213
Then we have this one turtle, turtle.
214

215
Rural, rural.
216

217
Yacht, yacht.
218
Ignore that CH.
219
And finally, we have this one.
220
Choir, choir.
221
Same spelling.
222
Different pronunciation.
223
Nouns versus verbs.
224
Attribute, attribute.
225
Conduct, conduct.
226
Contract, contract.
227
Contest, contest.
228
Decrease, decrease.
229
Escort, escort. but really it's comfortable.
230
The next word we have is not vegetable, vegetable.
231
Okay number three, I hear many people saying chocolate but we say chocolate.
232
It's just two syllables and I understand it's quite hard for many people to pronounce
233
but you want to speak English well you've got to practice.
234
Now on to number four, not one of my favourite days of the week but it's very important to pronounce it correctly.
235
I always hear tueste, tueste
236
When in reality, it's Tuesday.
237
Choose, like I want to choose what I'm having for breakfast this morning.
238
Tuesday, not Tuesday.
239
And then the last one, not Wednesday, Wednesday.
240
We're going to focus first on one key feature of my and many other British accents.
241
I don't pronounce the letter R at the end of a word or before consonant sounds.
242
So the letters
243
Those er at the end of words usually sound like uh.
244
Uh.
245
This sound is called the schwa sound and it's the most common sound in English.
246
In most American accents, these letters would sound more like er.
247
Can you hear the difference?
248
Let's practice with 10 common words with er at the end.
249
Remember to repeat after me.
250
I'll go slow first, then fast.
251
One, weather, weather.
252
Two, shower, shower.
253
Three, shopper, shopper.
254
Four, driver, driver fiver, five,
255
lager, lager, six, natter, natter,
256
seven, quieter, quieter, eight, whisper, whisper.
257
Nine.
258
Deliver.
259
Deliver. And ten.
260
Offer.
261
Offer.
262
How did you find that?
263
Here's something interesting.
264
I do usually pronounce the letter R when it comes before a vowel sound.
265
Listen and compare.
266
The weather was awful.
267
The weather is awful.
268
Did you hear the difference there?
269
Let's practice some of these words in full sentences.
270
Shadow me.
271
I'll mark where I pronounce the R sound to help you.
272
The weather was awful, so the shopper asked the taxi driver to take her to the pub for a lager.
273
While she was having a natter on the phone,
274
the room suddenly grew quieter and some people began to whisper about the heavy snow shower that was forecast.
275
Pause and replay that if you want to practice again.
276
The next sound we will focus on is in the final word of our last list, offer, offer, oh, oh.
277
So pull your tongue to the back of your mouth, open the jaw slightly and round the lips, oh, oh.
278
In many North American accents,
279
this short o sounds more like a long o, o, ar, o, ar.
280
So, if you want to speak with modern RP, keep this sound as a short burst, o, o, offer.
281
Here are 10 everyday words with this sound.
282
Repeat after me.
283
Often, often.
284
Remember, you can also say often.
285
October, October.
286
Opportunity, opportunity.
287
Want, want.
288
Stop, stop.
289
Clock, clock.
290
Knowledge, knowledge.
291
Hospital, hospital.
292
Impossible, impossible and apology.
293
Apology.
294
Let's practice the sound in some full sentences.
295
Shadow me now.
296
In October, she had the opportunity to fix the broken clock, but said it was impossible without the right knowledge.
297
Instead, she stopped and offered her apologies.
298
Rewind and replay that if you'd like to practice again
299
if not let's move on to our next sound which is super super
300
british can you guess what it is it's the glottal stop we make this sound by quickly closing the throat
301
and then releasing the air it's like a tiny light cough it often replaces the sound sound in the middle
302
and at the end of a word, but it can also appear in place of some other consonant sounds too.
303
We can represent this sound with this symbol.
304
Now, the use of the glottal stop is really irregular.
305
I don't tend to use it in the middle of words.
306
This is more a feature of other accents, but there are a few.
307
where I do use it.
308
Let's practice ten glottal words.
309
Repeat these words after me.
310
But, but, about, about, football,
311
football, Scotland, Scotland, hot, hot, backpack,
312
Backpack.
313
Seatbelt.
314
Seatbelt.
315
Unfortunately.
316
Unfortunately.
317
Flight.
318
Flight. And might. Might.
319
Now, in most of these words, I would only use the glottal stop in fast informal speech.
320
Let's practice with a short text now.
321
Shadow me.
322
Unfortunately, the flight was hot, but I might make it to the football game.
323
I actually inserted another glottal stop there in it.
324
I might make it.
325
Again, I just want to reiterate, this is very relaxed, casual speech with my friends.
326
There is so much more to say about the glottal stop and when we use it in modern RP.
327
Let me know if you'd like another video on that.
328
I could go into a lot of detail.
329
Now let's look at y as in yes.
330
In British English we often insert a soft y sound before the vowel sound in words like new.
331
Many speakers from North America and other British dialects drop this sound, so new sounds more like new.
332
We can hear another important difference when the sounds and appear together as they can combine to make a sound.
333
So Tuesday becomes comes Tuesday, Tuesday.
334
Similarly, when d and y combine, they can become j, as in June.
335
Let's practise some daily words with you, chew, and June.
336
Repeat after me.
337
The tube, the tube.
338
Stupid, stupid.
339
Student, student.
340
Jew, Jew.
341
Duty, duty beauty, news, news,
342
enthusiastic, enthusiastic, assume, assume, costume,
343
costume, and attitude, And now,
344
shadow me as I say some of these words in full sentences.
345
The enthusiastic student waited for the next tube, feeling a bit stupid in his Halloween costume.
346
He'd heard on the news of possible delays due to upgrade works,
347
but felt a duty to keep a positive attitude now let's look at another sound
348
which changes a lot depending on the region you're from it's o as in home
349
if you want to pronounce
350
this sound like i do start with the schwa sound the one
351
we practiced at the beginning of the lesson then smoothly glide to an sound sound, as in good.
352
Oh, oh.
353
When I make the oh sound, I often round my lips slightly at the end.
354
Oh, oh, home.
355
Let's practise oh in ten common words.
356
We have snow, snow.
357
Hope, Hope.
358
Hope.
359
Gross.
360
Gross.
361
Photo.
362
Photo.
363
Two there.
364
Alone.
365
Alone.
366
Suppose.
367
Suppose.
368
Remote.
369
Remote.
370
Shadow.
371
shadow, borrow, borrow.
372
And although, although.
373
Shadow me now.
374
Although she usually enjoyed working remotely,
375
I suppose the winter shadows and snow made her feel more alone.
376
Okay, we're halfway through our 100 words and next we're going to practice the R sound as in car.
377
Now I use this sound a lot
378
but it's less common in the north of England and North America
379
and that's because many words which have the R sound
380
and aren't spelt with the letter R can be pronounced with a short a, as in apple, instead.
381
For example, plant, plant.
382
Do you know which one you tend to use?
383
Let's practice 10 words that I pronounce with the long R sound, but you might often hear with the short a sound.
384
We have task, task.
385
Laugh, laugh.
386
After, after.
387
nasty, nasty.
388
Chance, chance.
389
Answer, answer.
390
Example, example.
391
Advantage, advantage advantage.
392
Master.
393
Master.
394
Contrast.
395
Contrast.
396
Ready to shadow me?
397
It was not by chance that they mastered the task quickly.
398
She laughed.
399
In contrast, it was mastered after carefully examining answers and examples.
400
Let's move on to the next section.
401
Shortening a word by dropping a syllable is common in many accents, but here are ten words that the Brits would tend to shorten,
402
which many North Americans might not.
403
Repeat after me.
404
Ordinary.
405
Ordinary.
406
Praps, praps.
407
Restaurant, restaurant.
408
Library, library.
409
Secretary, secretary laboratory, secondary, secondary,
410
police, police, medicine, medicine, cemetery, cemetery. And category, category.
411
Now, note, I'm not saying that we always shorten these words.
412
I'm saying that we sometimes do, especially in fast speech.
413
Call the police.
414
Call the police.
415
I could say either.
416
Now, because it's more common to drop syllables in full sentences when speaking very fast,
417
I'm going to read the next text a little bit faster to practice.
418
See if you can shadow me.
419
You might need to rewind and try a couple of times.
420
The library is between the secondary school and the police station,
421
opposite the Indian restaurant perhaps they'll have a section on ordinary medicine okay our next section gets really tricky
422
we're going to focus on some of the most commonly mispronounced words again
423
i'm going to model these in my modern rp accent first
424
we have half half receipt receipt biscuit biscuit colleague Colleague.
425
Wednesday.
426

427
Suit.
428

429

430

431
Crisps.
432
Crisps.
433
Village.
434
Village. And draw.
435
Draw.
436
Just one syllable there.
437
Let's practice in a mini text.
438
Shadow Show me now.
439
I found the receipt for the suit, biscuits and crisps I bought in the village in a drawer in the kitchen.
440
I went with a colleague to return them all on Wednesday, but we had to wait in a massive queue for half an hour.
441
Okay, for our penultimate category, let's have a go at some words which we often shorten when chatting to friends and family.
442
We have holes, holes.
443
footy, footy.
444
Cuppa, cuppa.
445
Loo, loo.
446
Prezzy, prezzy.
447

451
i love watching the footy on the telly with a cuppa my uni mates think i'm boring
452
but they defo love it too
453
and we're going to finish today's lesson with 10 words
454
that can sound very different in my British accent and North American English.
455
For this final category, I've enlisted the help of one of my fabulous teachers, Joel, who speaks English with a general American accent.
456
He speaks beautifully.
457
I always try to get Joel to record things for our courses.
458
So, I'll say the word first and then you'll hear Joel's very different pronunciation.
459
We have...
460
Root.
461
Route.
462
Vase.
463
Vase.
464
Privacy.
465

474

475
Inquiry.
476
OK, shadow me now.
477
En route to the film premiere we discovered that our data had been shared and our privacy intruded upon.
478
The inquiry concluded it was a hostile act.
479
Shall we hear Joel?
480
En route to the film premiere, we discovered that our data had been shared and our privacy intruded upon.
481
The inquiry concluded it was a hostile act.
482
Fantastic.
483
Okay, that brings us to the end of today's lesson.
484

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.
