1
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
What are you supposed to do?
129
It seems crazy now, but I was already in college the first time I had boba.
130
It seems crazy now, but I was already in college the first time I had boba.
131
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
132
The city I grew up in didn't have much in the way of Asian food or dessert places back then.
133
I remember being really surprised when I tried boba for the first time.

Giới Thiệu Bài Học Này

Bài học hôm nay sẽ giúp bạn khám phá các âm kết nối trong tiếng Anh, đặc biệt là khi nói về các món ăn mà bạn đã thử lần đầu tiên tại một nhà hàng. Chúng ta sẽ chú ý đến cách phát âm tự nhiên và lưu loát của người bản ngữ. Qua việc luyện nghe nói qua video, bạn sẽ trang bị cho mình khả năng giao tiếp tốt hơn và cải thiện đáng kể kỹ năng phát âm của mình.

Từ Vựng & Câu Chuyện Quan Trọng

  • First time (lần đầu tiên)
  • Heard of (nghe về)
  • Asian food (ẩm thực châu Á)
  • College (trường đại học)
  • Glottal stop (âm dừng glottal)
  • Reduce (giảm bớt)
  • Nasal release (phát âm mũi)
  • Dessert (tráng miệng)

Mẹo Thực Hành

Khi bạn bắt đầu luyện tập, hãy chú ý đến tốc độ và âm điệu của người nói trong video. Dưới đây là một số mẹo cần lưu ý để tăng cường kỹ năng shadow speak của bạn:

  • Shadowing tiếng anh yêu cầu bạn phải bắt chước người nói ngay khi họ phát âm. Hãy lắng nghe từng cụm từ và cố gắng nhắc lại ngay tức thì.
  • Tiến hành luyện nghe nói qua video bằng cách phát video ở tốc độ chậm một chút (nếu có thể), rồi dần dần tăng tốc lên để tương đồng với tốc độ tự nhiên của người phát ngôn.
  • Sử dụng phần mềm shadowing để ghi lại giọng nói của mình và so sánh với cách phát âm của người bản ngữ. Điều này giúp bạn nhận diện được những âm thanh mà bạn cần cải thiện.
  • Chú ý đến các âm kết nối, như "it seems" sẽ trở thành "itseems," hãy thực hành chúng cho thật nhuần nhuyễn.

Việc luyện tập thường xuyên sẽ giúp bạn tự tin hơn trong giao tiếp và cải thiện khả năng phát âm. Hãy kiên nhẫn và vui vẻ với quá trình học tập này!

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
