1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, let's look at the connected sounds in a short passage that involves using statistics in a work conversation.
4
Let's take a look.
5
We've been doing really well recently.
6
Doing really well recently.
7
I could change this to doing if I wanted to.
8
Personally, I prefer to say ing a little bit more than in in most conversations.
9
But when I speak quickly, or if I'm happy or excited about the thing I'm talking about, maybe I'll say doing instead.
10
We've been doing really well recently.
11
We've been doing really well recently.
12
We've been doing really well recently with the new website content. With the. With the.
13
So here the TH sounds connect together into just one. With the.
14
With the new website content.
15
Website content.
16
So here the T sounds here in website and content turn into glottal stops.
17
Website content.
18
The ending T sounds get completely cut off in my throat website content.
19
Take a look at this.
20
Take a.. so here we'll connect the uh to take and look at this.
21
We connect together.
22
So look at this.
23
The T turns into the TH sound in this.
24
Take a look at this.
25
I use this sentence all the time, so I think it's a useful sentence to practice on its own.
26
Take a look at this.
27
Take a look at this.
28
Two or three months ago, two or three months ago, so two or three, we have OR turning into ER, two or three, two or three months ago.
29
In months, we can take out that TH sound completely.
30
Now it's important to learn this word with the full pronunciation, months, because when you're speaking slowly you have to say the THS.
31
But when we speak quickly we all say months here in the US.
32
Months.
33
Two or three months ago, two or three months ago we were averaging about 200 hits a day.
34
Averaging.
35
So that e, a-v-e-r, right, in averaging we take out that e, right?
36
There's no sound there.
37
Averaging.
38
Averaging about.
39
Averaging.
40
We connect that ng to the following uh sound.
41
Averaging about two.
42
Here we connect those two T sounds together. About two.
43
Averaging about 200 hits a day on our blog articles.
44
But that was actually, but that was, here we'll connect the T and TH,
45
and we'll connect the T to the W by turning the T into a glottal stop.
46
Before a W, a T usually turns into a glottal stop.
47
But that was, but that was actually, but that was actually after a downward trend.
48
Actually, we don't say actually, we say actually.
49
But that was actually after a downward trend.
50
Downward trend.
51
The D and the T connect together.
52
Downward trend.
53
So that means, so that means, that means, glottal stop there for the T in that, so that means we were regularly,
54
were regularly, that's a long r sound, we were regularly, we were regularly getting 300 hits a day before that.
55
Before that.
56
Glottal stop there at the end of the sentence.
57
Before that.
58
Now though, check this out.
59
Now though, check this out.
60
Another glottal stop there in out.
61
Check this out.
62
You can see, you can see, these vowels in you and can turn into very, very quick sounds.
63
You can see, you can see, you can see we're up to four up to, up to.
64
Here the two turns into to.
65
You can see we're up to 400 views per day.
66
400 views per day.
67
400 views per day on average this month.
68
So for 400 views per day, this is the main point of my sentence.
69
I'm not going to connect any sounds here.
70
400 views per day.
71
I keep my voice smooth and steady.
72
400 views per day.
73
I'm not adding any glottal stops or breaks in my voice there, but I'm also being very clear with all the consonants and vowels.
74
400 views per day on average. On average.
75
Now I'm connecting those sounds together.
76
On average this month.
77
This month.
78
Of course, month ends in the th sound.
79
There's no s there, so we have to say nth at the end of the word.
80
this month.
81
We've been doing really well recently with the new website content.
82
Take a look at this.
83
Two or three months ago we were averaging about 200 hits a day on our blog articles, but that was actually after a downward trend,
84
so that means we were regularly getting 300 hits a day before that.
85
Now though, check this out.
86
You can see we're up to 400 views per day on average this month.

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, ci concentreremo sui suoni connessi in un contesto di conversazione lavorativa che utilizza statistiche. L'obiettivo principale è comprendere e praticare la fluidità della lingua parlata, specialmente nei contesti di lavoro. Esploreremo come i suoni possano adattarsi l'uno all'altro durante il parlato veloce, migliorando così la nostra pronuncia e comprensione dell'inglese americano. Impareremo a raccogliere informazioni statistiche in modo più naturale e sciolto, il che è particolarmente utile per chi desidera migliorare la pronuncia inglese e rendere le proprie conversazioni più fluide.

Consigli per la pratica

Per trarre il massimo da questa lezione, ti incoraggio a utilizzare la tecnica del shadow speech. Questo metodo prevede di imitare il parlato nella stessa istante in cui lo senti. Inizia rallentando il video se necessario e cerca di ripetere ogni frase subito dopo che è stata pronunciata. Focalizzati sui suoni connessi, come "take a look at this", dove le parole si fondono tra loro. Pratica le parti del discorso in modo fluido, ad esempio prestando attenzione a come "with the" si riduce a "wihthuh". La velocità del video rappresenta una buona sfida, quindi non esitare a rivedere le parti più difficili. Ricorda che shadowing in inglese è un ottimo modo per migliorare la tua pronuncia e familiarizzare con il ritmo della lingua.

Utilizza questa scomposizione dei suoni e delle frasi per affinar le tue abilità oratorie. Utilizza questi aspetti nel tuo quotidiano per rendere l'apprendimento più pertinente e coinvolgente. Non dimenticare di visitare il nostro shadowing site per ulteriori risorse e pratiche di shadowspeaks.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
