Let's talk about the American accent.

And the very first thing I want to say is that, you know, when it comes to English and your speaking fluency,

you should not feel as though you need to speak with any particular accent, whether it's the US, Australia, the UK.

The most important thing is that people understand what you're saying.

Now, that being said, I know there are people who live in the US and English is their second language, or they're getting ready to visit the US,

or they just like the American accent.

And if that's the case, then this lesson is for you.

I really just want to talk about why the accent sounds the way that it does, and really dive deep.

You're talking about connected speech and a variety of things, if this is one of your speaking goals.

So I want you to, well, I was going to say something.

Let's look at the dialogue.

But if this is something that you enjoy, you can please subscribe, turn on notifications.

That way I can become your teacher and teach you more about accent, pronunciation, vocabulary, as well as grammar.

My name is Wes.

The channel is Interactive English.

And that is what it's all about.

So let's just look.

This is the dialogue that we're going to go through.

And I want to read it right now.

And then we're going to go through each part.

And I'm going to talk about what's going on.

We're going to practice.

I want you to practice and say these sentences with me say it out loud

and just get some speaking practice today and

Afterwards we're gonna say this dialogue together and and we're gonna practice it together

So let me go through

and I'm just gonna say it right now You can hear my pronunciation

and the way that I'm saying these different sentences So it starts out.

So what are you gonna work on next year?

I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off Yeah, it's hard to stay consistent, especially when life gets in the way.

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

Simple enough.

I feel like if you hear me say this, or if you were to hear this dialogue on a TV show, you would understand it.

It's not super difficult.

There is one phrase that I would like to point out, even though I think many of you may already know it.

But before, as we get into this, with each sentence, one thing I want you to keep in mind,

because when it comes to not even just accent but just your speaking in general,

English is a stress time language and this is what helps give it that rhythm and flow.

So essentially it means that the stressed words

or syllables are said at approximately the same length and then the words that come in between often get reduced.

And I am going to point this out as we go through this

and it also is kind of what makes the language sound like a song a little sing song

so i could even ask this question what did you do last night

and you can hear the way that i'm talking

and it sounds a little like a song what did you

do last night i could also clap with those stresses what did you do last night

and the idea is that again those those intervals come at regular, regular intervals.

It's going to give that rhythm and flow.

And even if you took out everything and you just had what do night, you kind of get the idea of what, what somebody is trying to say.

So as we go through this, I want you to keep that in mind.

And as you practice with me, I want you to try to maintain the same pace.

That's important.

The other thing that's important, which I wanted to point out is if you would like to join my speaking course, Check out the link down below in the description.

This is for intermediate to advanced speakers

And it's all about helping you speak confidently speak clearly

and speak naturally at the beginning of each lesson We talk

a little bit about connected speech different parts of the American accent

That is more the warm-up

and then we dive into the topic look at vocabulary do

different engaging speaking activities role plays debates little mini presentations so

if this is something that you're interested in please check out

that link down below

and I would like I look forward to speaking with you soon here is the first question

so what are you gonna work on next year

and I'm trying to go ahead and say it with

that melody let's listen for it

if I were to make it sound a little more like a song

so what are you gonna do next year

but in general here would be the claps like

so what are you gonna work on next year Not what are you going to do next year?

What are you going to work on next year?

And even if I speed it up, I'm still maintaining that stress timing.

What are you going to work on next year?

So let's look at what's going on and I want you to practice with me.

Okay.

So really, I trust, I trust that you are going to say these sentences with me and shadow, try to say them at the same time.

The first thing, what are, looks like there's a lot going on, but really what I want to point out is remember that the question, what, that vowel sound is,

it's more of a schwa sound.

I know you may find different, if you look on at the IPA may slightly, but I really do think it's more of an unstressed vowel sound.

Just sounds like, uh, what now you hear that soft D because that final T, I'm gonna pronounce it as a flap T

and this is a distinct part of the American accent It often occurs

when the T comes between two vowel sounds even though it's

at the end of the word the next word R begins with a vowel sound so I'm gonna

pronounce it as a flap T and then I'm gonna link it

with the vowel sound in R and this is

when we link the final consonant sound of one word with the beginning vowel sound of the next word so

So what are, instead of pronouncing the individual words, I am just going to say what are, what are, what are.

Say it with me, what are.

It sounds a little weird if I, if just I, I just like we're saying it together like one word but just give it a try.

What are, what are.

What are you going to is often reduced to gonna.

I think many of you probably are using this already Probably the most common reduction in English.

What are you gonna?

Work on again.

We're gonna move that consonant sound over at least.

That's what it sounds like and work on

Next year the other the last thing I want to say and you could see it talking about assimilation next year

That T and Y, it's like they blend together.

100

Now I know assimilation is when you basically have two sounds and one becomes more like the next.

101

I think in its simplest terms, I just say like they're blending together.

102

So it's like that T and Y gives you a slight CH sound.

103

This is not something that you have to force.

104

It's not something you're always going to hear.

105

People may pronounce those individual words, but as you're transitioning from one sound to the next, you could hear that slight CH.

106

next year next year I'm emphasizing it a little bit right now

107

but if I were to put all this together this is what it's gonna sound like

108

and this is what I want to practice I've given you the phonetic spelling

109

so you can see the pronunciation if it's

110

if it's easier for you just to look at the actual words please go ahead

111

and do that but let's practice saying it right now say I'll say it slowly

112

so what are you gonna work on next year what are you gonna work on next year?

113

I want you to say it with me right now.

114

Let's say it three times, one time slowly, and then two times at a more normal speed.

115

So slowly, ready?

116

So what are you going to work on next year?

117

Now a little that normal speed.

118

So what are you going to work on next year?

119

One more time together.

120

So what are you going to work on next year?

121

Okay, if you were practicing with me, let me know.

122

Write the word speaking in the comments, in the chat.

123

I'm going to do that with each of these lines.

124

So just let me know down in the chat, in the comments, if you are participating.

125

And I'm just, I'm not talking to myself right now.

126

I want to think that I'm talking to you.

127

Okay, the next sentence.

128

I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off.

129

So we talked about stress timing.

130

That comma, think about it, That's a pot.

131

There's a pause there.

132

So it's like we're gonna reset that that pattern I'm trying to get in shape or I'm trying to get in shape,

133

but I keep putting it off I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off.

134

I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off So let's talk about what's going excellent.

135

I'm glad.

136

Thank you.

137

Thank you for speaking with me

138

Ike Lolly to Kyo great to see you Manuel to lol welcome So I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off.

139

There's a lot going on here.

140

This may be a little challenging, but I think as we go through this, just one thing at a time, hopefully it makes sense.

141

The other thing I would say when it comes to connected speech and we do these practice lessons, even if this is not one of your goals, and that's perfectly fine, I told you,

142

you don't feel like you need to speak with any specific accent.

143

I do think it will help with your listening comprehension.

144

And which is also very important because if you're listening to a TV show, a podcast, you may hear, this is the way you may hear people speak,

145

especially people from the US, just like me.

146

So I'm trying a lot of times with verbs in the continuous tense, we're going to drop that G just get rid of it.

147

We don't need it.

148

It just makes the, it just makes it's easier to say instead of it's easier just to say in.

149

So instead of trying, I'm going to say, try it.

150

I'm trying to...

151

So, to is one of those words that is often reduced.

152

It's a function word, which means it's not really going to be stressed.

153

And when it's reduced, that vowel sound may change slightly.

154

So instead of to, like I'm saying the number to, it's going to sound softer, more like it has that schwa sound, to, to, to.

155

I'm trying to get in.

156

Get in there's more linking and that final T

157

that is also a flap T

158

which is right right here I've written flap T plus linking for both those phrases get in as well as

159

but I But I so let's just say those get in

160

one more time get in and then the next phrase but I

161

but I We have that flap T plus linking and then down at the bottom.

162

This is where maybe it gets a little trickier So I mentioned G dropping already.

163

Get rid of that G.

164

So instead of putting, I'm going to say putting.

165

Now this is where, this is where we get into the weeds a little bit.

166

So the T, the two T's in putting, when they come between two vowel sounds, it's going to sound like a flap T.

167

If you want to say putting and it's easier for you, that's perfect.

168

There's no problem.

169

That's also the American accent because we're using that flap T.

170

But if we drop that G, it's going to change from a flap T to a glottal stop.

171

And the sound is coming from your throat when you have a T sound followed by an N.

172

And there are many words that I could show you examples.

173

Think of the word kitten, kitten.

174

You hear that coming from your throat, that glottal stop.

175

And to give you another, if you're trying to think about, well, how do you say this glottal T?

176

If you make a mistake and somebody says, uh-oh, uh-oh, put your finger down here and say it, uh-oh.

177

Between the uh and the o, your glottis is closing, it's blocking the flow of air, and that is a glottal stop.

178

So this time it's like we're swallowing the T, puttin, puttin, puttin.

179

All right, give it a try.

180

I know it may seem a little weird.

181

Puttin, puttin, puttin.

182

Whether you want to say putting with the flap T or putting with the glottal stop, either one works.

183

But we are going to link that last phrase, it off, putting it off, putting it off.

184

That T in it, once again, you're going to hear me pronounce it as a flap T and we're going to link it with off, putting it off, putting it off.

185

Maybe if I say it again and again, you kind of start to register, but you can say it with me.

186

Just try that last final phrase down there, putting it off, putting it off, putting it off.

187

I could probably sit here for an hour and just keep saying, putting it off, putting it off.

188

So let's, let's, let's practice this sentence.

189

I know there's a lot going on in here.

190

Um, so you can just listen and say it with me, or if it helps to look at that phonetic spelling and you could see the,

191

you know, what I'm actually saying.

192

I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off.

193

So let me, let's say it slowly three times again, shadow, say it with me.

194

And it's like we're, we're singing a song and keep in mind that pacing.

195

So let's say it slowly.

196

I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off now at a more normal speed.

197

Ready?

198

I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off.

199

Once more time, I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off.

200

All right.

201

I'm sure when you set it down, you sounded, it sounded just like me.

202

That was perfect.

203

Okay.

204

Again, if you're practicing, let me know, right speaking down in the comments and let's just keep speaking and speaking and speaking all the way through this dialogue.

205

The next, uh, the next sentence.

206

Yeah, it's hard to stay consistent, especially when life gets in the way.

207

Now, this is the phrase that I wanted to highlight

208

and talk about when life gets in the way is one that you may come across from time to time.

209

And all that means is that your your daily responsibilities or unexpected events,

210

they just prevent you from doing something that you may want to do or things that you need to do.

211

And it's like, yeah, you know, I understand life gets in the way.

212

It's another way of saying you're just you're busy.

213

Things are coming up and you're not always able to do the things that you want to do.

214

So let's look at what's happening with this one.

215

I know it's a couple comments.

216

Not easy.

217

Yes, I know.

218

I know it's not easy.

219

This is when you look at these simple sentences, we dive deep into what's happening.

220

But once again, it's good to practice, but also I think it does help with your listening comprehension.

221

So this one, this is a little, I think a little more simple, straightforward, not as much going on here.

222

So yeah, it's hard to stay consistent.

223

There's that reduction to stay, to stay, to stay.

224

Just try it, try it instead of saying to, try it with that to, to stay, to stay.

225

One more time, to stay.

226

We're just going to keep drill, drill, drill, to stay.

227

Yeah, it's hard to stay consistent.

228

I wanted to include the pronunciation of especially

229

because people have told me before this word can be a little tricky and it is a common one.

230

So I wanted to go ahead and give you both the phonetic spelling as well as the IPA pronunciation.

231

Just keep in mind the stress is on that second syllable, especially, especially.

232

And that third syllable has that schwa.

233

There's that unstressed vowel sound, especially, especially when life gets in the way.

234

There, we're going to link that phrase again, moving that consonant sound over to the vowel sound in N, gets in, gets in.

235

You can say it again.

236

Just say it after me, gets in, gets in, gets in.

237

One thing I will say, a lot of this is a little bit like a drill.

238

Just keep saying it again and again and again.

239

And basically the next time you're having a conversation, you'll just start linking these phrases.

240

You'll be using these reductions.

241

And over time, you're just going to develop that more natural way of speaking.

242

And essentially you'd be developing the American accent because that's what we're talking about.

243

So I told you not too much going,

244

not as much happening, but let's go ahead and say it one time slowly and then two times at a normal speed. So slowly.

245

Yeah, it's hard to stay consistent, especially when life gets in the way.

246

Let's say it at a normal speed.

247

Say it with me.

248

Yeah, it's hard to stay consistent, especially when life gets in the way.

249

One more time.

250

Yeah, it's hard to stay consistent, especially when life gets in the way.

251

I apologize because I realized I didn't talk about the stress timing, but if I were to clap, hopefully you can hear that melody.

252

The more I talk about it, you can kind of pick up on it.

253

Yeah, it's hard to stay consistent, especially when life gets in the way.

254

And as I say it, again, hopefully let your ears do all the work and you can pick up on that melody, on that stress timing.

255

Then we got to we got to we're moving to our final sentence.

256

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

257

So this is what I meant.

258

I meant to talk about the stress timing at the beginning.

259

Right now, I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

260

So each of those claps, that is my stressed word or syllable.

261

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

262

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

263

Whether I'm saying it slowly or fast, the stress timing doesn't change.

264

I'm just either saying it slowly, moving it farther apart, or condensing it and saying it much faster.

265

What is happening with this beautiful sentence right here?

266

So got to, we can reduce that to gotta.

267

This is another, I think, fairly common reduction to stick with it.

268

We're going to link that consonant sound over with it.

269

If I, if I, we're going to link that phrase as well.

270

Now you may be thinking to yourself, and this is something we haven't really like discussed.

271

You might be thinking, well, why is that T and it not getting linked with the vowel sound?

272

And if this is because it's a separate clause.

273

And basically when you hear me say it, I'm going to separate it into two different thought groups.

274

And there's going to be a short pause in between there, which is why I'm not linking it over.

275

So even if I move back here and just listen for that pause, I got to stick with it or I got to stick with it.

276

If I want this year to be a success, can you hear that pause between it and if I got to stick with it if I want this pause to be, if I want this pause,

277

okay, I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

278

So basically if I move the if statement to the front, then and you're going to use a comma.

279

If I have it come after the main clause, I'm not going to use a comma,

280

but speaking I still am going to make that pause.

281

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

282

So want, one thing to keep in mind with this word that NT.

283

NT a lot of times the T may allied

284

when it follows an sound think about words like internet or center or interactive You don't hear that sound

285

Want is also similar in and it allies you're really gonna remove it

286

If I say I wouldn't say what do you want me to do?

287

I would say what do you what do you want me to do?

288

What do you want me to do?

289

What do you want me to do again?

290

You don't really hear that T so So this case, it does elide even though the T and the TH,

291

the position is the same in your mouth.

292

So even if you're putting your tongue up behind your top front teeth, one, even with the N and the T and the TH, you're going to release into that, that voiced this sound.

293

It want this year to, there's that reduction with two, be a success.

294

The last thing that I want to talk about, I said with assimilation, you don't need to force it it will just occur naturally

295

and I think intrusion is the same way this is

296

when you add a slight sound generally between two vowel sounds

297

and it's going to be either a ya or a what sound

298

and that is what allows us to link

299

or connect these vowel sounds together be

300

so you hear a slight ya sound between them be a

301

success be a success let's practice I know I'm giving you a lot with this last sentence.

302

Let me say it one time and then you can practice with me and then I'll say it slowly.

303

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

304

So let's say it slowly, shadow, say it with me and then you can tell me whether you're actually doing this.

305

So let's say it slowly.

306

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

307

And when I say it slowly, I think you can hear that melody.

308

Let's say it again.

309

Shadow, say it with me, but at a normal speed.

310

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

311

One more time.

312

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

313

Perfect.

314

All right.

315

You sound like you're from maybe like the New York area, somewhere around there.

316

That's what I would say.

317

Okay.

318

Now that we've gone through

319

each sentence and we've dive deep if you

320

if you've been practicing once again let me know I want to write right speaking down in the comments

321

or hit a heart or a like button that way I know

322

that you're participating which is all which is really what all I all I want

323

and and just keep practicing and practicing

324

and practicing here is our dialogue I will say all of it now and then we're gonna say together.

325

I'll stay A, you say B, and then we'll switch.

326

Like we're having a conversation, which is true.

327

Well, we're about to.

328

So let me say all of it right now, and then we're going to practice together.

329

So what are you going to work on next year?

330

I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off.

331

Yeah, it's hard to stay consistent, especially when life gets in the way.

332

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

333

All right, are you ready?

334

Let's begin.

335

I will say A, and I just want you to say B, and we're going to have this conversation right now.

336

Are you ready?

337

I'll begin, and you say B.

338

Here we go.

339

So what are you going to work on next year?

340

Yeah, it's hard to stay consistent,

341

especially when life gets in the way. That was perfect.

342

Flawless.

343

Okay.

344

All right.

345

Excellent.

346

That's what I wanted to hear.

347

That's what I wanted to hear.

348

Now I want to switch you.

349

I want you to say A.

350

I am going to say B this time, and we're going to have this conversation.

351

So you can begin with A.

352

Ready?

353

Go.

354

I'm trying to get in shape, but I keep putting it off.

355

I got to stick with it if I want this year to be a success.

356

Well done.

357

All right.

358

We, we just rocked it.

359

And I know I've given you a lot and I know that as we've gone through this, like some of you had mentioned, it is a, it is challenging.

360

It can be difficult, but it's not, it's not something that you have to start using all of these different parts at the same time.

361

Start with some of the things that are more common.

362

For example, reductions like going to and using gonna.

363

Or I mentioned that to often reduce the sounds like to,

364

to stay consistent or to be a success.

365

And as you just keep repeating some of these phrases using that weaker to, then your brain is going to make that change already when you're having a conversation.

366

So I'm giving you a range of different things when it comes to the American accent.

367

And hopefully, hopefully if this is one of your goals, it is going to help you feel more comfortable and confident when you are speaking.

368

And even if it's not, I hope that it helps with your listening comprehension.

369

But if you enjoyed this lesson and learned something new or just enjoyed speaking with me, let me know by hitting that like button.

Gramática neste vídeo

As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:

Estrutura	No vídeo
Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora	I've given · I've written · have told
Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa	people who live · word, which means · there, which is
Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz	being said · are said · is often reduced
Possibilidade com “might / may” might/may + verbo — algo possível, mas não certo	may already know · may find · may pronounce

Pronúncia para ficar de olho

O falante usa 141 contrações e formas reduzidas, como I'm, we're, you're. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.

Os sons de “th”: rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, throat /ˈθɹoʊt/
Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, assimilation /əˌsɪməˈleɪʃən/, schwa /ʃwɑ/, comprehension /ˌkɑmpɹɪˈhɛnʃn̩/, intrusion /ɪnˈtɹuːʒən/
Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, assimilation /əˌsɪməˈleɪʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, interactive /ˌɪn.tɚˈæk.tɪv/, confidently /ˈkɑnfɪdəntli/

Sons difíceis para falantes de português:

Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: accent /ækˈsɛnt/, flap /flæp/, dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/, consonant /ˈkɑn.sə.nənt/, clap /klæp/
/l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: vowel /ˈvaʊ.əl/, glottal /ˈɡlɑ.təl/, syllable /ˈsɪl.ə.bəl/, drill /dɹɪl/, interval /ˈɪntɚvəl/
/h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: comprehension /ˌkɑmpɹɪˈhɛnʃn̩/, highlight /ˈhaɪˌlaɪt/

Como praticar com este vídeo

Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
Comece na velocidade 0,75×, faça shadowing frase por frase e volte à velocidade normal quando ficar fácil.
Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como vowel, accent, flap.

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.
