Hey everybody welcome back to my YouTube channel.
2
My name's Ariannita la Gringa.
3
In today's video, I'm going to  help you connect words in English.
4
Hm... that didn't sound natural.
5
Let's see if I can say that a little bit smoother.
6
I'm going to help you connect words in  English just like a native speaker would.
7
Did you notice how I just  connected those words in the intro?
8
So what are connecting words?
9
Connecting words sometimes called linking is  basically joining the sounds of words together.
10
Not necessarily speaking faster.
11
It's about creating a smooth flow of speech.
12
For example, listen to this.
13
My car is red.
14
Now listen to this.
15
My car is red.
16
My car is red. Hear the difference?
17
Native speakers do this all the  time without even realizing it.
18
It's a natural part of spoken English.
19
Let's look at another example.
20
Hold on. Now...
21
Hold on. Much smoother right?
22
And every word either begins or  ends with a vowel or consonant.
23
Vowel sounds are open and  flowing like a, e, i, o, u.
24
And a consonant is a sound that  stops like k, ch, r, th, y, w.
25
All right so now that we know what  connecting words are and that we know the difference between vowels and consonants  let's see how all this stuff actually works.
26
Let's start with rule number  one consonant plus vowel.
27
This is the most common type of linking.
28
It's when a word ends in a consonant sound  and the next word starts with a vowel sound.
29
You simply join the sounds together  and treat them like one word.
30
For example, look at.
31
Look at. Look at the bird.
32
Look at. Hold on becomes hold on.
33
Can you hold on a second?
34
Hold on. Pick it up sounds like pick it up.
35
Pick it up.
36
A cup of tea sounds like a cup of tea.
37
A cup of tea so this sounds  more like "uhv" or even "uh".
38
A cup of tea.
39
A cup of tea.
40
Turn on sounds like turn on.
41
Turn on the light.
42
Turn on. Hand it it over sounds like hand it over.
43
Hand it over now.
44
Hand it over.
45
And the last example ran out sounds like ran out.
46
I ran out of gas.
47
Ran out. Now let's go to the next rule.
48
The next rule is consonant plus consonant.
49
When a word ends in a consonant  sound and the next word begins with a consonant sound you often  blend or slightly change the sounds.
50
So let's check out the first example.
51
This shop. This shop.
52
So the s in this can sometimes  change into a sh sound.
53
So it almost sounds like this shop  and it's something that happens naturally and most people don't  even realize they're doing it.
54
And another example is: is she.
55
Is she. Is she.
56
That can easily become is  she where the 's' in 'is' turns into a 'sh' sound to match the 'sh' in she.
57
So you want to keep the air flow going from the ending consonant sounds into  the beginning of the next one.
58
And why do we do this?
59
Well, sometimes our mouths are lazy.
60
It's easier to say two similar sounds  together than to switch sounds quickly.
61
So instead of saying feel like we say feel like.
62
Feel like. I am connecting both consonants and  it sounds like one long consonant.
63
For example, gas station sounds like gas station.
64
Gas station.
65
It's almost like these two words are together  and the 's' connects both words: gas station.
66
Another thing that happens when we  link consonants together is that sometimes a sound just disappears all together.
67
For example, next door might sound like nex' door.
68
Next door. The 't' is dropped.
69
And old man might sound like ol' man.
70
Ol' man. The 'd' is dropped.
71
Best friend might sound like bes' friend.
72
Bes' friend.
73
The t is dropped here.
74
And lastly just saying might  sound like jus' saying.
75
Jus' saying.
76
The t is dropped here.
77
Now let's move on to the third  rule: vowel plus consonant.
78
So what happens when a word  ends with a vowel sound and the next word starts with a consonant sound?
79
Well, the word ending with a vowel just connects  right to the word starting with a consonant.
80
It's really simple.
81
Me too sounds like me too.
82
Me too. As you can see there's not a big difference.
83
Pay rent sounds like pay rent.
84
Pay rent. Really nice sounds like really nice.
85
Really nice.
86
This is one of the easiest connecting rules  because the key is to not pause between the words.
87
There's not a huge difference between the sounds.
88
Just let the sounds flow smoothly  from one word to the next.
89
Now the next rule is vowel-to-vowel linking.
90
If a word ends with a rounded vowel sound like  the "ooh" in do or the "oh" in go and the next word starts with a vowel you'll often hear a  little "w" sound slip in to make it flow better.
91
For example, go out can sound like go out.
92
Go out. You're just adding a 'w' in there.
93
Go on becomes go on.
94
Go on. Do it becomes do it.
95
Do it. Who is it becomes who is it.
96
Who is it? Then if a word ends with a vowel sound  like I, say, or see and the next word also starts with a vowel we usually  add a little 'y' sound in between.
97
For example, I am sounds like I am.
98
I am. See it becomes see it.
99
See it. Say it becomes say it.
100
Say it. And finally, we are here becomes we are here.
101
We are here.
102
I just taught you the four  ways to link words in English.
103
But I want to make something really clear.
104
Linking words does not mean speaking faster.
105
Many learners think they have to speed up their speech to connect words  and that's simply not true.
106
Linking is about smoothness, not speed.
107
It's about avoiding choppy, abrupt speech.
108
All right time for a bonus round!
109
This one's still about connecting  consonants, but it's a little trickier.
110
Sometimes when you connect certain consonants  they actually turn into a completely new sound.
111
The first common one is when a word ends with  a 't' and the next word starts with a 'y'.
112
These two blend together to create a 'ch' sound.
113
For example, can't you  often sounds like can't you.
114
Can't you see I'm busy!
115
Can't you see I'm busy!
116
Get your sounds more like get your.
117
Get your coat it's cold outside.
118
Get your coat it's cold outside.
119
Won't you sounds like won't you.
120
Won't you please come in?
121
Won't you please come in?
122
Don't you sounds like don't you.
123
Don't you remember me?
124
Don't you remember me?
125
Got you sounds like gotcha.
126
Gotcha I win!
127
Gotcha I win!
128
Or you can also say I gotcha a present.
129
I gotcha a present.
130
You can say each word separately like can't  you, but blending them together is very common.
131
Now something similar happens when a word  ends in 'd' and the next word starts with 'y'.
132
In that case, the 'd' and 'y'  combined to make a 'ju' sound.
133
For example, did you becomes did you.
134
Did you. Now it's totally fine to say did  you, but you can say did you.
135
Did you. Did you see that movie?
136
Did you see that movie?
137
Or you can also say: "Did you  know about the surprise party?" Did you know about the surprise party?
138
Another example is could  you this becomes could you.
139
Could you. Could you help me with this?
140
Could you help me with this?
141
Or you can say could you  please turn down the music?
142
Could you please turn down the music?
143
Hide your becomes hide your.
144
Hide your. Hide your wallet there are pickpockets around.
145
Hide your wallet there are pickpockets around.
146
Okay, everybody! I hope you found this  lesson on connecting words super helpful.
147
The more you listen to and try to connect  toward yourself the more natural it will become.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
