Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, let's talk about the connected sounds in the short text
4
where you're complaining about the quality of the road in your town.
5
Let's take a look.
6
I live in a place where they care about bikes a lot.
7
I live in a, live in a.
8
So this i in in basically gets reduced, and the uh gets connected to in.
9
I live in a place where they care about bikes.
10
Care about bikes.
11
That T in about turns into a glottal stop.
12
Where they care about bikes a lot.
13
That T in lot also turns into a glottal stop because it's the end of the sentence.
14
I live in a place where they care about bikes a lot.
15
The roads are wide and flat and they're paved smooth.
16
The roads are wide and flat.
17
So here the road sir, we don't write apostrophe re but we do take out
18
that ah sound in our the roads are sir the roads are wide
19
and flat now here wide and Flat if I say
20
that really quickly you don't really hear any of the individual sounds in a Md
21
and gets reduced to a single nasal release release n.
22
Widen flat.
23
Widen flat.
24
Now if I slow down a little bit I'll say widen flat.
25
Widen flat.
26
Widen flat.
27
Widen flat.
28
So I have a little bit of a hint of that vowel but that D is definitely gone.
29
Widen flat and they're paved smooth. And there.
30
So now I'm starting a section of the sentence with and so I'll say the eh vowel there. And there.
31
I won't say the D though.
32
And they're paved smooth.
33
That D in paved gets reduced quite a bit before the S.
34
And they're paved smooth.
35
Paved smooth.
36
There's a lot of space on the side of the road.
37
There's a lot of.
38
There's a lot of space.
39
So a lot of, you can just think of it as combining into a lot of.
40
There's a lot of space.
41
There's a lot of space on the side of the road. On the. On the.
42
We connect the N and the TH. On the. On the.
43
My tongue goes between my teeth when I say on the instead of behind the teeth, which is what we normally do for an N sound.
44
On the side of the road.
45
Side the. Of the.
46
There's no v in of anymore.
47
Side the.
48
Side the road.
49
Space on the side of the road to ride your bike.
50
Road d-d-d.
51
The word to gets reduced right here very, very much.
52
Road to.
53
Road to ride your bike.
54
Now, ride your turns into ride j-er.
55
The vowel in your changes.
56
Ride j-er.
57
And the consonant y-er turns into a j-er after this d.
58
Ride your bike.
59
There's a lot of space on the side of the road to ride your bike.
60
The only thing I don't like.
61
The only, yonly.
62
I add a little yuh sound there.
63
The only.
64
The only thing I don't like.
65
Don't, don't like.
66
I have a glottal stop there for the T in don't.
67
If I say it really quickly, I could say don't like.
68
The only thing I don't like.
69
Don't like.
70
Don't like.
71
And in that case, there's no glottal stop or T.
72
It just goes don't like.
73
However, if you say this a little slower, it sounds strange, because we're used to hearing no glottal stop, no T, only in very fast speech.
74
So if you say don't like, don't like, and stretch it out and say it very slowly, it can sound a little bit strange.
75
The only thing I don't like, or don't like, the only thing I don't like is how many rocks and nails.
76
Rocks and nails.
77
So here we take off the D in and and reduce that first vowel.
78
Rocks and nails there are on the road.
79
Rocks and nails there are on the road.
80
Now here I'm stressing there are, there are.
81
I don't, the only thing I don't like is how many rocks and nails there are, there are on the road.
82
I can never connect this into there-er.
83
I can in other types of sentences, but in this sentence pattern, the only thing I don't like is how many blah blah blah there are.
84
The only thing I know is how many blah blah blah there are.
85
In this situation, I can never connect there-er.
86
The only thing I don't like is how many rocks and nails there are, there are, on the road.
87
On the road.
88
On the road.
89
Seriously, it's crazy.
90
There must be dozens of nails.
91
There must be dozens of nails. Must be.
92
There's no T there.
93
Must be turns into must be.
94
There must be dozens of nails along the roads.
95
Dozens of nails.
96
Now that of nails could be of nails or a nails.
97
You could reduce it and take out that v sound.
98
There must be dozens of nails along the roads I ride on.
99
The roads I ride on.
100
ZI.
101
Connect I to roads.
102
Along the roads I ride on.
103
I've gotten two flat tires.
104
I've gotten.
105
Gotten.
106
I've gotten.
107
There's a glottal stop there.
108
Gotten.
109
It's not a T.
110
It's not gotten.
111
It's gotten.
112
I've gotten two flat tires.
113
Flat tires.
114
The T in flat and the T in tires connects together.
115
I've gotten two flat tires in two months riding here.
116
Months is a difficult word for a lot of people to say.
117
All you need to do is take out the TH.
118
Months.
119
Months.
120
That's how we say it every day.
121
Months.
122
Two months riding here.
123
If you ride fast, if ya. If ya.
124
So here U turns into ya.
125
If you ride fast, there's no way to see the nails.
126
No way to, d, d.
127
That too, when it's used as part of a verb, reduces down to d.
128
There's no way to see the nails until it's too late.
129
Late.
130
We finally end with a glottal stop T.
131
Late normally ends with a T, but at the end of the sentence, we turn it into a glottal stop.
132
Too late.
133
If you like this kind lesson, remember I've got even longer and even more detailed pronunciation lessons
134
that break down all the different rules I've discovered in many years of research.
135
These lessons are available at the links below and in the comments.
136
I'll see you there.
137
All right, now I'll read the whole thing slowly but still with all the natural connected speech rules.
138
It sounds a little funny because these rules only ever happen in fast, natural speed speech, but you can still practice with the slower version.
139
After that, I'll read it at a normal speed.
140
There must be dozens of nails along the roads I ride on.
141
I've gotten two flat tires in two months riding here.
142
If you ride fast, there's no way to see the nails until it's too late.
143
Alright, here we go with normal speed.
144
I live in a place where they care about bikes a lot.
145
The roads are wide and flat and they're paved smooth.
146
There's a lot of space on the side of the road to ride your bike.
147
The only thing I don't like is how many rocks and nails there are on the road.
148
Seriously, it's crazy.
149
There must be dozens of nails along the roads I ride on.
150
I've gotten two flat tires in two months riding here.
151
If you ride fast, there's no way to see the nails until it's too late.

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.
