Hey everyone, welcome to another video.
2
I hope you're having a great day today.
3
In this video, we will work on our listening and speaking skills at the same time.
4
Sounds good, doesn't it?
5
I know it does.
6
I already made a video like this one a long time ago
7
and you guys loved that it wasn't a detailed analysis but rather a brief explanation. For one,
8
this will help you start recognizing words in this continuous flow
9
of speech as there's no clear boundaries between words in normal natural speech words are linked together can be reduced
10
and sounds might be dropped
11
and second you'll eventually with proper training be able to speak this way yourself
12
if you'd like to
13
but the first step is to start distinguishing between words you need to hear them first
14
and to be able to do that you need to know how they link together
15
so that's what we're gonna do today our next example will be from how i met your mother
16
and buckle up for this one let's watch it
17
and then you'll give it to him hey oh hey i don't know about all
18
that okay there's a lot to unpack here so the woman said
19
and then you'll give it to him
20
and then barney the man said hey oh hey i don't know about all of that
21
So we'll talk about and practice his words, in particular the phrase I don't know about all that, not paying attention to the words hey oh hey.
22
Hey oh hey, I don't know about all that.
23
The phrase I don't know was reduced to I don't know.
24
And it's a very common phenomenon to reduce this phrase in spoken language.
25
And it's not a true d it's a fast d it's
26
not i don't know it's i don't know the word about links to the word all with the t
27
and about turning into a fast d of is reduced to the schwa sound linked to all and sounds like allah allah about Allah.
28
The word that is being pronounced not with a true T at the end but with a stopped T.
29
You go into the position for the T but you don't release the air.
30
You don't release the T.
31
And the TH sound wasn't articulated fully.
32
As you could hear it was said very fast.
33
All the words were reduced.
34
To be able to say it like that you not only need to know about all the reductions
35
but also your tongue needs to be trained to make the needed movements quickly.
36
Let's listen to it again and practice.
37
Hey, oh, hey, I don't know about all that.
38
All right, now we will say it slowly but without pauses in continuous sequence.
39
I don't know about all that.
40
I don't know about all that.
41
I don't know about all of that.
42
And now faster.
43
I don't know about all that.
44
I don't know about all that.
45
I don't know about all that.
46
I don't know about all that.
47
Wait, oh wait, I don't know about all that.
48
I don't know about all that.
49
Okay.
50
Wow, my tongue is tired.
51
What about yours?
52
Okay, guys, if you like this type of video, let me know in the comments and give this video a like
53
so that I know that you like it even if you don't comment.
54
And I'll see you in the next one.
55
Bye.
