1
I'm excited for you because in this video, you're gonna perfect one of the main consonant sounds in the American English accent,
2
and it's a sound you might not even know about.
3
I'm talking about the stop T.
4
The trick is, it's actually not a sound.
5
There's no sound.
6
The air stops, and that's why it's called a stop T, but it's different from leaving the T out.
7
And it's easy to hear when we slow it down.
8
Listen to this.
9
The word is outdoors and it's in slow motion.
10
You'll hear two separate distinct parts.
11
Outdoors.
12
Let's look at the volume of the word.
13
outdoors.
14
Do you see this blank spot?
15
No sound.
16
That's the stop of air, the stop T.
17
Outdoors.
18
Outdoors.
19
So if this stop T is no sound, isn't that the same thing as no T?
20
And if that's true, what's the difference between fly, which has no T, and flight,
21
that ends in a stop T but has all the same sounds.
22
By the way, this is the symbol for the stop T in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
23
Fly.
24
flight They don't sound the same, do they?
25
But we're not hearing a tt sound.
26
We're not hearing that release flight.
27
Flight.
28
There's no T, but it sounds different from fly, which has the same sounds but no T.
29
Let's compare them again.
30
Fly.
31
flight fly flight.
32
So the difference is in how the sound before the T sounds, in fly.
33
Fly.
34
Fly.
35
Pitch goes up and then it comes back down.
36
Fly.
37
It sort of tapers off.
38
But in the word flight, flight.
39
The sound has an abrupt stop.
40
It doesn't have that falling or tapering off.
41
Flight.
42
fly That abrupt stop is the stop T.
43
Let's listen to a couple more pairs.
44
Sue.
45
Sue.
46
DAY J How do we make this stop of air and why not make a full 't'?
47
T sound.
48
The thing about American English is we love smoothness.
49
Everything links together in a flow of continuous sound.
50
That's one of the characteristics of American English, but tt isn't very smooth.
51
It's a stop of air, tt, and a release of air with some energy.
52
So the stop T came about where we skip the tt, release part, to make our speech more smooth.
53
We stop the air, but then we just go into the next sound without tt, the release.
54
Take for example the word fitness.
55
fitness -ness F consonant, ih vowel, a stop, fit, Then the end sound.
56
fitness.
57
Fitness.
58
To stop the air, I cut it off in my throat at the vocal cords.
59
The tongue can be in position for the T, but it doesn't have to be fit The air is stopped there.
60
Ness fitness.
61
Fitness.
62
Here are a couple more words with the stop T in the middle.
63
Hear the stop.
64
Then the next sound.
65
Outlast.
66
partner Shut down.
67
When do you make a stop T?
68
Most Americans turn a T into a stop T in two cases: when the next sound is a consonant, like in 'shutdown' or 'fitness'.
69
Also at the end of a thought group or sentence.
70
For example, he's late.
71
Late not 'lay'.
72
He's late.
73
We also make a T a stop T at the end of the word when the next word begins with a consonant, like in the phrase, not now.
74
Not now.
75
That abrupt stop, that's the stop T.
76
Not now.
77
With a stop T, you don't hear 't'.
78
That crisp, true tea that you hear in, for example, attain.
79
Attain.
80
A true T has its place, but not in the words we'll study here.
81
Now, you'll hear and see a whole bunch of words up close
82
and in slow motion with a stop T in the middle.
83
Then, there's a section where we're comparing a stop T with a word that's the same but with no T sound, like in fly.
84
Flight.
85
This is going to help you really understand this sound, but nothing is as helpful as repeating out loud.
86
So I really encourage you to do that with both the slow motion and regular paced words.

Top 15 Tongue Twisters in English: Advanced Pronunciation Lesson
American AccentDaily ConversationHigh School StudentsUniversity Students
Contesto e Sfondo
In questo video, l'insegnante si concentra su uno dei suoni consonantici principali nell'accento dell'inglese americano: il stop T. Questo suono, spesso trascurato dagli studenti di inglese, è essenziale per perfezionare la pronuncia. L'insegnante spiega come il stop T non è un suono reale, ma piuttosto un'interruzione dell'aria che porta a una pronuncia più fluida e naturale. Questo aspetto della lingua è fondamentale per coloro che desiderano imparare l'inglese con youtube e migliorare la propria comunicazione orale.
Top 5 Frasi per la Comunicazione Quotidiana
- Outdoors - Questa parola evidenzia chiaramente l'uso dello stop T.
- Fly - Osserva come questa parola ha una diversa curvatura del suono rispetto a "flight".
- Flight - Importante per comprendere la differenza di pronuncia con "fly".
- Sue - Un'altra parola che permette di esercitare il suono dello stop T.
- Day - Combina fluidità e chiarezza nella pronuncia.
Guida Passo dopo Passo per il Shadowing
Per affrontare la difficoltà del shadowing in inglese e perfezionare il controllo sullo stop T, segui questi passaggi:
- Ascolta attentamente - Prima di tutto, ascolta il video e concentra la tua attenzione sui suoni prodotti, in particolare sul stop T.
- Ripeti in tempo reale - Prova a ripetere le parole sentite nel video mentre l'insegnante le pronuncia, prestando attenzione al flusso e all'interruzione dell'aria.
- Fai attenzione alle differenze di suono - Distinguere tra parole come "fly" e "flight" è cruciale. Analizza come cambia il suono prima dello stop T.
- Registrati - Registrati mentre pratichi. Questo ti permetterà di ascoltare i tuoi progressi e identificare aree da migliorare.
- Incorpora il shadow speech - Utilizza tecniche di shadowspeaks per migliorare la connessione tra le parole e rendere la tua pronuncia più naturale.
Con dedizione e pratica regolare, potrai migliorare la tua pronuncia nell'inglese americano e sentirti più sicuro nella tua pratica di conversazione in inglese.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Possibilità con “might / may” might/may + verbo — qualcosa di possibile ma non certo | might not even know · might fall |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — qualcosa che succede adesso o in questo periodo | I'm talking · we're not hearing · we're comparing |
| Futuro con “going to” be going to + verbo — un piano o qualcosa che si vede arrivare | gonna perfect · is going to help · is going to be |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | You'll hear · we'll study |
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.
