Ah yeah!

So how many times have you felt frustrated because you could understand English

but then you felt like when it came time to speak it you didn't feel natural or confident?

On today's lesson you will develop the confidence

that you need to feel natural when you speak English with the incredibly talented Taylor Swift.

We'll be learning along with the commencement speech that she gave in 2022 at New York University.

So if you're ready, Let's get started.

All right, so we're going to practice with an exercise called imitation.

Now the idea of imitation is to try to improve the different details of your speaking by mimicking exactly how someone else,

usually a native speaker, speaks the language.

You really want to pay attention to things like intonation,

the melody, pronunciation of individual words, and so on.

Let me demonstrate how we'll be imitating Taylor in this lesson with an exercise that's kind of like karaoke.

My experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life.

So here's how this lesson is going to go.

First, we'll watch the entire clip with subtitles.

Then, we'll learn how to pronounce the most difficult sounds in her speech.

And finally, at the end,

we'll practice karaoke-ing along with her.

It was all centered around the idea that mistakes equal failure.

And ultimately, the loss of any chance at a happy or rewarding life.

This has not been my experience.

my experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life

and being embarrassed

when you mess up it's part of the human experience getting back up dusting yourself off

and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it that's a gift

The times I was told no or wasn't included,

wasn't chosen, didn't win, didn't make the cut,

looking back, it really feels like those moments were as important,

if not more crucial, than the moments I was told yes.

Not being invited to the parties and sleepovers in my hometown made me feel hopelessly lonely.

But because I felt alone,

I would sit in my room and write the songs that would get me a ticket somewhere else.

Let's start with the word the.

It was all centered around the idea that mistakes equal failure.

So the word the can be pronounced in two different ways.

The or the.

So how do we know which one to use and when?

Well, in American English, it's usually pronounced as the because articles like the,

a, an, are function words.

This means that we reduce them in natural speech.

The exception to this is when we want to add emphasis,

so then we will fully pronounce words that we would normally reduce in our natural speech.

So for example, if I ask you to hand me a pencil,

I would say, could you hand me the pencil?

But imagine you hand me a pen instead.

Then I might emphasize to help you understand my need better.

No not the pen, the pencil.

Now let's practice saying the word failure.

It was all centered around the idea that mistakes equal failure.

So the first sound is fey,

similar to the word fey.

The sound is created by combining the letter F with a long A sound as in 8 or B.

The verse part is L which is the L sound as in love or light.

The second part is Y which is a combination of two sounds.

The Y sound is similar to the Y sound in yes or yellow.

The ER sound is the schwa sound which is a neutral vowel sound similar to the ER sound in butter or teacher.

Remember in American English, the R is rhotic,

which means we pronounce it fully.

The stress or emphasis is on the first syllable, fail.

Now let's say it together.

Failure.

And ultimately, the loss of any chance at a happy or rewarding life.

As Taylor Swift is from the US,

she obviously uses the North American pronunciation.

One common feature of this is the pronunciation of the A sound,

which we'll hear when Taylor pronounces words such as chance, afterwards, and laugh.

In American English, the A in chance,

afterwards, and laugh is pronounced as a short A sound,

similar to the A sound in cat or ham.

This can be compared to British English where these words are pronounced as a long A sound,

similar to the A sound in father or car.

As you can see, pronunciation is an essential part of becoming a fluent speaker.

Fluent speakers are easily understood by others because they have really worked at and mastered the rhythm,

intonation, stress, linking, and other details of the language that help them to sound natural when they speak.

So remember, the more that you practice with exercises like we're doing today,

the better that you'll become at it.

By the By the way,

so many of you have told me that you really want to start practicing speaking English every day,

but you simply don't have anyone in your life that you can practice speaking with on a regular basis.

So we decided to go ahead and solve this problem for you by creating the RealLife app.

Now the RealLife app is fantastic because it's the only place where anytime,

anywhere you can simply press a button and we'll instantly connect you to another English speaker in another part of the world.

not only can you practice your speaking anytime,

anywhere, even just during your coffee break,

but you can also discover other cultures.

It's really like you were virtually traveling around the world,

but without leaving the comfort of your home.

What's more, you can also advance your English listening with our weekly podcast lessons

and learn the vocabulary and never forget it with exclusive flashcards.

So what are you waiting for?

It's absolutely free to start.

You can look up of RealLife English in the Apple App Store,

Google Play Store, or simply click up here or down in the description below to learn more.

Now let's pay attention to how Taylor pronounces the T in part of,

getting, about it, invited, parties, and sit in.

And being embarrassed when you mess up,

100

it's part of the human experience.

101

Getting back up, dusting yourself off,

102

and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it,

103

that's a gift.

104

Not being invited to the parties and sleepovers in my hometown made me feel hopelessly lonely.

105

But because I felt alone,

106

I would sit in my room and write the songs that would get me a ticket somewhere else.

107

Taylor pronounces this with an American T sound so it sounds like a da.

108

To make this sound the tip of your tongue touches behind your teeth and it's a really quick movement da da da.

109

It's actually the same sound that we have with the R in Spanish or some other Latin languages.

110

The American T is voiced meaning that

111

if you touch your throat you would actually feel it vibrating as you're making the sound.

112

This is a very common feature of American pronunciation.

113

Now you might be asking yourself,

114

how will I know when I need to use the American T?

115

Now the rule of the American T is that they occur between vowels and the second vowel is in an unstressed syllable.

116

Part of, getting, about it, invited, parties, sit in.

117

Now let's pay attention to how Taylor pronounces the T in wasn't included,

118

didn't make the cut, and important.

119

Taylor pronounces

120

these words with a glottal T sound.

121

So to make the glottal T sound,

122

start by positioning your mouth and tongue as you would when pronouncing the regular T sound.

123

Instead of releasing the air by pushing your tongue up against the alveolar ridge,

124

create a small burst of air by closing your vocal cords and then quickly releasing them again.

125

This creates a distinct pop sound like a small cough

126

or the sound that we hear between the syllables when we say uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

127

This is a really challenging sound, let's practice together.

128

Wasn't included.

129

Wasn't included.

130

Didn't make the cut.

131

Didn't make the cut.

132

Important.

133

Important.

134

All right, next let's practice saying the word crucial.

135

Looking back, it really feels like those moments were as important if not more crucial than the moments I was told yes.

136

The first sound is pru, similar to cruel.

137

The u sound is created by combining the kr sound with the long u sound as in moon or group.

138

The second sound is shul.

139

It consists of two parts.

140

The first part is sh which is the sh sound as in shu or sheep.

141

The second part is all which is the uh sound,

142

that schwa sound we saw earlier,

143

combined with a dark l which is like we hear in the words world or cool.

144

Well, light L sound like we saw in failure is produced at the front of the mouth.

145

A dark L sound is produced at the back of the throat.

146

So when you put it all together,

147

crucial is pronounced as crucial with the emphasis on the first syllable.

148

Finally, let's look at the stress and intonation in two words sleepover and hometown.

149

Not being invited to the parties and sleepovers in my hometown made me feel hopelessly lonely.

150

The word sleepover, the primary stress falls on the first syllable sleep.

151

So the word is pronounced as sleepover, sleepover.

152

The other syllables, o and ver are pronounced with less stress, sleepover.

153

When saying sleepover, the pitch typically rises slightly on the stressed syllable sleep

154

and then falls gradually on the following syllables o and ver.

155

Sleepover.

156

Sleepover.

157

In the words hometown, the primary stress falls on the first syllable, home.

158

So the word is pronounced as hometown.

159

Hometown.

160

The second syllable town is pronounced with less stress.

161

Hometown.

162

Hometown.

163

So how are you doing so far with today's speaking lessons?

164

Let us know which series,

165

movie, or famous celebrity like Taylor Swift you would like to practice your speaking with next.

166

So this time, we won't do the imitation together,

167

but I would like you to actually practice everything that you've learned today.

168

As a bonus tip, I highly recommend that you record yourself on your phone

169

and that way you can listen back and compare it to the original so you can really evaluate how you're doing here.

170

If you want, you can go back now and listen to the whole speech again by using the chapters in this video.

171

Are you ready?

172

Let's go!

173

has not been my experience.

174

My experience has been that my mistakes led to the past in my life.

175

And being embarrassed when you mess up is part of the human experience.

176

Getting back up, dusting yourself off,

177

and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it,

178

that's a good.

179

The times I was told no,

180

or wasn't indicated, wasn't chosen,

181

didn't win, didn't make the cut,

182

looking back, it really feels like those moments were as important,

183

if not more peaceful, than the moments I was told yes.

184

Not being guided to the parties and sleepovers in my hometown made me feel hopelessly lonely.

185

But because I felt alone,

186

I would sit in my room and write the songs that would get me a ticket from the house.

187

I really hope that you enjoyed today's lesson.

188

You got a lot out of it and that your speaking got a little bit better than before you watched the lesson.

189

So if you want to keep improving your speaking,

190

I recommend you check out this lesson next.

191

Let's watch a clip.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
