1
I was saying, like, the Minister of Magic, he smells like fish.
2
I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science or exact art that is British pronunciation.
3
However, for those select few who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch Americans with your cute British accent.
4
Master the schwa and even put a glottal stop in your Ts So do pay attention or you may risk sounding like a muggle.
5
Or worse, an American.
6
Bellatrix will demonstrate the first spell of connected speech.
7
“ASSIMILARE!” Assimilation is an essential spell for perfect pronunciation.
8
It involves changing one sound to sound more similar to the next sound, We smooth those sounds so they're more similar to each other.
9
And that makes it sound better.
10
For example, the words “COULD + YOU” are separated with a D and a Y sound, but with connected speech, we combine those into a /dz/ sound.
11
Say this with me class. That includes you.
12
Could you. Could you.
13
Could you Could you.
14
Fine. Did I do it right?
15
I'm scared.
16
Could you pass me the potion?
17
How miss Melon would you pronounce this with perfect British pronunciation?
18
Could you pass me the potion?
19
Yes. Good. Now you try.
20
Could you pass me the potion?
21
Yes that's fine.
22
Did you hear that They're letting muggles in Hogwarts this year.
23
Stupid Muggles!
24
Did you also notice I said “DiDZou” you and not, did ...you?
25
“This year” the S and Y combine into A “SH” sound. ThiSHear.
26
This year. You!What's your name?
27
Becky Nice to meet you.
28
Nice to meet you.
29
When one word finishes in a T sound and the next word begins with a Y sound, we connect them with a “CH” sound Meet you, Meet you.
30
Say it with me. Meet you. Nice to meet you.
31
That's good.
32
and when one word ends in an “N” sound and the next word begins with a B, W, P, or M sound For example, one muggle the ‘N’ in “One” becomes ‘M’ to join muggle, Why?
33
Because it flows together and it makes you sound more fluent and less like a robot.
34
One muggle Same with in between.
35
No, in between.
36
Ms.. Melon, you don't have any friends.
37
Who are you texting?
38
At the end of each unit, you will be tested.
39
So say these sentences perfectly.
40
Would you turn to page 394?
41
What's your excuse, Mr.
42
Potter? I want you to sit down.
43
Moving on. Dobby, go away.
44
Actually, that's a good one.
45
When you want to connect, go away.
46
We intrude a W sound in the middle.
47
Go away, And that’s the next spell. Bella.
48
“INTRUSIO!” The Intrusion spell links two words together by adding an extra sound in the middle.
49
Those sounds are “W”, “R”, and “Y” When one word ends in a vowel sound like your mouth naturally makes the shape o.
50
So if the next word begins with a vowel sound like it sounds better to connect them with a W sound, goWaway.
51
I know a wizard and when a word finishes within a And the next word has a vowel sound connected with the sound.
52
Me and you.
53
Me and you.
54
I also hate Harry Potter.
55
You understand? Yes.
56
there are of course other examples in British English.
57
We don't pronounce the “R”like Americans do, and therefore replace the “R” sound at the end of words like Potter with a simple schwa potter.
58
however, if the next word begins with a vowel sound, we do pronounce the RA, it intrudes into the two words You! Say this!
59
Faster! Harry Potter is over at Hagrid's Hut!
60
Good. Using all three linking sounds, How would you say this?
61
Sorry. Am I boring you?
62
Next one, please, Bella.
63
“CATENATE!” Catenation Catenation is when the final consonant sound of one word actually joins the next word if it begins with a vowel sound.
64
Dark arts, say with me dark arts The same with Death Eater.
65
No Death Theater.
66
Death Eater.
67
Oh, you think life isn't fair?
68
No. You think life isn't fair.
69
Life isn't fair.
70
And finally, elation “ELISIO!” Elision is when a word finishes with a consonant sound like it to look and the next word begins with a consonant sound that T, D, or K will be removed or “Elided”, particularly in a consonant cluster.
71
Only those severely lacking of you will not know what a constant cluster is.
72
So let me give you some examples.
73
the first in Christmas.
74
Elide that “T”. Chris mas The “SKT”in asked You may elide the K Only the brilliant of you will remember earlier in our assimilation unit that we could make next year.
75
Some like next year.
76
But with elision you also have the option to elide that sound “Nex year” in fact, any sound, any past tense verb (With a T sound ending!) when the next word starts with a consonant sound, I helped them”No!” I help them.
77
I help them just remove the sound altogether.
78
fine. It's time for your final test to see if you truly are Hogwarts material.
79
Complete this test by saying out loud for everyone to hear these sentences.
80
If your pronunciation matches mine, you may attend Hogwarts next year.
81
If not, Good luck.
82
Yes, it was rather good Sorry, Let me know how you did in the comments.
83
And I hope to see you next year.
84
I like this voice Class dismissed.
85
Bye Bye. fine.
86
You can stay for now.
87
I like this voice.
88
I like this voice.
89
Class Dismissed.
90
C Perfect. We don't say handbag.
91
No handbag.
92
Handbag. for example, the and thus make you more fluent than just sound flowy.
93
You know, for example, the words Could you teach me about potion making?
94
facial fears?
95
You're an insufferable.
96
Know it all.
97
You And yes, we could expect real artificial intelligence in the next decade.
98
Well, it means you're bringing jobs like your tax your life academy all completed by.
99
And I know.
100
my God. Are you serious?
101
I'm not making it up.
102
It's real. You can look it up yourself.
103
God, I'm the expert, okay?
104
I'm the expert.
105
Now you. Yes, I'm talking to you.
106
And finally illusion.
107
And finally elation.
108
Bella Then expel, please, Bella.
109
Then expel, please.
110
Bella, If you.
111
Bella, If you would be so kind, then expel Now I must talk about the dark cards for this one.
112
That will have to do.
113
Now. You? Yeah, It's okay.
114
Assimilation is a natural part of English.
115
So though you may use spells now to improve your English fluency later, it should just come naturally.
116
No shoes, Notice I didn't say nice shoes.
117
That takes too long.
118
No, we're going to connect them.
119
Nice shoes.
120

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.
