hey what's up it's alex today i'd like to look at the connected sounds in a short passage
2
that answers the ielts prompt describe a time you lost your patience let's take a look
3
i'm really quite a patient guy here i often say really instead of really i'm really i'm really quite a
4
so here i connect quite and uh into quiet there's a little tap there to connect the t
5
to the uh i'm really quite a patient guy before the consonant the end of patient
6
that t turns into a glottal stop patient guy i'm really quite a patient guy it's very very rare
7
that i lose my patience it's very very rare i like
8
to connect these two words this is actually something i say all the time.
9
It's very, very rare.
10
It's very, very rare that I, that I, that I, I connect the T at the end of that to I, that I lose my patience.
11
But it still happens.
12
But it, I tap that T at the end of but, and then I have a glottal stop for the T at the end of it, because I've got an S right after it
13
but it still happens the most recent time the most recent
14
i connect the with most the most the most recent now you notice
15
when i said most by itself i pronounce the t but
16
when i say most recent i take out
17
that t in most the most recent time turn that t in recent into a glottal stop.
18
The most recent time.
19
Recent time.
20
The most recent time was when I was, was when I was, for both of those was words,
21
take that vowel and turn it into a very, very, very quick sound.
22
Was when I was.
23
The most recent time was when I was, was when I was.
24
The most recent time was was when I was trying to get, trying to get, trying to, we connect to trying to,
25
trying to get, trying to get, get has a glottal stop, was when I was trying to get something solved.
26
Now this word something has this fast pronunciation, something.
27
It's s-u-m, glottal stop, m.
28
Something.
29
I was trying to get something solved.
30
Now some people don't like that something pronunciation
31
and they prefer to say something with an i n instead
32
of an ing i was trying to get something solved i
33
was trying to get something solved with my home internet service with my home internet service notice
34
that t in internet the first t gets removed internet and
35
that second t turns into a global stop internet service internet service the most recent time was
36

37
Now, I'll take a moment here to say that if you're enjoying this video and you like this style of teaching, definitely check out the other videos,
38
the premium content that I've linked in my description and in the comments below.
39
In those videos, I go into a lot more detail, and I talk about much longer texts, and I start breaking down some of the vocabulary and the organizational choices as well.
40
Check those out if you're interested, and now let's get back to this lesson.
41
Home Internet Service.
42
I call them.
43
I call them.
44
Call them.
45
So here we say call them.
46
We completely take out that th in them.
47
I call them like six or seven times.
48
So here I'm adding the filler like.
49
People use this all the time in natural English speech.
50
I call them like six or seven times.
51
I call them like six or seven.
52
Connect that six or seven and reduce the vowel in or.
53
I call them like six
54
or seven times over more than a week over more than than turns into them
55
when it's unstressed I call them like six
56
or seven times over more than a week over more than
57
than more than a week every call they said they were working on it
58
and asked me to try this and that every call they said they Here I'm connecting that said to they,
59
they said they, said they.
60
They said they were working on it.
61
They are working on it.
62
That W sound in Word gets reduced in rapid speech.
63
They're working on it, I'm not saying they're working.
64
I'm not saying they are working.
65
I'm saying they're, they're, they're, they said they're working on it.
66
In fast speech, it really sounds like they are, but there is a very small difference in the rhythm.
67
They said they're, they're, they're, there's like space for that W to exist, but it's really, really reduced.
68
They said they're, they're working on it, working on it.
69
Here, it has a glottal stop instead of a full T.
70
Working on it and asked me and asked me and asked me.
71
So here, and loses that d and asked asked
72
which is such a difficult word to say slowly gets really simplified to asked asked
73
and asked me and asked me
74
that d at the end of asked also gets pretty reduced too
75
and asked and asked me to and that's me
76
and that's me to me to turns into and ask me to
77
and ask me to try this And that over and over and nothing worked this and that over and over,
78
and nothing worked This and that you're turning that and into just and this and that this and that over,
79
and over Also, there's no D and and there either this and that over and over, and nothing worked This and that over and over,
80
and nothing three ands, and no d's This and that over and over and nothing worked.
81
Also pay attention that in that there's a glottal stop.
82
This and that over and over and nothing worked.
83
On one call, I explained the whole situation.
84
On one call, I explained the.
85
That N and the TH connect together.
86
We completely skip the D at the end of explained.
87
I explained the.
88
I explained the whole situation very clearly at the beginning.
89
very clearly yet yet yet I'm not saying at I'm saying
90
it very clearly yet yet very clearly at the beginning I'm
91
also connecting the at to the th very clearly at the
92
it the it the very clearly at the beginning the guy
93
listened patiently the guy listened patiently we have N D at the end of listened
94
and that d gets removed and i connect the n to the p but
95
when i connect an n to a p i actually turn
96
the n into an m the guy listen patiently the guy
97
listened patiently now you never hear the m in connected speech
98
because it happens so fast and it naturally connects to the p
99
but it does happen if you try to slow it down that m appears the guy listened patiently listen listen patiently.
100
The guy listened patiently.
101
Then he called me Jeffrey.
102
Then he called me, called me.
103
That D in called gets connected to the M in me.
104
Called me.
105
It really, really weakens, but it doesn't disappear.
106
It's not call me.
107
Then he called, called, it's like I want to say D, but I just don't finish the sound and I turn it into M instead.
108
Then he called me Jeffrey it's such a small detail it's
109
such connect those two s sounds together it's such a such a small detail it's such a small detail
110
but getting but getting called I take out the t in
111
but turn it into a glottal stop
112
but getting called the getting called the here the d
113
and the th connect called the wrong name
114
but getting called the wrong name when I was really frustrated
115
so I have two little chunks here the wrong name
116
when I was the wrong name the wrong the wrong name
117
when I was was again we're really really reducing the uh in was
118
when I was was was really frustrated just sent me over edge just sent me
119
so here just we lose that t and just
120
and sent we connect
121
that to me with a gloss stop just sent me over
122
the edge just sent me over the edge just sent me over the edge the edge we connect the the
123
and edge with a yuh sound just sent me over the edge i cancelled my service that That same day,
124
I canceled my, canceled my.
125
I'm really shortening that d sound in canceled.
126
I canceled my service, canceled my service that same day, that same day.
127
So here, I'm not saying the, I'm not really reducing that, because I'm saying which day?
128
That day, that same day.
129
I canceled my service that same day and switched to another company.
130
Switch to, switch to.
131
So I connect that switch to, to, by connecting those T sounds together.
132
and I don't really say to another, to another.
133
I often talk about having to reduce the ooh to a for two, but here I'm not doing that.
134
To one another.
135
Switch to one another company.
136
Switch to, because two is part of the verb here, switch to something.
137
Switch to one another company.
138
I simply connect ooh and a with a what sound.
139
And switch to another company.
140
Of course, I'm also reducing that D in AND and switch to another company.
141
I canceled my service that same day and switched to another company.
142
Okay, now I'm going to read the whole thing twice.
143
First, slowly, but still with all the connected sounds, which sounds funny, but it definitely helps to see where the connections happen.
144
Then I'll read it at a natural speed.
145
I'm really quite a patient guy.
146
It's very, very rare that I lose my patience.
147
But it still happens.
148
The most recent time was when I was trying to get something solved with my home internet service.
149
I called them like six or seven times over more than a week.
150
Every call they said they were working on it
151
and asked me to try this and that over and over and nothing worked.
152
On one call I explained the whole situation very clearly at the beginning.
153
The guy listened patiently.
154
Then he called me Jeffrey.
155
It's such a small detail,
156
but getting called the wrong name when I was really frustrated just sent me over the edge.
157
I canceled my service that same day and switched to another company.
158
Can you tell that this is a real story?
159
Really happened.
160
Here we go with a full speed reading.
161
I'm really quite a patient guy.
162
It's very, very rare that I lose my patience, but it still happens.
163
The most recent time was when I was trying to get something solved with my home internet service.
164
I called them like six or seven times over more than a week.
165
Every call, they said they were working on it
166
and asked me to try this and that over and over and nothing worked.
167
On one call, I explained the whole situation very clearly at the beginning.
168
The guy listened patiently, then he called me Jeffrey.
169
It's such a small detail, but getting called the wrong name when I was really frustrated just sent me over the edge.
170
I canceled my service that same day and switched to another company.
Tại sao nên luyện nói với video này?
Luyện nói tiếng Anh với video này mang lại nhiều lợi ích cho người học. Đầu tiên, video giúp bạn làm quen với cách phát âm tự nhiên của người bản ngữ. Bạn sẽ thấy cách mà Alex kết nối âm trong câu, điều này không chỉ giúp bạn nói nhanh hơn mà còn giúp hiểu nghĩa khi nghe. Việc thực hành theo video này sẽ cải thiện khả năng phản xạ khi nói tiếng Anh, một điều rất quan trọng trong các kỳ thi như IELTS. Hơn nữa, việc chú ý đến những âm thanh được kết nối sẽ giúp bạn phát triển kỹ năng shadowing tiếng anh, một phương pháp rất hiệu quả để nâng cao khả năng nghe và nói.
Ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong ngữ cảnh
Trong video, Alex sử dụng một số cấu trúc ngữ pháp và biểu thức đáng chú ý:
- Từ nối: Alex thường sử dụng từ "and" và "but" để kết nối các câu. Ví dụ: "But it still happens" cho thấy sự chuyển tiếp плавно trong câu chuyện.
- Câu hỏi trực tiếp: Ví dụ như "when I was trying to get something solved", tạo ra sự tương tác và kích thích người nghe.
- Biểu thức thông dụng: Alex dùng cụm từ "I call them" và kết hợp với filler "like" để làm câu trở nên tự nhiên hơn. Điều này rất thích hợp khi luyện nói tiếng anh trong giao tiếp hàng ngày.
Các cạm bẫy phát âm phổ biến
Khi luyện nói theo video, bạn có thể gặp một số từ và âm khó phát âm:
- Glottal stops: Sự thay đổi trong phát âm của âm "t" thành glottal stop trong các từ như "patient" hay "internet". Điều này có thể gây khó khăn cho người học.
- Cách phát âm nhanh: Các từ như "something" và "trying to" có thể bị nói nhanh đến nỗi khó nghe nếu bạn chưa quen.
- Âm "th": Trong câu "call them", âm "th" bị lược bỏ, điều này có thể khiến người học bối rối khi cố gắng nói theo cách tự nhiên.
Việc luyện tập với cách phát âm và ngữ cảnh này sẽ giúp bạn tự tin hơn khi giao tiếp và tăng khả năng tham gia vào các cuộc trò chuyện thực tế. Hãy kiên nhẫn và luyện tập nhiều lần để cải thiện kỹ năng shadow speech của bạn!
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.
