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.

| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Mogelijkheid met “might / may” might/may + werkwoord — iets is mogelijk maar niet zeker | may hear · may know |

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 17 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, we're, don't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/, aubergine /ˈoʊ.bɚ.ʒin/, courgette /kʊɚˈʒɛt/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, itinerary /aɪˈtɪnəˌɹɛɹi/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: squeeze /skwiːz/, remind /ɹəˈmaɪnd/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, carrot /ˈkæɹət/, whammy /ˈ(h)wæmi/
- /w/ — met ronde lippen: squeeze /skwiːz/, swallow /ˈswɑ.loʊ/, whammy /ˈ(h)wæmi/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als squeeze, pronunciation, vegetable.
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.
