Today I'm going to go over something I find quite interesting about American English,
2
and that is how different the same word can sound depending on where it falls in a sentence.
3
I've been noticing recently some of my students from certain countries have the tendency to accent the last word in the sentence.
4
And in general, American English goes down in pitch throughout a sentence.
5
So actually, the words at the end of a sentence should be lower in pitch,
6
lower in volume, more unstressed than the same word would be if it came earlier in the sentence.
7
Let's take, for example, the word home in the sentences, I'll be home by three.
8
Last night I drove the car home.
9
Let's hear the word home in the first sentence, I'll be home by three, repeat it on a loop a few times to get it into our ear.
10
I'll be home by three.
11
Home, home, home, home.
12
And now in the second sentence, last night I drove the car home.
13
Last night I drove the car home.
14
Home, home, home, home.
15
And now let's compare, switching back and forth.
16
Home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home.
17
Clearly they are at two different pitches, two different volumes.
18
Here I'm using the software program Pratt to view both sentences and the loops of the word home.
19
The first sentence, I'll be home by three.
20
And the loop for the word home in
21
that sentence, home, home, home you can see that the volume is greater compared to the word home in the second sentence.
22
And down here we see the pitch.
23
Both of these sentences have the downward trend, the second one ending with this little dot down here,
24
as most statements in English do.
25
The word home in the first sentence is here, quite high in pitch, the word home in the second sentence, here, quite low in pitch.
26
This section up here is the M, sort of just a grumble in the voice.
27
It sort of stops sounding like speech at this point, doesn't it?
28
It's so low in pitch, so low in volume, so far down in the throat.
29
Yet when you hear it in the context of the sentence, Last night I drove the car home.
30
You do identify it as the word home.
31
Let's listen one more time to the loop where we alternate the word home from the two sentences.
32
Home, home, home, home, home, home, home.
33
So keep this in mind when you're speaking, when you're practicing reading out loud.
34
Make sure you're not stressing the last word of a sentence by bringing it up in pitch or making it louder.
35
Because in English, it's actually the opposite.
36
The words at the end of the sentence will be lower in pitch and also softer.
37
The final word in the sentence can sometimes be very low and very soft.
38
That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.

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.
