Создание урока...
1
In this short session, I'm going to help you train your ears to understand real, fast American English speech.
2
We're going to go over some reductions, some connected speech, we're going to go over some slang words,
3
some idioms, everything that will help you understand native speakers like myself when we're speaking quickly and casually in conversation.
4

5
Now, let's get started with the lesson.
6
Let's start out with some repeating and we're going to listen once.
7
Try to think of what I'm saying before you see the text on screen.
8
I'll say the phrase a second time with the text on screen
9
and then I want you to imitate my tone and my connected speech.
10
Let's get started.
11
I was going to text you back.
12
I was going to text you back.
13
Nice job.
14
Make sure you're repeating out loud, you're practicing this video in a space where you can do that.
15
The phrase is, I was going to text you back.
16
Now we tend to have connected speech here when we say text you, text you, text you, text you.
17
I was going to text you back.
18
So here you is sounding more like chew, text you back.
19
Go ahead and practice that one more time.
20
I was going to text you back.
21
What have you been up to?
22
What have you been up to?
23
Here, we're saying, what have you been up to?
24
Here, we're using the reduction, or when we write it, we're using the contraction to say, what have, what have, instead of, what have you been up to?
25
What have you been up to?
26
And sometimes when I say this quickly, you don't even hear the, what have, you hear just what you've been up to what have you been up to
27
so let's try it one more time go ahead and repeat what have you been up to
28
nice job that's a really common way to greet someone
29
and ask how they've been i don't know if it's worth it i don't know if it's worth it Here,
30
I don't know if it's worth it.
31
What could you be talking about here?
32
Maybe you're talking about you don't know
33
if something's worth the amount of money it is or the amount of effort it takes.
34
Whatever it might be, here we're changing I don't know to I don't know.
35
I don't know.
36
I don't know if it's worth it.
37
Let's try it one more time.
38
Go ahead and repeat.
39
I don't know if it's worth it.
40
Nice.
41
You gotta be kidding me.
42
You gotta be kidding me.
43
So this phrase, it's used when you're kind of frustrated or annoyed with a situation.
44
I actually say this all the time to my friends or to my husband.
45
Again, it's really kind of a negative phrase and it's used in a more casual, informal environment.
46
But here you say, you gotta, you gotta, instead of you have got to be kidding me.
47
I can't even say the whole phrase.
48
You have got to be kidding me.
49
I say, you gotta be kidding me.
50
You gotta.
51
So here again, more connected speech.
52
Go ahead and repeat.
53
You gotta be kidding me.
54
Nice.
55
If you repeated that out loud, you're definitely sounding more American in your English.
56
Let's move on to the next phrase.
57
I'm just trying to figure it out.
58
I'm just trying to figure it out.
59
Here, the main reduction that we hear is I'm just trying to, tryna, tryna.
60
Again, a lot of times in English, I'm sure you're very familiar with it, English speakers will say ta instead of to, and here it all comes into one word.
61
I'm just tryna, tryna, tryna.
62
So go ahead and practice that once more repeating.
63
I'm just trying to figure it out.
64
nice job let's move on to the next portion of this lesson let's go over a few natural English expressions
65
that I think are a little tricky for English learners
66
but they also just help you sound more natural
67
and speed up your English a bit the first one
68
that threw me off that threw me off we use this phrase just to say
69
that something was unexpected or super confusing to you it just you off.
70
The next phrase, running a little behind.
71
I'm running a little behind.
72
This means you're running a little late or behind the schedule that you had planned.
73
If you're at a restaurant and they say, sorry, your reservation is going to take a little bit longer.
74
We're running a little behind means behind schedule.
75
I'll keep you posted.
76
I'll keep you posted.
77
This phrase, it's super useful to say that you're going to keep someone updated on a situation or a project.
78
So you can use this in your personal life like I'll keep you posted on how this date goes
79
or at work I'll keep you posted on the project that's
80
not really my thing that's not really my thing this phrase
81
it means you're not really interested in something sports that's not really my thing
82
or you could say oh Chinese food that's not really my
83
thing meaning you're just not interested in it you don't typically like it
84
or enjoy it or you could say oh that's totally my thing this means
85
that this is something that really interests you and that you usually like or partake in.
86
I'm still getting the hang of it.
87
I'm still getting the hang of it.
88
If you say that you are getting the hang of something, it means you're getting used to it or you're getting good at it.
89
We use this phrase when we're talking about learning a new skill
90
or practicing something new at work or any sort of process that we're getting used to.
91
We're getting the hang of it.
92
Now, get your ears ready maybe get a pencil or get ready to type.
93
I'm going to say a phrase or a sentence in English, something that I would actually say in my everyday life.
94
And I want you to try to copy it down and figure out the words that I'm saying.
95
I'm going to say it three times and I'm going to make sure
96
that every time I say it maybe a little bit differently, maybe slightly.
97
It might sound similar, but I'll try to change it up
98
and then we'll put the text on screen and I'll say it slowly and explain anything that needs to be explained.
99
Are you ready?
100
Let's go.
101
She ended up backing out.
102
She ended up backing out.
103
She ended up backing out. Are you ready?
104
She ended up backing out.
105
If someone backs out, it means they canceled plans or they changed their mind on something last minute.
106
She ended up backing out.
107
I'm wiped out after today.
108
I'm wiped out after today.
109
I'm wiped out after today.
110
Pause if you need to.
111
Think about what I just said.
112
The phrase is wiped out.
113
I'm wiped out after today.
114
If you are wiped out, it's just an expression that means you are exhausted or very tired.
115
He totally brushed it off.
116
He totally brushed it off.
117
he totally brushed it off are you ready he totally brushed it off
118
if you brush something off it means you kind of just ignore it
119
or forget about it very casually so if someone says something rude to you
120
and you just say well I don't care you kind of
121
brush off their rude comment we're just hanging out tonight we're just hanging out tonight we're just hanging out tonight
122
the phrase the sentence here is we're just hanging out tonight
123
and it comes together really quickly we're just hanging out hang
124
in hanging out we're just hanging out tonight this just means you're just relaxing
125
or just you know having a casual time getting together as
126
friends nothing formal at all here are some shortened words
127
or some slang that i think you should know that will really help your ears listen to fast English.
128
The first one is app or apps.
129
You might already know this means an application on your phone or on your computer.
130
Sometimes we can say, do you want to get apps?
131
Meaning do you want to get appetizers at a restaurant for dinner?
132
So these would be the small plates that you kind of share together before the main dish of a meal.
133
Do you want to get apps or what app is that?
134
Meaning what application on your phone is it?
135
Sometimes in English we say pics instead of pictures you want
136
to go take some pics with your friends this just means take pictures usually on your phone
137
or on a camera have you ever heard someone say that's
138
legit do you think that's legit this is short for legitimate
139
so we use this as a way to say legitimate like
140
in a more formal sense like is this paper legit is
141
that document legit meaning is it real or
142
if you want to just kind of compliment someone sometimes it's slang to say oh that was
143
so legit like it was really good it was really well
144
done sometimes formally people will shorten conversation as convo like we
145
had a convo earlier about this it's just it can be used formally
146
or informally convo for conversation i see it a lot in
147
writing as well fam can be shortened for family you might
148
say to someone oh how's your fam doing my fam's doing
149
good it's used not in a really cool slang way
150
but just a shortened way to say family
151
so people my age especially men will say oh they're my bro that's my bro over there
152
that means their friend they could literally mean their brother
153
but i noticed that younger kids girls
154
and boys as a slang phrase is just kind of a goofy way of greeting each other
155
or you know saying like what are you doing they go bruh bruh
156
so bruh or bro can mean a lot of of different things here
157
but usually it just means friend or fa or like your family
158
or it can mean like what are you talking about bruh
159
in the uk they will say holiday for a vacation here in the united states we don't often use holiday
160
but we do say vacay instead of vacation
161
and finally one of my last shortened words on here is
162
comfy instead of comfortable are you comfy i'm comfy this is just a shortened way to say comfortable
163
and i think a lot of native english speakers don't even
164
realize this is the shortened version we just use this word
165
so often like that was
166
so comfy good job taking your english to the next level by training your ears with this lesson

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.
