If your goal is to sound more natural in American English pronunciation,

then one of the best things you can do is to look at the techniques

that native speakers are using and start applying it to your own speech.

And that's what we are about to do in this episode of Say It Native.

My name is Jeff.

It rhymes with breath, which is one of the four key concepts to achieving a more natural sound in American English.

Today, I'm going to give you five examples of things

that native speakers are doing that often English language learners are not doing.

We're going to be doing this through a series of clips.

As we do this, be sure to let me know any questions

that you have about American English pronunciation or even some things

that you noticed that maybe we're not going to touch on directly.

Let's take a look at our first clip here.

I haven't seen this book in a long time.

Play that again.

Take a guess at what I'm going to say about the pronunciation feature here.

I haven't seen this book in a long time.

Seen, and she says this, but how does she actually join those words together?

If you're listening for that heavy TH sound in this, you might be a little disappointed.

Pay attention to how she links the words.

I haven't seen this book in a long time.

She's not really saying seen this.

She's really saying more seen this.

I haven't seen this book.

This is a very common situation when you have a word that ends on an N sound,

like seen, and then your next word starts with a TH.

Very, very frequently what happens is that N sound gets repeated and that TH sound gets weakened, or it may even just disappear completely.

I haven't seen this book in a long time.

seen this becomes seen this.

I haven't seen this book.

This is especially true when that th word is reduced.

You can see this in other examples like and then and things like that.

So see if you can start finding it in other examples of native speaker speech.

Maybe you already do this in your own speech.

You can let me know.

Let us know also too if you're checking in like Shoke is.

Hello to Shoke.

Thanks for stopping by, man.

It's always good to see you.

Let's take a look at our second clip.

Get an idea.

What do you think I'm going to say for this one here?

Okay, now we'll have a poem from Rameka.

I'm going to play that one more time.

See if you can guess what the pronunciation feature here is that we're going to target.

Okay, now we'll have a poem from Rameka.

She says, now we'll have, now we'll have.

This is the contraction.

And I want to highlight contractions because very often native speakers are using contractions.

I was just talking about this in our Mission English group earlier.

But a lot of times English learners are not.

They're saying things like there is instead of theirs or when are instead of when are.

In this case, the contraction is we will becoming will.

And now we'll have a poem from Ramika.

Desire, now we'll have, now we'll have.

Typically, the contracted part two is usually reduced.

It's a little bit weaker.

It's not as strong.

And these are all things you can do to achieve a more natural sound.

Listen again to how she says, and now we'll have a poem from Ramika.

I mean, no. What are some contractions that you use frequently in your own speech?

Or is this something that you don't use at all?

It would be great to hear about your frequency as well.

Shoke already mentioned that she uses the first feature.

That's cool.

We want to know what you guys are doing with your own English.

Let's get on to our third clip.

Get an idea here.

What is the technique that you can start applying immediately to your own speech to start sounding more natural in American English?

Take a look.

Just listening to Greg's.

Play that again.

Listen to how she says the word to.

I think just listening to Greg's.

Greg's.

Notice that instead of saying listening to, she actually says listening to,

listening to, like listening to you or listening to them, things like that.

So very often the word to does not actually sound like the word to.

In this case, it's getting reduced to to, like listening to, listening to music.

Another common reduction that you'll get with the to as well is instead of to, you may even hear that T become a fast D sound.

The D that's pronounced very quickly.

It's like listening to can also become listening to, listening to.

In this case, though, she keeps the T.

I think just listening to Greg's.

Keep takeaways.

Don't pronounce the ooh like ooh instead of listening to.

Very commonly, that's going to be reduced.

guys if you're already getting value from this there's a couple things that you can do

whether just liking the stream letting other people know about it

if they're interested in american english or

if you want to get this sort of analysis for your own speech

you're like hey let's not analyze native speakers let's see what i'm doing what am i doing in my speech

that doesn't let me sound natural well

we have a program called mission english where every single day for 30 minutes a day we meet two times

and we do pronunciation practice exercises together so

So it's you, me, it's a maximum of three other students on screen.

And we're just doing pronunciation exercises.

100

Kind of like today.

101

We listen to native speakers and then we try to copy them.

102

We do exercises.

103

So for instance, you can see today is Monday.

104

So we just had our 8 p .m session.

105

That's that 20 over on the left.

106

We're going to meet again at 930.

107

We meet also at like 1 .30 p .m.

108

So these are all the different times.

109

New York.

110

So you can see all different times.

111

We have morning, afternoon, and evening sessions.

112

Each one of these classes is 30 minutes.

113

And the best part is that you pay once

114

and you can come to as many classes during the month as you want.

115

All the classes are saved in the Facebook group too.

116

So if one class is particularly helpful, you can watch it again and again and again.

117

You can hear yourself.

118

You can hear the other students.

119

You can hear me and my feedback.

120

We'd love to work with you in Mission English.

121

Also because, I'm going to be honest with you guys, the things we focus on on this channel, placement, where you're projecting sound from,

122

breath, how much airflow you're going through, pitch, like are you going high enough in your English? or you're also going low enough.

123

And then lastly, trying to strengthen your vowel sounds, weaken your consonant sounds.

124

There is no other English program out there that is targeting those things.

125

So you're still going to have an accent if you're just focusing on mouth position.

126

We talk about the things that actually give you a natural sound.

127

So that would be great to work with you in our Mission English program.

128

To find out more information about this, see our schedule and things like that, go to fluentamerican .com, which is right there.

129

But let's go on to our last couple clips here.

130

What am I going to say about this file?

131

But also holding myself accountable to what I've birthed.

132

Listen again to how you hear the word to once more.

133

But also holding myself accountable to what I've birthed.

134

What you're going to notice is he pauses.

135

I know pauses have such a horrible reputation when we're learning a language, but native speakers pause all the time,

136

but they do it in a way that sounds natural.

137

So this is one technique that you can start applying to your speech to also sound natural is firstly, when you enter your pause,

138

try to extend your breath a little bit.

139

Listen to how he says to the first time.

140

But also hold myself accountable to what I've birthed.

141

You can hear he drags out the sound and he also keeps the breath flowing.

142

So when you enter a pause in your own speech,

143

try to hold the sound a little longer and try to keep that air flowing a little longer, too.

144

That's going to give you a more natural pause.

145

Then how do you exit the pause?

146

Take a look at what he does.

147

I'm also holding myself accountable to what I've birthed.

148

The second time he says, too, the pitch is a little bit different.

149

And it's also said a little bit faster.

150

This is another technique as well that you can use when you pause is that when you pause, try repeating the word that you paused on.

151

It's like to do this.

152

Why left?

153

You're coming.

154

So notice that again, one way to make your pauses more natural, just repeat that last word you say and change the pitch a little bit.

155

And that will immediately give it a more natural feel.

156

I have one last tip for you guys

157

if you're getting value here's one way

158

you can help me out like what you're hearing let us know by liking

159

and subscribe let us take listen to our last file here i mean

160

i was really fast we're gonna play that again what did you say i mean

161

this is a super common it's not really a filler word it's just a common a very common expression

162

that you're going to hear native speakers use when you're seeking agreement from someone else you

163

We want to make sure that everyone else is on the same page as you.

164

You know what I mean?

165

You know what I mean?

166

You know what I mean?

167

He's not saying, you know what I mean, or you know what I mean.

168

You know what I mean?

169

You know what I mean?

170

You know what I mean?

171

It's just vowel sounds.

172

And this kind of highlights one of the features of American English where we really want to weaken consonant sounds.

173

It's not, you know what I mean.

174

It's, you know what I mean?

175

You really just hear the vowel sounds taking over, and this is going to give you a much more natural sound.

176

The other thing you're going to notice too is that because this is just a phrase,

177

it doesn't have a whole lot of meaning on its own.

178

It's really more of just trying to, again, get agreement from someone or to kind of just show that you're on the same page as them.

179

So there's not really a lot of meaning here.

180

So what often happens is the pitch is going to be pretty low.

181

You know what I mean?

182

The pitch is going to be pretty low.

183

You know what I mean?

184

Do you see how the pitch just went down when I said it?

185

So this is a way that's going to help you achieve a more natural sound as well.

186

Let's listen to that one more time.

187

You know what I mean?

188

Great.

189

So those are five quick things that you can immediately start applying to your own English.

190

Let me know how that goes.

191

Let me know which of these is easiest, which one of these is hardest.

192

And we'll get back into our American English pronunciation journey.

193

Once more, my name is Jeff.

194

It rhymes with breath.

195

If you want to get this level of analysis for your own speech every single day of the week,

196

we can do that in our Mission English program.

197

I'd love to work with you.

198

You can find out more information at fluentamerican .com.

199

Thank you guys so much for your time.

200

Have a good day.

201

Have a good night.

202

Good afternoon.

203

Take care.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
