1
When you're speaking English, if people are constantly saying, What?
2
Huh?
3
What'd you say?
4
Could you repeat that?
5
I didn't understand you.
6
Or they look confused when you're speaking,
7
then I know that you're probably not feeling very confident in your English speaking skills.
8
So the question is, how much of your native language shows up in the way you speak English?
9
I teach intermediate to advanced non-native speakers of English,
10
how to sound more natural speaking American English. And
11
so much of it has to do with finding a totally
12
different voice than the voice they use to speak their own native language.

14
The Top Three Ways to Master the American Accent.
15
It will blow your mind.
16
It will give you totally new ideas on how to get the sound you've always wanted.
17
The American accent is not about fitting the sounds of American English into your native language.
18
It's about developing a completely different way of speaking from the bottom up,
19
the way a baby learns a language.
20
For you, what's the biggest thing standing between you and the way you want to speak English?
21
What's the gap?
22
That's a question I put out on my YouTube channel a while back,
23
and today I want to feature Patinya and show her
24
and all of you one pretty simple trick that solves one of the big issues in developing the American accent.
25
Hello, my name is Patinya.
26
My friend called me Tiki.
27
I am from Thailand and my native language is Thai.
28
My biggest problem in English is like my native language is they don't have a connected speech.
29
So when I speak English it's not connected.
30
She's exactly right.
31
If I was working with her in a live class,
32
which is something I do once a month with my students in Rachel's English Academy,
33
that's probably the first thing I would have chosen to work on with her.
34
Each of her words is separate.
35
That's not what we want in an American accent.
36
That's not what we want in an American accent.
37
That's not what we want in an American accent.
38
Do you hear that smooth connecting?
39
In this video, you'll see me working with students in Rachel's English Academy.
40
Rachel's English Academy is absolutely hands down the best place to improve your American accent and English speaking skills.
41
Over 50,000 students from all over the world,
42
in every profession you can think of,
43
and of nearly every native language out there,
44
have fundamentally changed the way they speak English and enjoyed the life that opened up for them.
45

47
I'm accepting new students right now and I would love to have you as a student.
48
Sometimes when I speak it's cut cut cut cut like a dump.
49
That's not what we want in an American accent.
50
Very different from each word being choppy and having a feeling of separateness from the rest of the sentence.
51
I call that choppy speech and it's the exact opposite of the smooth speech that sounds natural in American English.
52
There are a couple of different ways to work on this,
53
and today we'll focus on the one that gets the quickest results.
54
This is linking consonant to vowel.
55
That would be one word ends in a consonant,
56
and the next word begins with a vowel.
57
For example, in a.
58
In a minute.
59
In a day.
60
In a while.
61
In a week.
62
In a month.
63
The trick is you think of the consonant beginning the second word.
64
So that would be in na.
65
Na.
66
Na.
67
Now link them together. In Inna.
68
Link them slowly, really focusing on that N.
69
Do this out loud with me.
70
Inna.
71
Na.
72
Na.
73
Inna.
74
Inna.
75
Inna.
76
It's like one two-syllable word, not two one-syllable words.
77
In a minute.
78
In a rush.
79
In a sec.
80
In a while.
81
Now you do it and repeat each part with me again.
82
In a, na, na, na.
83
In a, in a, in a, in a, in a.
84
Repeat out loud.
85
In a day, in a day.
86
In a while, in a while. In a sec.
87
In a sec.
88
In a week.
89
In a week.
90
I'm Rachel, and I've been helping non-native speakers of English with their English-speaking skills for over 20 years.
91
My background is in opera singing,
92
and my passion and my speciality is helping you get the American accent that you've always wanted.
93
Your speaking skills shouldn't be holding you back from your dreams.
94
Scan this QR code
95
or follow the link in the video description to get my cheat sheet for the sounds of American English.
96
It's a great reference guide for the mouth positions of all of the sounds and it's yours free.
97
Now, let's do a phrase where there are two consonant to vowel links in a row.
98
Work as a.
99
We have an ending K linking into as.
100
And now in this sentence,
101
we're actually going to pronounce AS like IS.
102
This is called a reduction,
103
changing or dropping a sound,
104
but that's a topic for another video.
105
Let's stay focused on linking consonant to vowel.
106
The ending K of WORK links into AS and it becomes cuz, cuz, cuz.
107
Like K sound, is, cuz, cuz. WERE, cuz.
108
Now here we can't hold out the linking consonant.
109
When we were working on in-uh,
110
we could hold out that N.
111
That's a sound that can be as long as you have breath.
112
In-uh.
113
But the K sound is not that way.
114
K, k, k.
115
It's made with a stop of air and a release,
116
so there's no holding it out.
117
Work-as, ks.
118
Work-as.
119
Work-as.
120
So we're going to take it off of were and we're going to attach it to is. Were.
121
Cause.
122
Work is.
123
Work is.
124
Now do it with no break,
125
but keep that K connected.
126
Work is.
127
Work is.
128
Repeat out loud after me.
129
Work is.
130
Work is.
131
Now the ending Z of as links into the article uh, z, z.
132
Were, kuh, z.
133
Linking ending consonant to beginning vowel.
134
Do that with me.
135
Work-a-z.
136
Work-a-z.
137
Work-a-z.
138
Work-a-z.
139
Work-a-z.
140
Work-a-z.
141
That smoothness that we get through the linking is what we're always after in American English,
142
not choppy, separated words.
143
Work as a.
144
Work as a.
145
Work as a.
146
The phrase work as a,
147
I work as a, is a phrase that I got from working with a student in Rachel's English Academy.
148
Before this, she'd been too careful.
149
Her words were overpronounced, a little separated.
150
So we worked together using something called the play it say it method
151
which is what all the audio training in my courses is
152
based on the idea is you don't think you just repeat over
153
and over with the native speaker and your body starts to hear it differently and make little adjustments to match better
154
here's a clip from
155
that class now we're gonna do play it say it i'm
156
gonna say it you repeat it i say it you repeat
157
it a lot of times in a row I work as
158
a work as a I work as a I work as
159
a work as I work as a I work as a
160
I work as a I work as a I work as
161
a I work as a I work as a I work
162
as a I work as a I work as a I
163
work as I work as a I work as a yeah okay good I started to like
164
that in the middle it seemed like you maybe your mind like you were doing an awesome job,
165
very purely imitating.
166
Then I felt like something in your mind said,
167
oh my gosh, I need to think about my W.
168
And then the word work felt a little bit long.
169
Did I get it?
170
Was that what it was?
171
I heard that and it made your imitation less good, which is surprising.
172
You know, we think, well,
173
we know our problems, so let's think about our problems and figure it out.
174
But I actually think knowing our problems,
175
like you probably got that feedback from Laura or from another teacher.
176
Knowing our problems shows us where to work.
177
And you know, you watch the video and you learn,
178
but it really shouldn't be part of what we do when we're practicing like the play it,
179
say it method.
180
At that point, we don't really want to think about what we think our problems are
181
and what we need to focus on.
182
At that point, we just do the play it, say it.
183
And honestly, that takes care of things.
184
The more purely you can imitate,
185
the more you'll be able to relax and match the qualities of the linking we want to hear.
186
I work as a life coach.
187
But my husband and I work as a team.
188
I work as a recruiter.
189
And I work as a janitor.
190
I work as a social worker with addicts at an Austin hospital.
191
Beauty parlor where I work as a shampoo technician.
192
I work as a decorator.
193
Yeah, I work as a mechanic.
194
Here's another example.
195
American English.
196
American English.
197
We want to take the N in American and attach it to the beginning vowel of English.
198
Nnnnglish.
199
Do that with me.
200
Nnnnglish.
201
Nnnnglish.
202
American English.
203
It helps to do it really slowly so you can feel
204
that link and get comfortable with that before you start speeding it up.
205
American English.
206
American English.
207
American English.
208
Here, I'm working with a student whose native language is Vietnamese.
209
So I said American-ing.
210
I took the N and I linked it right into the vowel and you wanted to put a break.
211
American English.
212
We don't need breaks between words.
213
We don't want breaks between words.
214
Can you take the N and connect it with the continuous sound?
215
American English.
216
English.
217
Yes, American English.
218
Yes, there we go.
219
That's a link.
220
And that's what we want all the time.
221
Now let's take a few more phrases and I want you to practice out loud.
222
See if linking this way feels natural or totally unnatural.
223
The goal is to link all your words together
224
and have it feel so natural that you don't even have to think about it.
225
That's the kind of habit you can build with the audio training in Rachel's English Academy.
226
Let's get started.
227
All alone.
228
All alone.
229
All alone.
230
Aska.
231
Aska.
232
Aska. at 8
233
bad idea big eyes
234
close it far away
235
give each
236
Up above.
237
What I.
238
How's it feeling?

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?
Quando se trata de falar inglês com confiança, reconhecer áreas de melhoria é crucial. Este vídeo oferece uma oportunidade única para você aprender a se comunicar de forma mais natural no inglês americano. Ao observar e praticar o que é ensinado, você não apenas melhora sua pronúncia, mas também desenvolve uma fluência que pode impressionar seus ouvintes. O método de shadowing em inglês pode ser uma ótima técnica aqui, onde você repete o que ouve, ajudando a formar novos padrões de fala em seu cérebro. Quando você consegue se expressar sem que os outros peçam constantemente para repetir, sua confiança aumenta e sua habilidade de comunicação se transforma.
Gramática e Expressões em Contexto
Durante o vídeo, várias estruturas e expressões se destacam. Vamos analisar algumas:
- “What’s the gap?” - Frase que incita reflexão sobre sua própria aprendizagem e ajuda a identificar barreiras.
- “This is not what we want in an American accent.” - Uma observação que enfatiza a necessidade de conexão na fala.
- “I teach intermediate to advanced non-native speakers.” - Uso de termos que situam um público específico, demonstrando a claretidade do ensino.
Dessas expressões, os alunos podem aprender como fazer perguntas reflexivas e estruturais, além de entender a importância da clareza na comunicação oral.
Erros Comuns de Pronúncia
O vídeo também revela armadilhas de pronúncia que você deve estar atento. Por exemplo, a dificuldade mencionada de conectar palavras resulta em uma fala interrompida, que é percebida como “cut cut cut”. Essa característica pode ser uma barreira significativa para um som mais natural. Aqui estão alguns pontos para focar:
- “Connected speech” - Um conceito vital para dominar, que envolve a fluidez e a ligação entre as palavras, algo que a shadow speech pode melhorar quando praticado regularmente.
- “Listen and repeat” - Focar na repetição precisa de sons e frases ajudará a quebrar velhos hábitos de pronúncia.
- “Smooth connections” - Tente minimizar as pausas entre palavras para mimetizar a forma como os falantes nativos se comunicam.
Implementar técnicas de shadow speak neste contexto pode ser extremamente benéfico. Ao praticar a cópia e a repetição de frases do vídeo, você estará, na verdade, “sombreamento” o inglês e aprimorando sua capacidade de falar sem hesitações. Explore o shadowspeaks para se aprofundar ainda mais nesse método eficaz.
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.
