Hello, it's Keith once again from the Keith Speaking Academy, here to help you become a much more confident speaker of English.
7
Now then, do you sometimes listen to a native speaker and think, what did he say?
8
And then maybe you check the transcript and you go, he didn't say that.
9
For example, you may hear them say, that's interesting.
10
And then you look at the transcript and it says, that's interesting.
11
It should be interesting.
12
But he said interesting.
13
What's happening?
14
Well, this is what you could call squeezed pronunciation.
15
To squeeze, right?
16
To take the word and make it smaller.
17
Basically, what's happening is certain words in English, we don't pronounce every syllable.
18
We kind of swallow some of the sounds and it becomes squeezed.
19
It's something we do so that foreigners can't understand us, basically.
20
Just joking.
21
Now, what I'm going to do then in this video is I'm going to show you 12 everyday common words
22
that we use regularly and to see if you can hear the correct or this squeeze pronunciation.
23
I'm going to let you guess first and then so you can try and then we're going to go through each one.
24
Are you ready for the English vocabulary squeeze challenge?
25
Let's do it.

87
So I'd move, I'd kind of swallow the A and the R and just have library, library.

89
It's a bit like the word, you may know the word itinerary, which is the route you're going to follow on a trip.

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 | may hear · may know |
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ing | keep watching · enjoy eating |
| Futuro con “going to” be going to + verbo — un piano o qualcosa che si vede arrivare | I'm going to do · I'm going to let · you're going to follow |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | i'll do · will you · will find |
Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 17 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'm, we're, don't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/, aubergine /ˈoʊ.bɚ.ʒin/, courgette /kʊɚˈʒɛt/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, itinerary /aɪˈtɪnəˌɹɛɹi/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: squeeze /skwiːz/, pronounce /pɹəˈnaʊns/, transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/, trick /ˈtɹɪk/, remind /ɹəˈmaɪnd/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, carrot /ˈkæɹət/, whammy /ˈ(h)wæmi/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come squeeze, pronunciation, vegetable.
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.
