261
I'm not a.
262
This is the phrase we talked about.
263
That T is going to change to a D.
264
I'm not a teacher.
265
And don't forget that reduced word.
266
And I might not.
267
That's our stopped T.
268
Might not notice.
269
That is the T changing to a D.
270
Notice some.
271
We can cut off the TH because it is a reduced word as well.
272
Do you see how this is making English seem faster and faster the more that you learn these tips and tricks.
273
Let's try to say this sentence together twice.
274
I'm going to say it relatively slowly first because it's getting a bit more challenging, and then we'll say it a little bit faster together.
275
Speak out loud with me.
276
Are you ready?
277
I'm not a teacher and I might not notice them.
278
I'm not a teacher and I might not notice them.
279
Great work.
280
All right.
281
My fifth and final tip to help you understand fast English conversations is to grow your vocabulary.
282
I've had so many students tell me that as they are practicing their listening skills,
283
they are coming upon so many new words that even if they could understand the words, they don't know what they mean.
284
So I want you to grow your vocabulary right now.
285
We're going to take a look at three different phrases that might be new to you, and I want you to be able to use them and be able to understand them as well.
286
The first one is drives me insane.
287
Dan said, yeah, it drives me insane to be in the passenger seat while she's driving.
288
And here he's talking about just going crazy.
289
You could say, yeah, I go crazy when I'm in the passenger seat, but it is more common to say, it drives me insane.
290
There are some variations of this phrase, like it drives me bonkers, or it drives me up the wall.
291
And these all mean the same thing.
292
It makes me feel crazy when I'm in the passenger seat.
293
I I want to know what drives you insane, what drives you up the wall.
294
Our second vocabulary phrase that will help you to understand fast English conversations, especially if it is a new word for you, is a backseat driver.
295
Now the trick of this expression is that you are not in the backseat.
296
Usually this means you are in the passenger seat and you are giving lots of unwanted tips about driving to the driver.
297
Nobody likes a backseat driver, but if you have ever been driving and the person beside you is just giving you lots of tips, oh, watch out, he's merging.
298
Oh, it looks like they're slowing down.
299
Slow down.
300
you can say, stop being a backseat driver.
301
It doesn't mean they're in the backseat, but it just means they're giving too many unwanted tips.
302
And the third great vocabulary phrase that you need to know to understand this conversation is a phrasal verb to point out,
303
but we often insert it in this phrase, pointed out, pointed out.
304
So in the conversation, Dan said, I have trouble not pointing it out to her.
305
If there's something going on on the road, he can't stop himself.
306
He has to point it out.
307
Now he could have used a more simple expression and just said, I have trouble not telling her,
308
but you want to be able to use real English that real English speakers use in the real world, right?
309
And this phrasal verb is one of them.
310
So when you can understand, point it out, you can use it as well.
311
So let's take a quick look at how all three of these expressions were used in the conversation, and then we'll come back for a challenge sentence.
312
Your final challenge sentence.
313
Are you ready?
314
Let's watch.
315
Yeah, it actually drives me insane to be in the passenger seat while she's driving.
316
There might be an expression that you've heard of, I'm a backseat driver.
317
I'll notice things on the road and I'll have trouble not pointing it out to her.
318
Okay.
319
Our final challenge sentence is this.
320
He's just a backseat driver and it drives me insane.
321
But if you notice a problem, point it out now, not later.
322
Okay.
323
So we've got a lot going on here.
324
At the beginning, we have our contraction.
325
He's, then the reduction, just, and then our vocabulary phrase.
326
A backseat driver.
327
And then we have another reduction.
328
And it drives me insane.
329
Let's practice saying the beginning of the sentence together.
330
Speak out loud and try to say it with me.
331
He's just a backseat driver and it drives me insane.
332
Great work.
333
Now let's get to next part.
334
But if you notice, we have the T changing to a D,
335
notice a problem pointed out now, not later.
336
We have our great phrase pointed out.
337
And then we have a stopped T, not, not.
338
Make sure your tongue is at the top of your mouth.
339
And what about that final word?
340
We haven't specifically pointed out that word.
341
Pointed out that word.
342
But it has a key concept we just talked about.
343
Later.
344
Later.
345
It's that T changing to a D.
346
You can do it.
347
So let's say the second half of the sentence together.
348
But if you notice a problem, point it out now, not later.
349
Okay.
350
Let's put it all together.
351
We're going to say this full sentence and I want you to speak out loud exactly with my voice.
352
Are you ready?
353
Let's do it.
354
He's just a backseat driver and it drives me insane.
355
But if you notice a problem, point it out now, not later.
356
Great work.

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.
