शैडोइंग अभ्यास: American English Connected Reading | Food You Tried For The First Time - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Hey, what's up?

It's Alex.

Today, let's look at the connected sounds in a short answer

where you're saying what you tried for the first time at a restaurant.

Let's take a look.

It seems crazy now.

It seems crazy.

So here the T will turn into a glottal stop.

It seems.

It seems crazy.

At the beginning of the sentence, the whole word it, because it's such a short

and common word gets reduced quite a lot and it blends with the next word.

It seems, it seems crazy, it seems crazy now, it seems crazy now, but I was already in college,

but I, we tap that t in but, but I was, was.

We reduce that uh in was, and that's just a very short quick uh sound.

But I was already in college.

Connect the in with the sound in college.

But I was already in college, already in college, the first time I had boba.

The first time.

The first time I had boba.

So here the two T sounds in first time connect.

The first time I had boba.

I'd never heard of it.

I'd never.

So we're going to put that D and the N together, and it's called a nasal release.

It's the N coming out of your nose as your tongue is saying D.

I'd nn.

I'd never.

I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.

Heard of it at all.

We're going to connect all of these short words here.

Of it at all.

The word at gets kind of reduced to something sounding quite a lot like the word It.

Heard of it at all.

I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.

When nigh connect the nuh to the i sound, and was also gets that same reduced vowel.

I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.

The city I grew up in didn't have, didn't have.

Glottal stop there with the T before the H.

Didn't have.

The city I grew up in didn't have much in the way.

Much in the.

So we connect the N and the TH together. In the.

Didn't have much in the way of Asian food or dessert places.

Asian food or dessert places.

Now here this word or I could choose to break up the sentence and add some emotion to it, Asian food or dessert places,

or I could link them together and I could say Asian food or dessert places.

If I link them together and I don't give any emotion to the sentence, or turns into er.

Asian food or dessert places, Asian food or dessert places.

So here, dessert, there's a glottal stop there for the t, dessert places, dessert places back then.

I remember being really surprised.

I remember.

So here, I remember.

That first syllable in remember gets kind of reduced or blended with I.

I remember.

I remember being really surprised.

Really is the reduced form of really, and most people use really in connected speech.

I remember being really, really surprised when I...

Surprised when I...

Connect that D and the W there.

Surprised when I...

It sounds kind of funny to connect it with no words around it.

Really surprised when...

Surprised when I tried boba.

Tried boba.

In the same way, we're going to connect D and B here.

Tried boba.

Tried boba for the first time.

For turns into for.

Tried boba for the first time.

Connect the T and the T there again.

First time.

I was like.

So here was connects to I, and the vowel in was gets reduced.

It's much shorter.

I was like, I was like, I was like, do you eat these little pearls? Do you? Do you?

So here, d is the reduced form of do.

Do you eat becomes do you eat? Do you?

Do you eat?

Do you eat these?

So we want to connect you and eat.

We do that with a little wha sound.

You, you eat, you eat these.

Then we take the tea in eat and turn that into a glottal stop.

Do you eat these little pearls?

Do you just only drink the tea?

Do you just, just, just, so just, the uh sound turns into something closer to I.

Just, just, do you just only drink the tea?

Also, the tea in just disappears in fast speech.

Do you just, do you just, do you just only drink the tea?

Only drink the tea?

100

What are you supposed to do?

101

What are you supposed to do?

102

So here, what are you turns into what are you?

103

What are you supposed to do?

104

Here, supposed, supposed drops that I from the first syllable.

105

Supposed becomes sposed.

106

What are you supposed to do?

107

Sposed.

108

Connect the D and the T here.

109

Supposed to.

110

And we reduce the vowel in two, but then we have the full vowel for do.

111

What are you supposed to do? To do.

112

What are you supposed to do?

113

In this video, I'll read the text twice.

114

First, with all the natural sound changes, but at a lower speed.

115

Then, at a normal speed with all the sound changes again.

116

Let me know in the comments which one you like.

117

Are you looking for a single course that explains all the connected speech rules, plus gives you thousands of sentences to practice with?

118

I've put together a full pronunciation course, focused exactly on how American English really sounds.

119

Believe me, this has been a huge amount of research on my end, and it's full of all the little details that they never tell you in textbooks.

120

All you have to do is follow along and let the repetition do the work.

121

I'll put the link in the description, but now let's get back to the video.

122

It seems crazy now, but I was already in college the first time I had boba.

123

I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.

124

The city I grew up in didn't have much in the way of Asian food or dessert places back then.

125

I remember being really surprised when I tried boba for the first time.

126

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
