Well hey there!

I'm Emma from mmmEnglish.

I've got an awesome lesson for all of you today!

What do you notice about the pronunciation of these two sentences?

I say them quite differently.

Same sentence, quite different.

The first time, really naturally.

Just like I'd say it to my friends.

The second was a little awkward.

Very clear but a little like a robot, don't you think?

Not how I would normally speak anyway.

Natural English pronunciation is definitely not spoken perfectly.

Words reduce, they contract and they link together.

These are the secrets of natural, relaxed and generally pretty cool English pronunciation.

Now I will warn you that this lesson is advanced pronunciation practice.

Now anyone can give it a go, anyone can practise but I want you to know that it's not easy.

It takes practise, speaking out loud, listening carefully to native speakers and imitating them.

Pronouncing English words correctly is absolutely necessary for all of you

but to really take your English speaking skills up to the next level, well we need to focus on your natural pronunciation so

that you can reduce your accent a little and sound a bit more relaxed when you're chatting in English.

Let me give a quick shout out to the sponsor of today's lesson, Skillshare.

Many of you out there, hundreds in fact, have already signed up to Skillshare from some of my previous videos

and and you've been sending me messages about the Skillshare classes that you've been taking in English.

Like how cool is that?

And I can understand why you're so stoked about it.

They make it so easy to be curious about learning new skills

and hobbies that you've probably thought about before but never really done anything about.

Like last week, I signed up for singing classes.

My neighbours are going to be happy.

But I would have never done that without Skillshare.

It just gave me the opportunity and for you as an English learner, it's such a cool way to learn new vocabulary and explore topics

that interest you that you wouldn't usually learn when you're studying English.

So with over 25 ,000 classes to choose from, you're definitely going to find something that you love and a monthly membership is super affordable,

especially compared to doing the same classes offline.

I mean, can you imagine paying that?

Our friends at Skillshare are offering the first 500 viewers from mmmEnglish the chance to get two months of premium membership free.

So if you haven't signed up yet, I think you should.

Just use the link in the description below, set up your account with a credit card and of course you can cancel at any time.

All right, let's get back to our lesson.

Let me say it again.

English pronunciation is definitely not perfect.

So we're going to rough things up a little bit this lesson.

I want you to loosen up,

let your hair down and go with the flow because you just won't hear a native English speaker say

I have got an awesome lesson for all of you today.

No, no, no, no, no. In English, words bump into each other.

Sometimes sounds change.

New sounds can get added in.

And sometimes sounds are dropped or just completely eliminated.

Natural pronunciation is not something that you can see, you can't read it in a sentence and know exactly how a native English speaker would say it.

So speaking naturally is really only a skill

that you can develop through practice by listening to native English speakers and by trying it yourself.

And that is exactly what we're going to do today.

We'll take a close look at linking, an important part of natural pronunciation and I'll explain how it works,

where it happens and how you can use linking to reduce your accent and sound more natural when you speak English.

Linking is an important part of connected speech in English and there are three main categories to it.

consonant -to -vowel linking, consonant -to -consonant linking and vowel -to -vowel linking.

Now there's a lot to cover here so in this lesson, we're going to go over consonant -to -vowel linking

and I'll go into more detail about vowel -to -vowel and consonant -to -consonant linking in another lesson soon.

Now if you haven't subscribed to the channel yet, please do click the subscribe button and the bell so that I can tell you when the next lesson is ready.

And if you need to, just turn on the subtitles down there too.

The most important thing when talking about linking in English is that we're talking about sounds, not letters.

Sounds that you can hear but not the letters that you can see and this is really important to keep in mind.

We're talking about consonant sounds linking to vowel sounds in quite particular situations.

When a word ends in a consonant sound and it's followed by a word that starts with a vowel sound, we can link them.

Consonant -to -vowel linking happens all the time with phrasal verbs like this.

Now what happens all the time in English is that a word

that ends in a vowel letter on paper can sometimes end in a consonant sound when spoken.

Can you think of any examples of this?

If you can, write some of them in the comments.

So here, like and it can link together.

Now if we just look at the spelling, like ends in E, a vowel letter.

But the E is silent in this word.

So like actually ends in a sound, a consonant sound.

So with linking sounds, don't look for the letters, listen for the sounds.

This is the first clue to help you link words together when you're speaking English.

Alright, let's keep going.

With consonant to vowel linking, the sounds blend, they push together and this is how native English speakers speak so quickly.

We push our words together because it makes it so much quicker and so much easier to say them.

When one word ends with a consonant sound and the next word starts with the vowel sound, we can push them together,

the two sounds come together so that they flow.

So can you tell me, looking at this sentence,

where there is a word that ends in a consonant sound followed by one that starts with a vowel sound?

There are two examples here.

Both of these vowels are unstressed so the sound actually reduces to a schwa sound

and if you're not sure about what a schwa sound is, then check out this video next, it will explain everything.

But the sound from the end of like joins with the vowel schwa.

Hear how quick that is when you push those sounds together?

There's no space between these sounds.

Don't take a breath, don't do anything like that.

Just combine the two sounds together until they roll smoothly from the to the sound so it becomes like one word.

Now slice of follows the same rules.

You blend the from the end of slice and connect it to the schwa sound at the start of

which is pronounced of and so it's smooth and connected moving from one to the other.

Would you like a slice of cake?

Okay so I think the rules are pretty clear here.

Consonant sounds at the end of a word link to a word following that starts with a vowel sound.

Simple.

As long as you remember that you're listening for sounds rather than looking for letters, you'll be fine.

100

So right now, I want to practise with you a little but first,

101

I want you to think of your own sentence that includes an example of consonant to vowel linking.

102

See if you can write your sentence in the comments.

103

Practice saying it out loud.

104

And if you see other people's sentences down there, then try and practice with them as well.

105

Practice the linking between those sounds.

106

Okay, so I'm going to put a sentence right here on the screen

107

and then I want you to listen to me say each sentence.

108

Listen carefully because I want you to listen to how these words connect.

109

Where do they link when they're spoken?

110

I want you to look at the sentence, listen to me say it and try and work out where this linking can happen.

111

You can write it in the comments so that it looks like this, using little dashes to link those words together.

112

Okay, ready?

113

It's hot today!

114

She ate a piece of toast with avocado.

115

Where are the linking opportunities?

116

these. Did you get those?

117

Did you hear how those sounds push together?

118

So the words move together in your sentence.

119

Now speed it up, I want you to say it with me.

120

Are you ready?

121

Nice one!

122

Okay, did you get a new assignment?

123

Say it with me.

124

So where in this question can we link words together?

125

Get a for sure, get a and new assignment, new assignment, new assignment.

126

Did you get a new assignment?

127

Where are those linking opportunities?

128

Or even it might reduce down to waking up, waking up early, up early, up early.

129

There are lots of opportunities to connect these consonants to these vowel sounds, right?

130

It's really addictive when you start, isn't it?

131

You'll notice all of these opportunities to link words together all the time

132

and you haven't even seen part two or part three of these lessons, right?

133

I've got more.

134

His room was on the south side of the campus.

135

Can you say it with me? his room was on the south side of the campus.

136

So we're replacing the full vowel sound of with the schwa.

137

Side of, the south side of, the south side of the campus.

138

His room was on the south side of the campus.

139

Nice!

140

Well I hope that you've enjoyed this lesson so far.

141

Remember that this is part one, there's more coming and while it may seem complicated at first,

142

this kind of linking is quite straightforward when you slow down and you think about it.

143

You'll notice that lots of small and very common words start with vowels.

144

Prepositions, articles, conjunctions, these are all great places to start practising linking and connected speech.

145

Remember to practise with your ears by imitating and copying a native English speaker.

146

This is a really great way to improve your linking sounds and your natural expression.

147

My imitation lessons are a great place to start practising connected speech

148

so you can check them out right here and with a little practice, you'll start feeling that flow and that rhythm in your sentences

149

and it will start to impact on the way that you speak English naturally.

150

Don't forget that part two and part three of these lessons are coming soon so in the meantime while you're waiting,

151

why don't you check out these lessons here.

152

That one in particular where I'll show you how to focus on your pronunciation and natural English expression through imitating.

153

Thanks for all of your hard work today and all of your comments that you've been writing down there.

154

Make sure you say hi!

155

You are amazing!

156

I'll see you next week!

이 영상으로 연습하는 방법

먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
보통 속도로 한 문장씩 섀도잉하고, 화자의 리듬과 맞을 때까지 반복합니다.
자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, vowel, consonant, pronunciation 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
