Hey everyone, it's Hedar.
2
Today we are going to practice together linking words to help you sound more expressive
3
and to help you organize your thoughts and also we'll practice connected speech.
4
So this is also going to be a pronunciation lesson.
5
First, let's start by defining linking words.
6
Linking words or connectors or transitional words are the little words
7
or phrases that we use connect ideas and make what we say or write flow better.
8
For example, however, so, but nonetheless,
9
besides, furthermore, alternatively, and so many more.
10
So linking words are designed to help the other person follow our thoughts, especially when it's a longer sentence or a complex thought.
11
And it helps guide the other person to see whether we're adding something,
12
showing contrast, explaining, giving examples, or wrapping things up.
13
Today we're going to practice five linking words.
14
We're going to practice the pronunciation and I deliberately chose longer phrases
15
so we can practice connected speech and we're going to talk about the meaning and how we use them in context.
16
The most important thing is to always practice new words or new phrases or phrases that you don't regularly use.
17
in context and repeat it again and again until you make it a habit, until you can use it spontaneously.
18
Because we all know that the worst thing is to learn something new
19
or to hear something that you already know
20
and to put it on the back shelf in the back of your brain and forget about it.
21
Okay, so this is why the intentional repetition, it's part of my method, the pronunciation confidence method.
22
This is why it helps you make these words that you learn more available and to use them regularly.
23
The linking words and phrases that we're going to practice today are in other words, that said, at the same time,
24
alternatively, and in a nutshell.
25
Let's start with in other words.
26
So in terms of pronunciation, we want to connect this whole phrase together.
27
In other words, we have a th and an r there, so we want to make sure
28
that the transition is smooth other there there there other connect it with the word in in other
29
another another the end becomes the beginning of the word other in other
30
and then the word words notice the pronunciation you don't pronounce
31
the o here words in other words r to w might pose a difficulty for a lot of you.
32
So do it slowly first.
33
In other words, if it's really, really difficult, just drop the R.
34
Listen.
35
In other words, in other words, in other words, no one will notice.
36
No one will know.
37
Okay.
38
In other words.
39
Now the definition, in other words, it is used when you want to clarify
40
or explain something in a different way when you said it and then you want to highlight it,
41
emphasize it, or land an idea and you use other words to say it.
42
It's often used to simplify or rephrase a point.
43
In other words, for example, she's really good at managing her time.
44
In other words, she's always on top of things.
45
Again, she's really good at managing her time.
46
In other words, in other words, she's always on top of things.
47
Next sentence, he's really picky with food.
48
In other words, he won't eat anything unless it's perfect.
49
One more time.
50
He's really picky with food.
51
In other words, notice the pronunciation.
52
He won't eat anything unless it's perfect.
53
I'll be there at 10.15.
54
In other words, I'm running late.
55
I'll be there at 10.15.
56
In other words, I'm running late.
57
Now I want you to pause the video and think of at least one sentence with the phrase in other words.
58
Okay, good.
59
Next up, we have that said.
60
I really like that phrase.
61
I don't know why, but I really like it. That said.
62
I don't have a lot to say about this phrase except for the th.
63
Make sure you stick the tongue out.
64
And then the t is a held t that connects to an s.
65
That said so you don't really hear the t it's like
66
that said that said ah as in cat now
67
that said is something you say when you want to add a different point
68
or twist to what you just said so it's in a way
69
a way to balance things out
70
or soften what you said before you can also think of it as
71
if you were to use the word however
72
or still okay let me give you an example so it's going to be clear
73
the hike was difficult
74
that said the view from the top was absolutely worth it the hike was difficult
75
that said the view from the top was worth it what does
76
that mean like the hike was difficult right i'm saying something
77
that has a negative connotation that said i'm softening it
78
or i have like another perspective to what i just i
79
had just said the view from the top was worth it Let's look at another example.
80
She's not great at math.
81
That said, she's an excellent writer.
82
She's not great at math.
83
I made a statement.
84
That said, you can also think of it as however, she's an excellent writer.
85
That said, that said, I've never been to Europe.
86
That said, I really want to visit someday.
87
I've never been to Europe.
88
That said, I really want to visit someday.
89
Okay, now it's your turn.
90
I want you to pause the video and think of a sentence or a phrase that you can say using that set.
91
The next phrase is at the same time.
92
At the same time.
93
Here we want to connect the words together.
94
At the, at the, at the.
95
The T and the TH connect.
96
To do that, place your tongue on the teeth for the T. at
97
and then it's already ready for the th the at the
98
you don't have to pop the t at no need at
99
the at the at the at the schwa same time that's
100
easy to say right at the same time at the same
101
time now at the same time is used to show
102
that two things are true simultaneously even if they seem contradictory
103
or a little surprising together okay at the same time at the same time
104
and if we want to think of alternative words you can think of
105
while or still i love spending time alone
106
but at the same time i get lonely easily does
107
that make more sense now so i love spending time alone
108
but at the same time i get lonely easily
109
so it's kind of like conflicting and surprising that I say those two things.
110
But the two things are true at the same time.
111
I love spending time alone.
112
At the same time, I get lonely easily.
113
It's a great opportunity, but at the same time, it's a big risk.
114
But at the same time, pay attention to the pronunciation.
115
But at the same time, it's a great opportunity.
116
But at the same time, you really have to consider it because it's a big risk.
117
at the same time.
118
She was tired but at the same time full of energy from the excitement.
119
She was tired but at the same time full of energy from the excitement.
120
So she was both tired and excited.
121
Okay, full of energy, I mean, and excited at the same time.
122
The two things were happening at the same time.
123
Makes sense.
124
Pause the video and think of at least now two sentences with the phrase at the same time.
125
The next one is alternatively.
126
Alternatively.
127
Pronunciation.
128
You can either pronounce it with an aw as in daughter.
129
It's a more rounded version of the open ah sound or ah alternatively.
130
Choose whatever you want.
131
Now this is a dark l
132
so the dark l affects the beginning vowel alternatively a dark l appears before a consonant
133
or at the end of words and it sounds like this oh it's not alternatively but all all all alternatively
134
if that's difficult for you pronounce whatever l you're used to pronouncing it's still going to be clear.
135
Primary stress is on ter, alternative, flap t, li.
136
Okay?
137
Alternatively, alternatively, alternatively, alternatively introduces another option or possibility,
138
an alternative option, an alternative possibility.
139
You can think of it as using the word or, or another option is, or instead right these are other phrases
140
that could be used for the same situation you could fly
141
to london alternatively you can take the train from paris you
142
could fly to london alternatively you can take the train from paris
143
so i could have easily said you could fly to london
144
or you can take the train from paris but alternatively it's got like a fancier way to say it i sound unsophisticated.
145
You could fly to London.
146
Alternatively, you can take the train from Paris.
147
Now, it's not fancy language.
148
Okay, you can use it daily.
149
It's however you want to use it.
150
I'm just giving you the tools.
151
You decide how to use them.
152
I can cook tonight.
153
Alternatively, we could order in.
154
Order in is order food from a restaurant to your house.
155
I can cook tonight.
156
Alternatively, we could order in.
157
Let's look at another example.
158
You can join the 5 p.m session.
159
Alternatively, Alternatively, there's another one at 7pm.
160
Again, you can join the 5pm session.
161
Alternatively, there's another one at 7.
162
Good.
163
To summarize this lovely video, we are going to practice the phrase in a nutshell.
164
In a, in a, in a, in a nutshell.
165
T is held, connected to the sh sound.
166
Nutshell, in a nutshell, in a nutshell.
167
In a nutshell is used when you want to summarize something in a clear way, okay?
168
When you say something and then you just want to end it with a one-liner that summarizes the whole thing, you'll use in a nutshell.
169
You can also, alternative phrases would be to sum up or basically, in a nutshell.
170
Okay, so let's look at a few examples.
171
The first one, the movie was too long, too slow and confusing.
172
In a nutshell, I didn't like it.
173
The movie was too long, too slow and confusing.
174
In a nutshell, I didn't like it.
175
Another one, he's lazy, unreliable and never shows up on time.
176
In a nutshell, he's not a great teammate.
177
Okay, so I said a bunch of things and then to summarize
178
or in short or let me put it in very basic words or simple words in a nutshell.
179
Bottom line, he's not a great teammate.
180
Okay, last one.
181
The app kept crashing, the interface was confusing, and the support team didn't help.
182
In a nutshell, it was a frustrating experience.
183
In a nutshell, in a nutshell.
184
Now pause the video and create at least two sentences with a phrase in a nutshell.
185
All right, that's it.
186
I hope you enjoyed the episode about linking words where we talked about
187
literally linking the words and also using linking words in a sentence and how to use them.
188
Remember that if you want to add a new phrase or new word into your vocabulary,
189
and I bet that you've all heard these phrases or these words before.
190
And I bet that you don't regularly use these phrases as well.
191
So this is called passive vocabulary when you know a word
192
and a phrase if you were to hear it but you don't use it regularly.
193
And for you to be able to expand you don't need to keep on learning more and more words, right?
194
You keep learning and more linking words and more words you don't know
195
but what about all these beautiful words that you know but you don't use like the ones we practiced in this video.
196
In this case, my best advice is to just become more confident in using these phrases.
197
And I believe that the best way is to say these phrases out loud again and again, building pronunciation confidence.
198
So your mouth is used to saying them, you feel like you're owning these phrases or these words, and then you want to use them in context.
199
You can google
200
phrases with these words or you can use ChatGPT to use these words
201
and you can say them again and again and again these phrases
202
and then you want to create your own sentences with these words
203
or phrases and then you want to start being mindful about using these words that's intentional practice
204
when you speak freely
205
and then you want to maybe use these words intentionally in a conversation with someone
206
or in a meeting because that's how you make these words more available and that's how how you use new vocabulary, passive vocabulary spontaneously.
207
All right.
208

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.
