Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, let's look at the connected sounds in a short answer
4
where you're saying what you tried for the first time at a restaurant.
5
Let's take a look.
6
It seems crazy now.
7
It seems crazy.
8
So here the T will turn into a glottal stop.
9
It seems.
10
It seems crazy.
11
At the beginning of the sentence, the whole word it, because it's such a short
12
and common word gets reduced quite a lot and it blends with the next word.
13
It seems, it seems crazy, it seems crazy now, it seems crazy now, but I was already in college,
14
but I, we tap that t in but, but I was, was.
15
We reduce that uh in was, and that's just a very short quick uh sound.
16
But I was already in college.
17
Connect the in with the sound in college.
18
But I was already in college, already in college, the first time I had boba.
19
The first time.
20
The first time I had boba.
21
So here the two T sounds in first time connect.
22
The first time I had boba.
23
I'd never heard of it.
24
I'd never.
25
So we're going to put that D and the N together, and it's called a nasal release.
26
It's the N coming out of your nose as your tongue is saying D.
27
I'd nn.
28
I'd never.
29
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
30
Heard of it at all.
31
We're going to connect all of these short words here.
32
Of it at all.
33
The word at gets kind of reduced to something sounding quite a lot like the word It.
34
Heard of it at all.
35
Heard of it at all.
36
Heard of it at all.
37
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
38
When nigh connect the nuh to the i sound, and was also gets that same reduced vowel.
39
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
40
The city I grew up in didn't have, didn't have.
41
Glottal stop there with the T before the H.
42
Didn't have.
43
The city I grew up in didn't have much in the way.
44
Much in the.
45
So we connect the N and the TH together. In the.
46
Didn't have much in the way of Asian food or dessert places.
47
Asian food or dessert places.
48
Now here this word or I could choose to break up the sentence and add some emotion to it, Asian food or dessert places,
49
or I could link them together and I could say Asian food or dessert places.
50
If I link them together and I don't give any emotion to the sentence, or turns into er.
51
Asian food or dessert places, Asian food or dessert places.
52
So here, dessert, there's a glottal stop there for the t, dessert places, dessert places back then.
53
I remember being really surprised.
54
I remember.
55
So here, I remember.
56
That first syllable in remember gets kind of reduced or blended with I.
57
I remember.
58
I remember.
59
I remember.
60
I remember being really surprised.
61
Really is the reduced form of really, and most people use really in connected speech.
62
I remember being really, really surprised when I...
63
Surprised when I...
64
Connect that D and the W there.
65
Surprised when I...
66
It sounds kind of funny to connect it with no words around it.
67
Really surprised when...
68
Surprised when I tried boba.
69
Tried boba.
70
In the same way, we're going to connect D and B here.
71
Tried boba.
72
Tried boba.
73
Tried boba for the first time.
74
For turns into for.
75
Tried boba for the first time.
76
Connect the T and the T there again.
77
First time.
78
I was like.
79
I was like.
80
So here was connects to I, and the vowel in was gets reduced.
81
It's much shorter.
82
I was like, I was like, I was like, do you eat these little pearls? Do you? Do you?
83
So here, d is the reduced form of do.
84
Do you eat becomes do you eat? Do you?
85
Do you eat?
86
Do you eat?
87
Do you eat these?
88
So we want to connect you and eat.
89
We do that with a little wha sound.
90
You, you eat, you eat these.
91
Then we take the tea in eat and turn that into a glottal stop.
92
Do you eat these little pearls?
93
Do you eat these little pearls?
94
Do you just only drink the tea?
95
Do you just, just, just, so just, the uh sound turns into something closer to I.
96
Just, just, do you just only drink the tea?
97
Also, the tea in just disappears in fast speech.
98
Do you just, do you just, do you just only drink the tea?
99
Only drink the tea?
100
What are you supposed to do?
101
What are you supposed to do?
102
So here, what are you turns into what are you?
103
What are you supposed to do?
104
Here, supposed, supposed drops that I from the first syllable.
105
Supposed becomes sposed.
106
What are you supposed to do?
107
Sposed.
108
Connect the D and the T here.
109
Supposed to.
110
And we reduce the vowel in two, but then we have the full vowel for do.
111
What are you supposed to do? To do.
112
What are you supposed to do?
113
In this video, I'll read the text twice.
114
First, with all the natural sound changes, but at a lower speed.
115
Then, at a normal speed with all the sound changes again.
116
Let me know in the comments which one you like.
117
Are you looking for a single course that explains all the connected speech rules, plus gives you thousands of sentences to practice with?
118
I've put together a full pronunciation course, focused exactly on how American English really sounds.
119
Believe me, this has been a huge amount of research on my end, and it's full of all the little details that they never tell you in textbooks.
120
All you have to do is follow along and let the repetition do the work.
121
I'll put the link in the description, but now let's get back to the video.
122
It seems crazy now, but I was already in college the first time I had boba.
123
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
124
The city I grew up in didn't have much in the way of Asian food or dessert places back then.
125
I remember being really surprised when I tried boba for the first time.
126
I was like, do you eat these little pearls?
127
Do you just only drink the tea?
128

129
It seems crazy now, but I was already in college the first time I had boba.

Почему стоит практиковать разговор с этим видео?

Практика разговорного английского является ключевым аспектом изучения языка, и это видео помогает развивать навыки произношения и понимания на практике. Ты будешь слышать реальные разговоры на английском языке и учиться правильно произносить слова и фразы в естественном контексте. Это даст возможность не только улучшить произношение английского, но и познакомиться с культурными аспектами, связанными с едой и ресторанами в американском обществе. Используя метод shadowspeak, ты сможешь легко повторять за диктором, что поможет закрепить материал и сделать речь более гибкой и естественной.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В этом видео Алекс выделяет несколько интересных грамматических конструкций и разговорных выражений:

  • Неправильное произношение коротких слов: В выражениях, таких как "it seems", слово "it" сокращается и сливается с последующим словом, что делает речь более плавной.
  • Слияние звуков: Зависимость от контекста — "the first time I had boba" демонстрирует, как две буквы «t» соединяются, создавая плавный переход.
  • Упрощение звуков: Фраза "I’d never heard of it" показывает, как «d» и «n» соединяются для образования носового звука, что облегчает произношение.

Эти структуры не только делают речь более естественной, но и помогают слушателям лучше воспринимать и запоминать информацию, что особенно важно при практике разговорного английского.

Распространенные трудности с произношением

Каждый, кто изучает английский, сталкивается с трудностями в произношении. В этом видео есть несколько слов и фраз, которые могут вызывать затруднения:

  • Glottal stops: Использование глоттального удара в словах, таких как "but", может быть непривычным для изучающих, так как в русском языке такой фонемы нет.
  • Слияние и редукция: Слова "at all" сливаются и звучат как "at all", что может сбивать с толку. Понимание этого поможет улучшить восприятие на слух.
  • Эмоциональная интонация: Умение передавать эмоции через интонацию, например, когда ты говоришь "Asian food or dessert places", тоже требует практики и внимания.

Используя технику shadowing, ты сможешь улучшить произношение английского языка, следуя за диктором и подстраиваясь под его интонации и акценты. Это не только сделает твой английский более естественным, но и поможет чувствовать себя более уверенно в разговоре.

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.
