1
Let's talk about the American accent.
2
But in this lesson, we're going to talk about the standard American accent.
3
And I really just want to break it down and talk about what are some of the different parts that make the accent what it is today.
4
Now, the first thing I want to say is that if you are an English learner, you should not feel like you have to speak with any sort of accent.
5
The most important thing is mutual intelligibility, that we understand each other.
6
That being said,
7
I do think this will help with your listening comprehension if you're watching a movie or TV show and really just get a
8
better understanding of why people speak the way they do and of course we are going to practice throughout the lesson

12
I will come back to that at the end of the lesson, but right now let's talk about the standard American accent.
13
And the first thing that I want you to keep in mind is that you need to pronounce those R's, especially at the end of words.
14
So this is a pretty clear distinction between British English and American English because in British English those R's may get dropped, but not with the American accent.
15
Father, car, water.
16
You hear that er sound at the end of those words.
17
I am your father.
18
Car for car.
19
Car for car.
20
Water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water.
21
There are some regional accents in the United States, for example, New England, in which you may hear people drop those R's.
22
But when talking about the standard American accent, you're going to pronounce them at the end of words.
23
So I want you to repeat these after me, and I'm going to really emphasize that R at the end.
24
Father, car, water.
25
Good.
26
We're going to build on top of this as we go through the lesson.
27
But I want you to think about that last word, water, because this brings me to the next part of the American accent, which I think is very common.
28
And I'm talking about the flap T.
29
So the flap T, it sounds more like a soft D, and it often occurs when the T comes between two vowel sounds, like in the word water.
30
You don't hear a true T, you hear a flap T when I say it.
31
Water.
32
And this is why these two words right here with the American accent, they sound like homonyms.
33
Metal, metal.
34
A flap T may also occur when the T comes before a dark L, such as in the words little, bottle, rattle.
35
You hear that slight D sound.
36
bottle of water I want you to repeat after me bottle of water now if you were saying it in the exact
37
same way as I was then you were linking a couple of different words and that's the next thing that I want to talk
38
to you about linking this is part of connected speech and it's when you link the final consonant sound of one word with the beginning
39
vowel sound of the next word And it's almost like you're just taking that consonant sound and just moving it over to the next word or syllable.
40
Now linking is not specific to the American accent.
41
Other English varieties use linking as well as other languages, but I do think it helps give the accent part of its rhythm and flow.
42
So bottle of water.
43
We can link that dark L in bottle with the beginning vowel sound in of.
44
Bottle of.
45
Now let's add to this phrase, get a bottle of water.
46
So I've added the words get a, except I didn't pronounce it like that.
47
I said get a bottle of water.
48
Now that final T in get, because it comes between two vowel sounds, I am going to pronounce it as, you guessed it, a flap T.
49
And then I can link that soft sound with the article a, and it's gonna sound like get a.
50
Get a bottle of water.
51
And then we can turn this into a question.
52
I want you to repeat after me.
53
Can I get a bottle of water.
54
Many learners often ask me how can I practice linking and this is something that I think you can easily do on your own.
55
Just take any article, really any paragraph,
56
go through the paragraph and identify all of those indefinite articles as well as any preposition that begins
57
with a vowel sound in on at if the word before ends with a consonant well then linking may
58
likely occur and then just go through the paragraph read it out loud and focus on those phrases and
59
make sure that you are linking that final consonant sound with the beginning vowel sound so let's look at well the
60
very first sentence of the Hobbit very well known famous story in a hole in the ground there lived
61
a hobbit just with this first sentence linking occurs three different times it occurs with the very first two
62
words in a it occurs with the next two words hole in and then it also occurs with the
63
words lived in a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit I cannot stress enough how common linking
64
is in just everyday conversation and it's really going to smooth out your speech so let's Let's build on that phrase that we were practicing before and we'll create a question.
65
Do you want to get a bottle of water?
66
Repeat after me.
67
Do you want to get a bottle of water?
68
And right now, I wanna focus on wanna and I'm emphasizing it because I want to talk about reductions, which is also very common in spoken English, especially in the United States.
69
This is when speakers shorten, change, or remove particular sounds.
70
And there are many different reductions, but I think gonna, wanna, have to, those are some of the more common ones.
71
Now even though you see them written right now, I would avoid using them in writing.
72
I know sometimes you may see people use them in writing like in a text message, but in general I would just avoid them.
73
But when it comes to spoken English, I think they're great to use because I think they'll help you develop a nice rhythm and flow.
74
one thing in particular that I want you to keep in mind and that is reductions are not really emphasized and when
75
I've taught them in the past sometimes learners have trouble with this because when focusing on the reduction people may have
76
a tendency to stress or emphasize them but they're not emphasized I just want you to listen as I say the following sentences what are you gonna do tomorrow I want to take a vacation I have to work in the morning
77
So, I'm not emphasizing these reductions.
78
If anything, they're really de-emphasized and they're just going to help you run right through the sentence.
79
Now, there's one word that I really want to highlight because we often use it and you're probably not even thinking about it.
80
And I'm talking about the word FOR.
81
So this word is often reduced and that vowel sound changes to FOR.
82
It's very soft and subtle.
83
But see if you can hear the difference.
84
Wait here for a moment.
85
Wait here for a moment.
86
And it's actually much easier when pronouncing that vowel sound just to say that for a moment.
87
Again we can reduce that word and just move quicker through the sentence.
88
Wait here for a moment.
89
Let's keep adding to that question.
90
And now we have, do you want to get a bottle of water for your father?
91
I want you to say it with me.
92
Do you want to get a bottle of water for your father?
93
One more time.
94
you want to get a bottle of water for your father?
95
The next thing that I want to talk about when it comes to the American accent that I really think that you need to master is the schwa sound.
96
People in the United States love the schwa sound.
97
This is just an unstressed vowel sound and it really is just gonna sound like uh and you hear it all the time
98
in so many different words and phrases even those reductions that we already talked about that second syllable would have the schwa
99
sound gonna wanna have to when it comes to the schwa sound it's important to know which vowel
100
sounds in a word may be unstressed because those unstressed vowels may be pronounced with the schwa sound and at
101
times this is when I hear English learners make a slight mistake and they'll end up stressing a syllable with a
102
vowel that should be unstressed and pronounced with the schwa sound so have a listen to
103
these words right here official pencil address syringe all of these words have the schwa sound and they're
104
all different letters and that's what I wanted to point out is that any vowel when it's unstressed it may get pronounced with the schwa sound it's unstressed and another way to think about it is that it's just a weak sound
105
and that's where I want to go next and talk about weak unstressed function words so there are two common words
106
that may have different pronunciations depending on whether the word is stressed or unstressed and I'm talking about the
107
words you and to so when unstressed you may sound more like yeah and to may sound more like to and
108
you hear that schwa sound my suggestion is that you don't think about these words that you're always going to hear one or the other, either you or ya.
109
Think about it more like a spectrum and you may hear anywhere in between because the fact that you're not stressing these words and you're using a weaker vowel sound, that's what's changing it to more of a schwa sound.
110
Listen to this phrase right here at the start of a question.
111
When stressed, do you wanna?
112
When unstressed, do you wanna?
113
Do you wanna?
114
Or this phrase, when stressed, to the airport.
115
When weak and unstressed, to the airport.
116
To the airport.
117
Let's add these phrases to the question, there's that to, to create a pretty long sentence that has everything that we just talked about.
118
Do you want to get a bottle of water for your father before he goes to the airport?
119
Now that we have this long question, we just need to practice.
120
And that is the next thing that I wanted to talk to you about.
121
Practice because it is so important.
122
And if you have been practicing with me throughout the lesson, I want to know.
123
Write the word speaking in the comments.
124
That tells me you've been practicing your speaking skills.
125
So when it comes to practice there are several things that you can do listen to native speakers and try to
126
imitate their pronunciation pay close attention to the way people articulate sounds and then try to replicate
127
them even if we're talking about well slight and subtle weak sounds we just talked about those words to, you, for being pronounced as to, ya, and for.
128
This is what can help you develop a more authentic, standard American accent if that happens to be one of your speaking goals.
129
So let's practice.
130
And because this question is so long, I am going to break it up into two different groups.
131
And I'm going to put a slight pause between the groups.
132
So I'll say the question, try to listen for that pause.
133
Do you want to get a bottle of water for your father before he goes to the airport.
134
Hopefully you heard that slight pause after the word father, which is before that dependent clause.
135
And I do this in order to really control the pacing.
136
So let's practice.
137
I am going to say that first group and I want you to repeat after me.
138
And then I'll say the second group and I want you to repeat again.
139
Are you ready?
140
Do you want to get a bottle of water for your father before he goes to the airport.
141
Now let's say the whole question.
142
I'll say it.
143
You repeat after me.
144
And try it again.
145
Control that pacing with that pause.
146
Do you want to get a bottle of water for your father before he goes to the airport?
147
Good.
148
Now let's say it together.
149
And this is more like shadowing.
150
I want you to say it in the exact same way that I am and really what's challenging would be to see if you can keep that same speed.
151
So let's say the question together.
152
We'll do this three times.
153
Are you ready?
154
Let's begin.
155
Do you want to get a bottle of water for your father before he goes to the airport?
156
One more time.
157
Do you want to get a bottle of water for your father before he goes to the airport?
158
Again, do you want to get a bottle of water for your father before he goes to the airport?
159
Excellent.
160
Now, if you were able to say that question just like me, well then you're using a lot of the things that we talked about in this lesson.
161
You're pronouncing those final R's, you're pronouncing that flap T, using reductions, linking, as well as some of those weak sounds like T, Y, and F.
162
And remember,
163
the most important thing is to continue practicing and really try to make time for it because exercises like the
164
one that we did in this lesson are really going to help you in daily conversations and speaking of conversations let's now talk

संदर्भ और पृष्ठभूमि
इस वीडियो में, वक्ता ने मानक अमेरिकी उच्चारण के विभिन्न पहलुओं को समझाया है। उन्होंने यह स्पष्ट किया है कि अंग्रेजी सीखने वालों के लिए किसी विशेष उच्चारण के साथ बोलना आवश्यक नहीं है, बल्कि महत्वपूर्ण यह है कि आप एक-दूसरे को समझ सकें। अमेरिका में विभिन्न क्षेत्रीय उच्चारण होते हैं, लेकिन मानक अमेरिकी उच्चारण में कुछ खास ध्वनियाँ और बोलने के तरीके होते हैं जिन्हें अभ्यास से सुधारा जा सकता है। वक्ता ने अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग के महत्व पर भी जोर दिया है, जो सुनने और बोलने में सुधार के लिए एक प्रभावी तकनीक है।
दैनिक संचार के लिए शीर्ष 5 वाक्य
- Father - अपने पिता का नाम लेते समय उच्चारण पर ध्यान दें।
- Car - शब्द के अंत में 'R' को सही से बोलें।
- Water - 'T' को 'D' की तरह बोला जाता है, जैसे 'वॉटर'।
- Bottle of water - यहां शब्दों को जोड़कर बोलना महत्वपूर्ण है।
- Get a bottle of water - यहाँ 'T' को फ्लैप 'T' में बदला गया है।
स्टेप-बाय-स्टेप शैडोइंग गाइड
यदि आप इस वीडियो में सिखाई गई ध्वनियों को बेहतर ढंग से समझना और बोलना चाहते हैं, तो नीचे दिए गए चरणों का पालन करें:
- सुनें और दोहराएं: वीडियो में दिए गए वाक्यों को सुनें और उनका अनुसरण करें। 'Father', 'Car', 'Water' जैसे शब्दों का उच्चारण ठीक से करें।
- फ्लैप 'T' का अभ्यास करें: 'Water' और 'Bottle' जैसे शब्दों में 'T' को 'D' की तरह बोलने का प्रयास करें।
- शब्दों को जोड़ें: 'Bottle of water' और 'Get a bottle of water' जैसे वाक्यों में अंतिम ध्वनियों को जोड़कर बोलें।
- शैडोइंग तकनीक का उपयोग करें: नियमित रूप से अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग का अभ्यास करें। अपने उच्चारण को रिकॉर्ड करें और अपनी आवाज़ की तुलना करें। इससे आपकी सुनने की क्षमता और उच्चारण में सुधार होगा।
- प्रगति को मापें: समय-समय पर अपनी प्रगति की समीक्षा करें और देखें कि आप कितनी आसानी से इन ध्वनियों को पकड़ रहे हैं।
इन तरीकों से आप प्रभावी रूप से अपनी अंग्रेजी बोलने की क्षमता को सुधार सकते हैं और एक अच्छे अमेरिकी उच्चारण की दिशा में बढ़ सकते हैं। यदि आप इन तकनीकों का सही तरीके से पालन करते हैं, तो आप जल्द ही shadow speak में महारत हासिल कर सकेंगे।
इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है | have been practicing · you've been practicing |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | being said · are not really emphasized · is often reduced |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | I've added · I've taught |
| Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी | reductions, which is · father, which is |
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।
