1
I am from the United States
2
and maybe you can tell from the sound of my accent
3
and that is what I want to talk to you about today.
4
I want to go over five sounds
5
that are really a distinct part of the American accent and let's not waste any time.
6
I want to begin with our first sound which is the flap T.
7
So let's start out with the placement of the tongue in your mouth.
8
Now very quickly before we talk about the flap T.
9
When making either a T or D sound,
10
your tongue is going to come up to the top part of your mouth just behind your top front T.
11
Now, the distinction when making the flap T is
12
that your tongue is just going to come up and flap against the top part of your mouth.
13
And when you do this, the sound, it's going to sound like a soft D sound.
14
It's very quick.
15
It's very soft.
16
And that is the flap T.
17
And this is especially useful because you hear it all the time in casual conversation.
18
And it's really a defining feature of the American accent.
19
Now, there are several times when a T is going to sound like a flap T.
20
And I want to share that with you and practice with some individual words.
21
So, a T may sound like a flap T when it comes between two vowels.
22
Just repeat these words after me water
23
water city city butter
24
butter activity activity with the last word notice
25
there are two T's the first T comes at the beginning of a stressed syllable
26
and therefore you hear a true T the second T comes between two vowel sounds in an unstressed syllable
27
and that's when you hear that flap T activity
28
activity as you were saying those words hopefully you know pay attention to your tongue coming up
29
and flapping against the top part of your mouth a T may also be pronounced as a flap T
30
when it comes between a vowel and a dark L
31
and a dark L really comes at the end of a word sounds more like all
32
and once again just repeat these words after me little little battle battle bottle bottle
33
hospital hospital you sound very American it may also occur before
34
or after and our controlled vowel and we're going to talk about
35
and our controlled vowel a little bit later on
36
but let's focus on
37
that flap T I want
38
you to repeat after me party party dirty dirty turtle turtle daughter daughter
39
and finally it may sound like a flap T
40
when it comes after a
41
or sound now to be honest sometimes in the US you may hear people use a true T
42
but once again let's focus on that flap T repeat after me doctor doctor sister sister disaster
43
disaster.
44
Let's keep practicing.
45
But not just with individual words.
46
I want to practice with a tongue twister
47
because not only is it challenging
48
but it really gets you working on flapping the tongue against the top part of your mouth.
49
And the tongue twister that I love using with learners is Betty Botter.
50
So, to start out, I just want you to listen to me say this tongue twister.
51
Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said this butter's bitter.
52
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter, but a bit of better butter will make my batter better.
53
Let's practice one line at a time.
54
I want you to shadow and say it with me.
55
We'll say it once slowly and then once at a normal speed.
56
So let's start with our first line.
57
Betty Botter bought some butter.
58
Betty Botter butter.
59
You hear those flap T's.
60
Let's say it slowly, Betty Botter bought some butter.
61
And at a normal speed, Betty Botter bought some butter.
62
The next line, but she said this butter is bitter.
63
Let's say it slowly, but she said this butter is bitter.
64
At a normal speed, but she said this butter is bitter.
65
And then the next line, if I put it in my batter, one thing I want to point out think about
66
that phrase put it it comes between two vowel sounds
67
so I'm gonna pronounce it as a flat T
68
and then we can link it with the vowel sound in it
69
so it's gonna sound like put it put it let's say it slowly if I put it in my batter,
70
and now at a normal speed, if I put it in my batter, the next line, it will make my batter bitter.
71
Let's say it slowly.
72
It will make my batter bitter.
73
At a normal speed, it will make my batter bitter.
74
And then there's, but a bit of better butter.
75
Keep in mind those two phrases
76
but a bit of I can link them together with a flat T
77
but a bit of so let's say it slowly
78
but a bit of better butter at a normal speed
79
but a bit of better butter
80
and finally we'll make my better better let's say
81
it slowly will make my batter better at a normal speed will make my batter better all right I know
82
that I'm going through this quickly but as we were saying
83
that this tongue twister again hopefully you can feel
84
that tongue coming up
85
and flapping against the top part of your mouth let's say the entire thing we'll say it one time slowly
86
and then once at a normal speed so let's say it slowly.
87
Shadow, say it with me.
88
Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said this butter's bitter.
89
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter.
90
But a bit of better butter will make my batter better.
91
And now at a normal speed, ready?
92
Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said this butter's bitter.
93
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter, but a bit of better butter will make my batter better.
94
All right, great job.
95
This is an excellent tongue twister to familiarize yourself with the flap T
96
and you can just keep practicing and practicing and practicing some more.
97
Let's move on to our next sound.
98
And well, actually before we do, this is something I should have said at the very beginning and I want to emphasize it right now.
99
Even though we're talking about the American accent in this lesson, you should never feel like you need to speak with any particular English accent.
100
There are many English varieties out there.
101
I think we can appreciate all of them.
102
But I know that some of you live in the United States
103
or you're traveling there or maybe you work with people in the U .S.
104
So this may be one of your speaking goals, whether you want to emulate the American accent
105
or just get a better understanding as to why people sound the way they do.
106
I think this can be a useful resource.
107
And if you are someone who is interested in learning more about English accents or vocabulary,
108
grammar, pretty much anything, please subscribe, turn on notifications.
109
That way I can become your teacher.
110
My name is Wes.
111
The channel is Interactive English, and it's all about helping you reach your fluency goals.
112
All right, now let's continue with our next sound, which is the American R.
113
At least I call it the American R.
114
I think this is one of the most recognizable sounds for learners when talking about the American accent.
115
Now, one thing you should know is that in the United States, the R sound is rhotic.
116
All this means is that you're gonna hear it no matter where it is in the word, at the beginning, the middle, the end.
117
Now, of course, there are certain regional accents that may drop the R, like, for example, the Boston accent.
118
They may drop the R if I were to say, I need to park the car.
119
And you don't really hear that R.
120
It's not an American R in park or car.
121
But in general, you are going to hear that sound wherever it is in the word.
122
So let's talk about how to make that sound.
123
You're gonna pull your tongue back and up towards the roof of your mouth.
124
The sides of your tongue are gonna lightly touch your upper back teeth.
125
Now your lips are gonna be slightly open but not rounded like you would have in some sounds like the sound.
126
They're not gonna be rounded like that but you know slightly open.
127
Just say that sound with me and repeat these words I'm really going to emphasize
128
that that our sound right right red red really really
129
and now repeat these words when the R is more in the middle of the word.
130
Around, around.
131
Giraffe, giraffe.
132
Carry, carry.
133
And at the end of the word car car door door
134
fear fear and because other English varieties may drop the R
135
when it comes at the end I think
136
that is more the the distinct part of the American accent
137
when it comes to this sound
138
but let's practice with with some tongue twisters again I am gonna say it slowly
139
and I want you to shadow and say it with me
140
and then we'll we'll say
141
it at a normal speed the first one rare red roses are really remarkable let's say
142
it slowly rare red roses are really remarkable at a normal speed rare red roses are really remarkable
143
and you really feel that rough
144
that our sound the next one roast rabbit is rarely rated wrongly let's say
145
it slowly roast rabbit is rarely rated wrongly at a normal speed roast rabbit is rarely rated wrongly
146
that is a that is a mouthful and finally
147
Rory and Roger were drinking beer at the rural brewery let's say it slowly
148
Rory and Roger were drinking beer at the rural brewery okay at a normal speed
149
Rory and Roger were drinking beer at the rural brewery that's even difficult
150
that last part rural brewery is challenging even for me to say
151
but these are good these are good tongue twisters just to practice
152
that American are now let's have some fun
153
and I want you to say this next one as quickly as you can
154
and this one is really used as more of a vocal warm -up
155
if an actor is getting ready to go on stage
156
or a person is getting ready to present you could use
157
this tongue twister just to loosen up a little bit
158
and you're just gonna say it again and again
159
and again as quickly as you can
160
and the tongue twister is red Lori yellow lori
161
and this is really challenging not just because of the er sound
162
but it's transitioning that r and l combination
163
so let's let's say it quickly
164
and uh we'll just try to shadow say
165
it with me red lori yellow lori red lori yellow lori
166
red lori yellow lori red lori yellow lori red lori yellow
167
lori red lori yellow lori red lori okay okay hopefully as
168
i was going through it you were able to try to maintain
169
that pace at some point you're you're gonna fumble and
170
that is when you could just start over and say it again
171
and again and practice that that American are let's continue with our next sound
172
and we're gonna go back to that our controlled vowel
173
which I mentioned earlier but specifically I want to talk about the er combination
174
so in our controlled vowel is when you have a vowel
175
that is modified by that sound it's like you have the vowel that's followed by an er
176
and instead of it being two separate sounds it's in the same syllable
177
so it really blends into a single sound
178
and I mentioned I want to talk about
179
that er combination let's talk about how to make that sound
180
and how it's a little different from the American are
181
that we just talked about you're gonna pull your tongue back
182
and up just like before but your tongue is going to be backing up more in a flat shape.
183
And it's going to press lightly against your upper back teeth.
184
And you make that sound.
185
And you should feel that your tongue is flat and up pressing against your upper back teeth.
186
Your lips are going to come in and kind of push away from your teeth.
187
So just to put the sounds together.
188
That American R and then the R controlled that so you can hear the difference.
189
I don't know why it feels a little awkward just saying these sounds.
190
But hopefully you could hear the difference between these two.
191
But again, that it is a feature of the American accent.
192
Let's practice with some words.
193
I want you to repeat after me when it comes at the beginning of a word.
194
Earth.
195
Earth.
196
Early.
197
Early.
198
Earn.
199
Earn.
200
Now in the middle, verb verb, service, service, perfect,
201
perfect.
202
And then at the end,
203
teacher, teacher, paper, paper, water, water.
204
And when you said water, I hope you were using that flap T.
205
Just like before, I think
206
when this.. comes at the end of a word is really the distinction between the US accent
207
and other English varieties because in other varieties it may get dropped here is the tongue twister
208
that I want to practice the nurse heard the early bird
209
search for the worm of course the sentence doesn't make much sense it doesn't really matter we're just focusing on
210
that er sound I want you to shadow say it with me one time slowly.
211
The nurse heard the early bird search for the worm. At a normal speed.
212
The nurse heard the early bird search for the worm.
213
Great job.
214
Now I want to add one thing to this
215
which makes this sound well more challenging when it's combined with a dark L.
216
So when you have the ER
217
and it's followed by a dark L I quite often hear learners tell me
218
that this is these are words that I struggle with
219
when you have words like world or girl or world
220
and what I would recommend is that now you know how to make
221
that er sound just slow it down and transition into that dark L that
222
Earl I want you to say this with me URL
223
now repeat these words after me
224
girl girl curl curl world
225
world these combinations can certainly be tricky
226
so let's practice with another tongue twister the third girl in
227
the world found a pearl of curls tucked inside a purple curl okay yeah it doesn't make any sense
228
but we're just practicing that
229
Earl combination
230
so shadow say it with me slowly the third girl in
231
the world found a swirl of pearls tucked inside a purple curl you have a lot of those
232
Earl sounds let's shadow say
233
it more at a normal speed ready the third girl in
234
the world found a swirl of pearls tucked inside a purple curl all right
235
if you struggle with that combination
236
that earl sound this is a great tongue twister to practice let's move on to our next sound
237
which is the th actually there are two sounds
238
and I will explain why because you could have a voiceless th sound
239
and a voiced th sound the only difference is whether
240
or not there's a vibration in your vocal cords
241
now the position of your tongue in your mouth is it's really the same whether it's voiced
242
or voiceless and the tip of your tongue is going to lightly come between your top
243
and bottom front teeth actually the tip is going to extend just beyond your front teeth your mouth your lips
244
it's just going to be relaxed
245
and there's going to be a continuous flow of air just coming right over your tongue
246
and you're making this sound that would be the voiceless sound
247
that think about where your tongue is just slightly beyond the top
248
and bottom front teeth if I want to make that voice sound that the
249
only difference is
250
that vibration in the vocal cords let's practice the voiceless th
251
with the following words just repeat after me think think Thursday Thursday
252
three three when the th is in the middle of the word nothing nothing method method
253
author, author.
254
And then when the TH is at the end,
255
math, math, with, with, month, month.
256
When practicing these individual words, I'm really trying to choose words that are quite common in just everyday conversation.
257
Let's practice the voiced TH.
258
And remember, you're then feel that vibration in your vocal cords.
259
Repeat after me.
260
The, the.
261
This, this.
262
They, they.
263
When it's in the middle, father, father.
264
Weather, weather.
265
Other, other.
266
And then at the end of the word.
267
Smooth.
268
Smooth.
269
breathe breathe loathe loathe two things that I want you to avoid
270
when it comes to the TH sound
271
so I don't want you to turn the TH into either a D
272
or T sound you're not gonna say dem it's them
273
you're not gonna say tink it's think I also don't want you to turn it into a or sound
274
so instead of sink think the you really need to think
275
about where your tongue is in your mouth having the air flow right over the tongue
276
and then consider whether you're making a voice th
277
or a voiceless th let's practice with some tongue twisters if we're focusing on the voiceless TH,
278
then we could say 33 ,000 feathers in my throat.
279
Let's shadow, say it slowly.
280
33 ,000 feathers in my throat.
281
At a normal speed, 33 ,000 feathers in my throat.
282
If focusing on the voiced TH, their mother and father prefer this smooth weather.
283
Let's shadow, say it slowly.
284
Their mother and father prefer this smooth weather.
285
At a normal speed, their mother and father prefer this smooth weather.
286
And then if we want to mix them together, voiced and voiceless, 33 thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.
287
Let's say it slowly.
288
33 thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.
289
At a normal speed, 33 thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout thursday as you're saying
290
that last tongue twister you should really feel your tongue kind of shooting between your top
291
and bottom front teeth you're doing great i got one more sound for you
292
and for the most part we've talked about consonant sounds
293
so let's talk about a vowel sound
294
and i want to talk about the american short a sound
295
the short a is one of the most distinct open vowel sounds in general American English
296
it is a front low unrounded vowel
297
so let's make this sound your mouth is gonna be fairly wide open
298
you're gonna drop your jaw your tongue is gonna be low
299
and toward the front of your mouth
300
and then your lips are gonna be relaxed phonetically speaking it's pretty much the same sound
301
that a sheep would make that bah bah just say that
302
Now, let's practice with some individual words.
303
Repeat after me.
304
Bad, bad.
305
Man, man.
306
Back, back.
307
Bag, bag.
308
fast fast now I have a couple of tongue twisters for you again
309
that a sound that's what we're focusing on here's a fun one a fat cat sat on a mat
310
and ate a fat rat let's say it slowly shadow a fat cat sat on a mat
311
and ate a fat rat and And now, at a normal speed, a fat cat sat on a mat and ate a fat rat.
312
Here's the next tongue twister, Dan's dad had a bad habit of packing a black backpack with apples and snacks.
313
Let's say it slowly,
314
Dan's dad had a bad habit of packing a black backpack with apples and snacks at a normal speed
315
Dan's dad had a bad habit of plat okay I can't
316
I'm having trouble with this okay let's start over I apologize at a normal speed
317
Dan's dad had a bad habit of packing a black backpack with apples
318

319
and practice all five of those sounds with one of the different tongue twisters
320
and again we're practicing to develop that muscle memory, but this time I want to say it quickly and challenge you.
321
So let's go back and begin with the flat T and say Betty Botter.
322

323

Pronúncia para ficar de olho
O falante usa 69 contrações e formas reduzidas, como gonna, you're, I'm. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.
- Os sons de “th”: thief /ˈθiːf/, smooth /smuːð/, throne /θɹəʊ̯n/, thrill /θɹɪl/, throat /ˈθɹoʊt/
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, vibration /vaɪˈbɹeɪʃən/, transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, distinction /dɪˈstɪŋkʃən/, casual /ˈkæʒ(u)əl/
- Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: apologize /əˈpɑləˌd͡ʒaɪz/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, continuous /kənˈtɪn.juː.əs/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/, combinations /kɑmbɪˈneɪʃənz/
Sons difíceis para falantes de português:
- Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: accent /ækˈsɛnt/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, snack /snæk/, backpack /ˈbæk.pæk/, lip /lɪp/
- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: curl /kɜɹl/, vocal /ˈvoʊ̯.kəl/, thrill /θɹɪl/, earl /ɝl/, pearl /pɝl/
- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, wherever /(h)wɛɹˈɛvɚ/
Como praticar com este vídeo
- Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
- Faça shadowing frase por frase na velocidade normal, repetindo cada uma até o seu ritmo ficar igual ao do falante.
- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como butter, batter, bitter.
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.
