hey what's up it's alex today i'd like to look at the connected sounds in a short passage
2
that answers the ielts prompt describe a time you lost your patience let's take a look
3
i'm really quite a patient guy here i often say really instead of really i'm really i'm really quite a
4
so here i connect quite and uh into quiet there's a little tap there to connect the t
5
to the uh i'm really quite a patient guy before the consonant the end of patient
6
that t turns into a glottal stop patient guy i'm really quite a patient guy it's very very rare
7
that i lose my patience it's very very rare i like
8
to connect these two words this is actually something i say all the time.
9
It's very, very rare.
10
It's very, very rare that I, that I, that I, I connect the T at the end of that to I, that I lose my patience.
11
But it still happens.
12
But it, I tap that T at the end of but, and then I have a glottal stop for the T at the end of it, because I've got an S right after it
13
but it still happens the most recent time the most recent
14
i connect the with most the most the most recent now you notice
15
when i said most by itself i pronounce the t but
16
when i say most recent i take out
17
that t in most the most recent time turn that t in recent into a glottal stop.
18
The most recent time.
19
Recent time.
20
The most recent time was when I was, was when I was, for both of those was words,
21
take that vowel and turn it into a very, very, very quick sound.
22
Was when I was.
23
The most recent time was when I was, was when I was.
24
The most recent time was was when I was trying to get, trying to get, trying to, we connect to trying to,
25
trying to get, trying to get, get has a glottal stop, was when I was trying to get something solved.
26
Now this word something has this fast pronunciation, something.
27
It's s-u-m, glottal stop, m.
28
Something.
29
I was trying to get something solved.
30
Now some people don't like that something pronunciation
31
and they prefer to say something with an i n instead
32
of an ing i was trying to get something solved i
33
was trying to get something solved with my home internet service with my home internet service notice
34
that t in internet the first t gets removed internet and
35
that second t turns into a global stop internet service internet service the most recent time was
36

37
Now, I'll take a moment here to say that if you're enjoying this video and you like this style of teaching, definitely check out the other videos,
38
the premium content that I've linked in my description and in the comments below.
39
In those videos, I go into a lot more detail, and I talk about much longer texts, and I start breaking down some of the vocabulary and the organizational choices as well.
40
Check those out if you're interested, and now let's get back to this lesson.
41
Home Internet Service.
42
I call them.
43
I call them.
44
Call them.
45
So here we say call them.
46
We completely take out that th in them.
47
I call them like six or seven times.
48
So here I'm adding the filler like.
49
People use this all the time in natural English speech.
50
I call them like six or seven times.
51
I call them like six or seven.
52
Connect that six or seven and reduce the vowel in or.
53
I call them like six
54
or seven times over more than a week over more than than turns into them
55
when it's unstressed I call them like six
56
or seven times over more than a week over more than
57
than more than a week every call they said they were working on it
58
and asked me to try this and that every call they said they Here I'm connecting that said to they,
59
they said they, said they.
60
They said they were working on it.
61
They are working on it.
62
That W sound in Word gets reduced in rapid speech.
63
They're working on it, I'm not saying they're working.
64
I'm not saying they are working.
65
I'm saying they're, they're, they're, they said they're working on it.
66
In fast speech, it really sounds like they are, but there is a very small difference in the rhythm.
67
They said they're, they're, they're, there's like space for that W to exist, but it's really, really reduced.
68
They said they're, they're working on it, working on it.
69
Here, it has a glottal stop instead of a full T.
70
Working on it and asked me and asked me and asked me.
71
So here, and loses that d and asked asked
72
which is such a difficult word to say slowly gets really simplified to asked asked
73
and asked me and asked me
74
that d at the end of asked also gets pretty reduced too
75
and asked and asked me to and that's me
76
and that's me to me to turns into and ask me to
77
and ask me to try this And that over and over and nothing worked this and that over and over,
78
and nothing worked This and that you're turning that and into just and this and that this and that over,
79
and over Also, there's no D and and there either this and that over and over, and nothing worked This and that over and over,
80
and nothing three ands, and no d's This and that over and over and nothing worked.
81
Also pay attention that in that there's a glottal stop.
82
This and that over and over and nothing worked.
83
On one call, I explained the whole situation.
84
On one call, I explained the.
85
That N and the TH connect together.
86
We completely skip the D at the end of explained.
87
I explained the.
88
I explained the whole situation very clearly at the beginning.
89
very clearly yet yet yet I'm not saying at I'm saying
90
it very clearly yet yet very clearly at the beginning I'm
91
also connecting the at to the th very clearly at the
92
it the it the very clearly at the beginning the guy
93
listened patiently the guy listened patiently we have N D at the end of listened
94
and that d gets removed and i connect the n to the p but
95
when i connect an n to a p i actually turn
96
the n into an m the guy listen patiently the guy
97
listened patiently now you never hear the m in connected speech
98
because it happens so fast and it naturally connects to the p
99
but it does happen if you try to slow it down that m appears the guy listened patiently listen listen patiently.
100
The guy listened patiently.
101
Then he called me Jeffrey.
102
Then he called me, called me.
103
That D in called gets connected to the M in me.
104
Called me.
105
It really, really weakens, but it doesn't disappear.
106
It's not call me.
107
Then he called, called, it's like I want to say D, but I just don't finish the sound and I turn it into M instead.
108
Then he called me Jeffrey it's such a small detail it's
109
such connect those two s sounds together it's such a such a small detail it's such a small detail
110
but getting but getting called I take out the t in
111
but turn it into a glottal stop
112
but getting called the getting called the here the d
113
and the th connect called the wrong name
114
but getting called the wrong name when I was really frustrated
115
so I have two little chunks here the wrong name
116
when I was the wrong name the wrong the wrong name
117
when I was was again we're really really reducing the uh in was
118
when I was was was really frustrated just sent me over edge just sent me
119
so here just we lose that t and just
120
and sent we connect
121
that to me with a gloss stop just sent me over
122
the edge just sent me over the edge just sent me over the edge the edge we connect the the
123
and edge with a yuh sound just sent me over the edge i cancelled my service that That same day,
124
I canceled my, canceled my.
125
I'm really shortening that d sound in canceled.
126
I canceled my service, canceled my service that same day, that same day.
127
So here, I'm not saying the, I'm not really reducing that, because I'm saying which day?
128
That day, that same day.
129
I canceled my service that same day and switched to another company.
130
Switch to, switch to.
131
So I connect that switch to, to, by connecting those T sounds together.
132
and I don't really say to another, to another.
133
I often talk about having to reduce the ooh to a for two, but here I'm not doing that.
134
To one another.
135
Switch to one another company.
136
Switch to, because two is part of the verb here, switch to something.
137
Switch to one another company.
138
I simply connect ooh and a with a what sound.
139
And switch to another company.
140
Of course, I'm also reducing that D in AND and switch to another company.
141
I canceled my service that same day and switched to another company.
142
Okay, now I'm going to read the whole thing twice.
143
First, slowly, but still with all the connected sounds, which sounds funny, but it definitely helps to see where the connections happen.
144
Then I'll read it at a natural speed.
145
I'm really quite a patient guy.
146
It's very, very rare that I lose my patience.
147
But it still happens.
148
The most recent time was when I was trying to get something solved with my home internet service.
149
I called them like six or seven times over more than a week.
150
Every call they said they were working on it
151
and asked me to try this and that over and over and nothing worked.
152
On one call I explained the whole situation very clearly at the beginning.
153
The guy listened patiently.
154
Then he called me Jeffrey.
155
It's such a small detail,
156
but getting called the wrong name when I was really frustrated just sent me over the edge.
157
I canceled my service that same day and switched to another company.
158
Can you tell that this is a real story?
159
Really happened.
160
Here we go with a full speed reading.
161
I'm really quite a patient guy.
162
It's very, very rare that I lose my patience, but it still happens.
163
The most recent time was when I was trying to get something solved with my home internet service.
164
I called them like six or seven times over more than a week.
165
Every call, they said they were working on it
166
and asked me to try this and that over and over and nothing worked.
167
On one call, I explained the whole situation very clearly at the beginning.
168
The guy listened patiently, then he called me Jeffrey.
169
It's such a small detail, but getting called the wrong name when I was really frustrated just sent me over the edge.
170
I canceled my service that same day and switched to another company.
Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?
Praticar a conversação em inglês é essencial para se tornar fluente e confiante ao se comunicar. Este vídeo fornece um excelente exemplo de como conectar sons e palavras de forma natural, o que é particularmente útil para quem está se preparando para exames como o IELTS. Com a técnica de shadowspeak, você pode melhorar sua pronúncia e entonação, imitando as expressões do falante nativo. Ao seguir o ritmo e a cadência de palavras e frases, você não só desenvolverá sua capacidade de fala, mas também sua compreensão auditiva.
Gramática & Expressões em Contexto
- Conexão de Sons: O falante conecta ‘quite’ e ‘a’, formando ‘quiet’. Essa técnica ajuda a soar mais natural na conversa.
- Uso de Paradas Glotais: A transformação da letra ‘t’ em uma parada glotal em palavras como ‘patient’ e ‘most’ é comum na fala casual. Isso pode ser uma expectativa em ambientes mais informais.
- Filler Words: O uso de palavras como ‘like’ também é destacado, pois as pessoas frequentemente as usam para manter o fluxo da conversa, oferecendo um tempo para pensar no que dizer a seguir.
- Redução de Sons: Palavras como ‘something’ são pronunciadas de forma rápida, levando a uma escrita e fala mais fluentes.
Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia
Durante a visualização do vídeo, é possível identificar algumas armadilhas de pronúncia que podem ocorrer ao falar inglês, especialmente nas conexões entre palavras e sons:
- ‘Internet’: A remoção do primeiro ‘t’ torna a palavra mais fácil de pronunciar em conversas informais. Ao praticar, você deve se atentar a essa junção, que pode parecer estranha em um primeiro momento.
- ‘Something’: A pronúncia rápida dessa palavra pode levar à confusão, especialmente para quem está começando. Certifique-se de praticar a forma reduzida de ‘something’ que é mais comum na fala cotidiana.
- Paradas Glotais: A identificação e uso de paradas glotais em palavras que normalmente terminariam com ‘t’ são cruciais. Esta técnica ajudará a soarem mais naturais em contextos informais, como em ‘but’ e ‘it’.
Estas dicas são essenciais para melhorar sua prática de conversação em inglês, e usar a técnica de shadow speech pode acelerar seu aprendizado, tornando suas falas mais fluidas e naturais.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
