Hello!
2
Welcome to English for Everyone.
3
Today we're going to practice American pronunciation and intonation with this dialogue.
4
Maria asks a question, but first she says,
5
excuse me, excuse me, do you know there's a Starbucks near here?
6
The intonation goes down for excuse me.
7
It's a positive statement, so the intonation goes down at the end.
8
Excuse me.
9
We put the stress on the important word.
10
Excuse.
11
Excuse me.
12
And pronunciation changes.
13
We don't say excuse me.
14
We say excuse me.
15
We start with the s sound.
16
Excuse.
17
Excuse me.
18
Excuse me.
19
And the question.
20
Do you know if there's a Starbucks near here?
21
It's a yes or no question.
22
So the intonation goes up at the end for a yes or no question.
23
Do you know if there's a Starbucks near here?
24
Do you know if there's a Starbucks near here?
25
We stress important words.
26
No is the verb, important word.
27
Starbucks is a noun, important word.
28
So we stress no and Starbucks.
29
Do you know if there's a Starbucks near here?
30
Do you know if there's a Starbucks near here?
31
Do you know if there's a Starbucks near here?
32
Pronunciation changes with this question.
33
Do you?
34
We don't say, do you.
35
We say, do you?
36
Do you?
37
Link the sounds together.
38
Do you?
39
Do you know?
40
Do you know if there's a Starbucks near here?
41
Do you know if there's a Starbucks near here?
42
Know if.
43
We link the sounds.
44
Know if.
45
We use this W sound to connect to the next vowel.
46
with with no with do you know it do you know it do you know it you know
47
if there's a starbucks near here
48
so the man on the street responds yeah there's one right around the corner intonation goes up before a comma
49
so before a comma the intonation goes up yeah there's one
50
right around the corner intonation goes down at the end of a positive statement so the intonation goes down at the end.
51
There's one right around the corner.
52
There's one right around the corner.
53
Together?
54
Yeah, there's one right around the corner.
55
We stress important words.
56
Here, right is the important word because you're emphasizing that it's not far.
57
Right around the corner.
58
Yeah, there's one right around the corner.
59
Pronunciation changes?
60
Right.
61
Because the T is between two vowels,
62
we pronounce it with a D sound.
63
So you hear ride, d,
64
ride a, right around the corner,
65
ride a, right around the corner.
66
Here, around the corner, around the.
67
Here is a stop D,
68
around the tongue comes up,
69
but the next consonant is TH,
70
so it goes together
71
and you don't hear it around the around the corner around
72
the corner link the sounds around the corner right around the
73
corner right around the corner you don't hear the d together
74
yeah there's one right around the corner yeah there's right around
75
the corner there's one right around the corner there's one one has the sound—well
76
so remember that sound
77
and link the sounds there's there's there's make it very soft
78
there's there's one there's one there's one there's one right around
79
the corner yeah there's one right around the corner let's practice
80

81
Very good.
82
Yeah, there's one right around the corner.
83
Very good.
84
Maria asks a question.
85
How far is it?
86
It's an information question, so the intonation goes down at the end.
87
How far is it?
88
We stress important words.
89
Far is the important word so we stress far.
90
It's an adjective.
91
We stress adjectives.
92
How far is it?
93
How far is it?
94
Pronunciation?
95
It.
96
We don't say it.
97
We say it.
98
We use a stop T after a vowel.
99
A T after a vowel is a stop T.
100
So stop the air.
101
It.
102
How far is it?
103
How far is it?
104
And the man on the street answers.
105
He says it's not too far.
106
It's not too far.
107
The intonation goes down at the end because it's a positive statement.
108
It's not too far.
109
It's not too far.
110
We stress important words.
111
NOT.
112
It's negative.
113
It's a negative statement so NOT is the important word.
114
Stress NOT.
115
It's not too far.
116
It's not too far.
117
Pronunciation changes.
118
NOT to.
119
NOT to.
120
NOT is a stop T so you put your tongue up
121
and stop the air not to you link to the next sound
122
which is a full T listen not to not to not
123
to it's not too far it's not too far pronunciation it's you can say it's
124
but you will hear sometimes it's not too far,
125
it's not too far." Both are correct.
126
It's not too far or it's not too far.
127
And the man on the street answers,
128
he gives directions, he says,
129
Just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
130
Just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
131
The intonation goes DOWN at the end because it's a positive statement.
132
Just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
133
...just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
134
We stress important words.
135
Straight down In important directions stress Straight down We stress street.
136
It's a noun It's a noun.
137
Go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
138
Stress left, important information for the directions.
139
Turn left at the light.
140
Just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
141
Just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
142
Let's look at pronunciation.
143
Just go, just go.
144
The T is between two consonants, so it's silent.
145
You don't hear just, you hear just, just go.
146
just go straight down the street and turn left at the light just goes straight TR,
147
makes the CH sound S CH,
148
straight just goes straight down the street turn left at the light straight,
149
down we have a Stop T,
150
straight connected to a D sound so the tongue goes up straight,
151
BI straight down straight down the street
152
just goes straight down the street and turn right at the light
153
just goes straight down the street and turn left at the light.
154
This street.
155
Just go straight down this street.
156
Connect the sounds.
157
This street.
158
Not this street, but this street.
159
Link the words.
160
Just go straight down this street.
161
Street has a tr so we use the ch sound.
162
street just go straight down the street when we link street
163
and we have two possible pronunciations one pronunciation is the T is pronounced as a D
164
because it's between two vowels so we hear street street in street in the
165
and we don't pronounce the D because it's not stress you hear
166
and and and so together street n street n just go straight down the street
167
and turn left at the light just go straight down the street
168
and turn left at the light that's one possible pronunciation another one is I can use a stop T street
169
because the T after a vowel
170
when I connect the stop T to the N you hear
171
this street n street n just go straight down the street and turn left at the light street So two possible pronunciations.
172
Just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
173
Or just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
174
More pronunciation changes.
175
Just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
176
Turn left at the light.
177
Left at, we're going to pronounce that T because it's before a vowel.
178
Left at, left at, left at.
179
At is a stop T.
180
Left at.
181
connected to the TH sound,
182
link the words left at the at the,
183
at the, at the left at the.
184
remember this is not a,
185
it's more of a closed sound because it's not stressed left at left at the light,
186
left at the light left at the light at the light we don't say the light,
187
we say the the, the,
188
the, left at the the light.
189
Let's link the words.
190
Left at the light.
191
Left at the light.
192
Left at the light.
193
Altogether, just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
194
Just go straight down the street and turn left at the light.
195
Light.
196
We have a stop T again.
197
So we don't say light.
198
Say light.
199
Light.
200
Stop the air with your tongue.
201
Light.
202
Light at the light.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
