1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today we're going to look at the connected readings in a sample of ordinary English from a restaurant review
4
that I found online.
5
Let's take a look.
6
This restaurant looks so generic and boring from the outside.
7
This restaurant, restaurant, we don't pronounce that a-u in the middle, restaurant, looks so, looks so,
8
we connect those two s sounds, looks so generic and boring.
9
AND boring becomes and boring.
10
That D at the end of AND.
11
Some speakers do different things with this.
12
I personally make it a very very weak D.
13
My tongue is in position to say D but it doesn't really say it.
14
It just goes straight to B. And boring. And boring. And boring.
15
So generic and boring from the outside
16
that I didn't go for years from the outside the yeah
17
yeah the outside we put a yeah there from the outside
18
that I didn't go for years that I
19
that I we link those two words together and the final T in
20
that turns into a flap that I
21
that I didn't go didn't didn't that's a glottal stop instead of a T at the end,
22
didn't go for years. For years.
23
For turns into for. For years.
24
Assuming that it was an overpriced tourist trap.
25
That it wasn't.
26
That it wasn't.
27
It's funny to me how all those four words kind of combine into one very quick thing, because they're not the focus of the sentence.
28
That it wasn't.
29
Assuming that it was an overpriced...
30
Assuming that it was an over...
31
That it was an...
32
That it was an overpriced tourist trap.
33
Overpriced tourist trap.
34
The D and T connect together, and then the T and T connect together.
35
Overpriced tourist trap.
36
Now, some people say tourist.
37
I say tourist.
38
This is one of those words that has multiple acceptable pronunciations in American English.
39
Tourist trap.
40
Tourist trap.
41
I say tourist trap.
42
I finally went and I was very pleasantly surprised.
43
Went.
44
That T at the end turns into a glottal stop.
45
I finally went and I was very pleasantly surprised.
46
Pleasant-ly.
47
There's another glottal stop T there.
48
Pleasant-ly surprised.
49
Surprised.
50
Not sur-prised, but surprised.
51
I got the seafood plate.
52
I got the seafood plate.
53
I got the.
54
Got the.
55
We connect those T's together.
56
Got the.
57
Got the seafood plate that had, that had, that had, that had, that turns into a very very short word.
58
That, that, that had, that had to, that had to, that had to, d and t connect together.
59
Two of the best shrimp I've ever eaten.
60
Two of the best shrimp.
61
Now of the we could say other or of the.
62
Two of the best, two of the best, two of the best shrimp.
63
But that T in best disappears, and the two S sounds connect.
64
Best shrimp.
65
Two of the best shrimp I've ever eaten.
66
Eaten.
67
Eaten.
68
We have a glottal stop there.
69
Eaten.
70
A crab cake.
71
Grilled fish.
72
Grilled fish.
73
Again, that D kind of weakens before that F sound grilled fish,
74
grilled fish, grilled fish, and mashed Okinawan sweet potato,
75
and mashed, now that D disappears because we connect the N with M,
76
and mashed, and mashed, and mashed Okinawan.
77
Now with mashed Okinawan, the D sound is pronounced completely, but it's connected to the next syllable.
78
Mashtokinawan.
79
Mashtokinawan sweet potato.
80
Mashtokinawan sweet potato.
81
That T in sweet turns into a glottal stop.
82
Sweet potato.
83
Sweet potato.
84
All over a Thai coconut cream sauce.
85
Same thing for the T in coconut.
86
Coconut cream sauce.
87
It's a little bit expensive.
88
It's a tap and it's kind of hard to say.
89
We had two taps there.
90
One in little and the other in bit.
91
Little bit expensive.
92
For what you get compared to other places.
93
For what you get.
94
For what you get.
95
For what you get.
96
For what you get.
97
Now even though you is a pronoun, that's an important word, we still don't really stress it here.
98
For what ya, for what ya, for what ya, because the stress is going to be on get.
99
For what you get, for what you get compared to other places.
100
Get, that T disappears, turns into a glottal stop.
101
Get compared to, get compared to other places.
102
Compared to.
103
And those D and T sounds link together, and the vowel in TO reduces to UH,
104
compared TO, compared to other places, compared to other places.
105
Now, right there, I did a linking sound between two other,
106
two other, or tother, tother.
107
You can put the linking sound in, or you can choose to leave it out.
108
It's your decision.
109
Compared to other places.
110
Compared to other places.
111
They both sound just fine to me.
112
But I still look forward to going back.
113
But I, we tap that T in but I, still look.
114
Connect those L sounds together.
115
Still look forward to.
116
Forward to.
117
Now we have that same thing where two connects with forward to forward to forward to going back.
118
This restaurant looks so generic and boring from the outside
119
that I didn't go for years assuming that it was an overpriced tourist trap.
120
I finally went and I was very pleasantly surprised.
121
I got the seafood plate that had two of the best shrimp I've ever eaten, a crab cake, grilled fish,
122
and mashed Okinawan sweet potato all over a Thai coconut cream sauce.
123
It's a little bit expensive for what you get compared to other places, but I still look forward to going back.

इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?

जब आप इस वीडियो से अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करते हैं, तो आप न केवल सामान्य अंग्रेजी के संपर्क में आते हैं बल्कि रेस्टोरेंट में समीक्षा करने का एक वास्तविक अनुभव भी प्राप्त करते हैं। अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास आपके आत्मविश्वास को बढ़ाता है और आपको निकटवर्ती उच्चारण और बातचीत की अनौपचारिक शैली को समझने में मदद करता है। वीडियो में दर्शाए गए संवाद से आपको shadow speech तकनीक का इस्तेमाल कर एक सहज लहजे में संवाद करने का मौका मिलता है, जो आपकी बोलने की क्षमता को बेहतर बनाता है।

व्याकरण और संदर्भ में अभिव्यक्तियाँ

इस वीडियो में स्पीकर ने कई महत्वपूर्ण व्याकरणिक संरचनाओं का उपयोग किया है जो अंग्रेजी बोलने के अभ्यास में सहायक हो सकती हैं:

  • "That it wasn't": इस वाक्यांश में दो शब्दों का मिलना दर्शाता है कि प्राकृतिक बातचीत में शब्दों को कैसे जोड़ा जाता है।
  • "For years": यह एक सामान्य वाक्यात्मक संरचना है जो समयावधि को दर्शाती है और स्पीकर ने इसे संक्षिप्त स्वरुप में प्रस्तुत किया है।
  • "Assuming that it was an overpriced tourist trap": यह जटिल वाक्यांश व्याकरण के कई पहलुओं को समाहित करता है और इसे सही ढंग से बोलने से फ्लूएंसी में वृद्धि होती है।

सामान्य उच्चारण की चुनौतियाँ

वीडियो में कुछ शब्दों और उच्चारणों में विविधता है जो सीखने वालों के लिए चुनौतीपूर्ण हो सकते हैं:

  • "Restaurant": इस शब्द में 'a-u' के संयोजन को सही तरीके से बोलने में ध्यान देने की आवश्यकता होती है।
  • "Tourist trap": यहां, स्पीकर के उच्चारण में एक अद्वितीयता है, जो इसे मानक उच्चारण से अलग बनाता है।
  • "Surprised": इस शब्द का उच्चारण करते समय ध्यान देने की जरूरत है कि इसे 'sur-prised' के बजाय 'surprised' के रूप में बोला जाता है।

यदि आप इन उच्चारणों को सीखने और सुधारने के लिए shadowspeaks का उपयोग करते हैं, तो आप अपनी अंग्रेजी बोलने की दक्षता में सुधार कर सकते हैं। Shadow speak तकनीक अपनाकर, आप वास्तविक अंग्रेजी संवाद का अनुकरण कर सकते हैं, जो आपके लिए एक उपयोगी shadowing site साबित हो सकता है।

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।
