Let's have a look.
4
The very first paid work I did was probably one night.
5
Very first paid work.
6
This T in first can disappear.
7
Very first paid work.
8
The very first paid work I did was probably one night.
9
probably becomes probably probably one night one night one ends with n
10
and night begins with n so they connect together probably one night probably one night
11
when I helped out at a restaurant when I I.
12
Those words connect together.
13
When I helped out at a restaurant.
14

16
Helped out at a restaurant.
17
Helped out at a restaurant.
18
Helped out at a.
19
Helped out at a restaurant.
20
Restaurant is written
21
restaurant but that syllable in the middle disappears restaurant helped out at a restaurant
22
that my aunt owned the word that just turns into the helped out at a restaurant that my aunt owned
23
this word aunt a lot of people pronounce it aunt and a lot of people pronounce it aunt
24
personally i've always pronounced it aunt but both pronunciations are acceptable that my aunt owned.
25
I must have been about 15 at the time.
26
I must have been.
27
So if I speak very quickly, must have been turns into must have been.
28
I must have been.
29
Must have been.
30
If I speak a little bit quickly, then it becomes must have been.
31
Not must have been, but must have been.
32
But when it's very fast, it turns into must have.
33
Must have been about 15 at the time.
34
about 15 that T in about turns into a glottal stop at the time at becomes reduced
35
and at the connect together into one sound at the at
36
the 15 at the time the restaurant had a bar the restaurant had a bar.
37
So again, we reduce restaurant to restaurant, and the final T disappears before H.
38
Then D in had a connects to the next syllable.
39
Had a bar.
40
The restaurant had a bar. And that night.
41
The D in and connects to TH, and the T in that becomes a glottal stop.
42
And that night, and that night some rich guy had a birthday party with a ton of people.
43
Had a, had a birthday party.
44
We would connect had a together into what sounds like one word.
45
Had a, had a birthday party there with a ton of people.
46
The same thing with with a, with a ton of people.
47
With a ton of people.
48
Of here can also change depending on how fast I say it.
49
Ton of people.
50
Ton of people.
51
Ton of people.
52
And so my aunt asked if I would help out.
53
And so, that D in and disappears.
54
And so my aunt asked if I would help out.
55
Now that D in would help stays present, but it's kind of tapped.
56
If I would help out. Would help. Would help.
57
It's a very, very light tap with my tongue on the roof of my mouth.
58

It doesn't turn into anything.
70
It just goes out of the word entirely.

Just brought up.
72
just brought up.
73
Now that T in brought turns into a tap.
74
Just brought up, brought up.
75
Just brought up extra chairs from the basement and took out the garbage.
76
Basement, basement.
77
There's a glottal stop instead of a T.
78
Basement and took out the garbage.
79
Now and took, we make that D a little longer
80
and took and took
81
and took out the garbage out the connects together out the
82
garbage out the garbage some people might say this as a glottal stop first out the out the
83
so a glottal stop before the th sound other people would link it directly together out the garbage out the garbage
84
personally i do the glottal stop first so i do a full glottal stop then the th out the garbage
85
took out the garbage little things like that little the t in little always turns into a tap little things,
86
little things like that.
87

100
That T in it becomes a glottal stop.
101
So it was a, and then we connect was a together.
102
So it was a nice surprise.
103
And we connect nice and surprise together because of the s sound that those words share.
104

106
So we connect the at the into at the end.

109
or it could turn into end of the, end of the night.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
