1
In this American English pronunciation video, we'll go for a hike in Colorado.
2
My dad and I discuss the hike, and we'll talk about interesting pronunciations and vocabulary words that come up in real English conversation.
3
This hike is called Chihuahua Gulch.
4
Chihuahua.
5
Have you heard this word before?
6
It's a teeny tiny breed of dog.
7
The spelling is pretty strange in American English because this word comes to us from Spanish.
8
The breed originated in Mexico.
9
This hike is called Chihuahua Gulch, and it's about seven miles round trip.
10
Round trip.
11
The opposite of this phrase is one way.
12
So when you go somewhere and come back, that's round trip.
13
Notice how the D is dropped.
14
Round trip.
15
We often drop the D when it comes between two other consonants.
16
Round trip.
17
round trip.
18
It's about seven miles round trip and it goes up about 1900 feet.
19
So this hike ends at a lake Yeah, you go, you start off going uphill about,
20
30 minutes then you go through this long valley and Notice how my dad really stretches out the word 'long'.
21
Why does he do that?
22
When we want to really stress words, we make them longer.
23
And you might do that especially with the word long, making it longer for dramatic purposes.
24
Long valley.
25
That took a long time.
26
That test was so long.
27
Through this long valley with a lot of gorse and little lakes and-- Gorse.
28
Hmm, do you know that word?
29
I didn't either.
30
Let's find out what it means.
31
With a lot of gorse and little lakes and little streams.
32
Gorse.
33
Gorse are these bushes.
34
Oh, I didn't know that.
35
And you sort of go to the end of the trees and where the Jeep Road ends.
36
Did you understand what he said there?
37
He called this road a "Jeep Road." So a jeep is a really rugged vehicle that has a high clearance.
38
That is a lot of room between the ground and the bottom of a car.
39
you would not be able to drive a regular car on this road.
40
Where the Jeep road ends, and then it's just a single path, and you end up at a mountain lake.
41
And you said mountain lake, eh, you seen one, you seen them all?
42
Eh, you seen one, you seen them all.
43
This is a phrase you might use to say that something isn't special.
44
Now the full grammatically correct pronunciation of this phrase would be: If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
45
But that's not how we pronounce it.
46
We like to reduce things in American English, especially familiar words and phrases.
47
And this is a familiar known phrase.
48
You've seen one, you've seen them all.
49
We drop the word if.
50
We reduce you've to just yip.
51
and we reduce them to um.
52
Yaseen.
53
Seen him.
54
You've seen one, you've seen them all.
55
Another scenario where you may use this.
56
Do you want to visit Paris?
57
Nah, I'm not that into cities.
58
You seen one, you seen them all.
59
Eh, you seen one, you seen them all?
60
A lot of them are pretty similar.
61
A lot of them.
62
my dad also reduced them to 'um'.
63
This is a really common reduction, just like in the phrase, you seen one, you seen them all.
64
Thank you.
65
a lot of them.
66
A lot of them.
67
Practice that with me out loud, smoothly connecting all the words.
68
A lot of them.
69
A lot of them.
70
A lot of them are pretty similar.
71
But you do have a great view.
72
You can see a long way out over the.. a couple of different mountain ranges.
73
A couple of different mountain ranges.
74
My dad reduced the word 'of' to just the schwa.
75
a A cupola.
76
We do this so much in conversation,
77
especially with this phrase: A couple of a couple of different mountain ranges and the lake itself is probably probably.
78
This is how we pronounce probably most of the time in conversation.
79
You can do it too.
80
It simplifies the word and makes it easier to say.
81
Try it now.
82
Probably.
83
Probably.
84
probably itself is probl and maybe 200 by 400.
85
Does Thank you.
86
I did see somebody swimming there once.
87
Very cold.
88
It'd be ice cold.
89
It'd be really cold.
90
Listen to the different ways we describe how cold it is.
91
Very cold.
92
Ice cold.
93
It'd be really cold.
94
Really cold.
95
ice cold, very cold.
96
Really and...
97
"very" are words we use before adjectives to say there's a lot of something.
98
really cold.
99
very cold a high amount of coldness.
100
Ice cold is another great way to describe something being very cold.
101
Now, this lake is not ice, it's water.
102
It's very cold water.
103
So describing it as ice cold is an exaggeration, a hyperbole.
104
I know it's not actually ice.
105
I know it's just extremely cold water.
106
Very cold.
107
Ice cold.
108
It'd be really cold.
109
I had no temptation to do that.
110
Yeah, I don't think I will either.
111
But this is just You can't design a better day.
112
There's not much wind, hardly any clouds.
113
Cool, but not cold.
114
- It's nice.
115
- And this time of year, you have a lot of aspen turning yellow.
116
- This time of year, Another example of reducing the word 'of' to just the schwa in natural conversation.
117
this time of year.
118
- It's nice.
119
- And this time of year, you have a lot of aspen turning yellow, and these bushes, I mean, they would be green in the summer.
120
Yeah, it looks awesome.
121
I mean I love I love the view.
122
I Yeah.
123
sweeping views.
124
And we have seen Uh...
125
wildlife along here.
126
Yeah.
127
Just a couple hundred yards down once there were four moose.
128
Moose.
129
These animals are fairly rare to see in the wild.
130
One other time when I was in Colorado, we saw one.
131
Click here or in the video description to see that video.
132
There were four moose grazing right by the path.
133
Further down yet, we saw a herd of maybe 10 or 15 antelope.
134
- Wow.
135
- Galloping along, you often see deer.
136
you often see.
137
My dad reduced you to y.
138
changing the vowel to the schwa.
139
This is also a common reduction.
140
Why do we do this?
141
because in American English, the contrast between stressed and unstressed syllables is really important.
142
So if we can make unstressed syllables even shorter by changing something, then we do that you often see.
143
You often see deer up here
144
and then on the rocks you can see marmots sometime and pica which are little tiny animals like that and they squeak.
145
How many times have you done this hike?
146
Probably five or six.
147
Probably.
148
there's another probably to probably reduction.
149
Probably five or six.
150
And to me, it's the most scenic hike around here, especially in September.
151
Scenic.
152
This is a great word you can use to describe a beautiful landscape.
153
Scenic.
154
Scenic.
155
To me it's the most scenic hike around here, especially in September, because the aspen are turning yellow and a lot of these bushes are turning red.
156
June, July, It's just the water is too high.
157
You'd have to take off your shoes and put on sandals and just wade through.
158
So usually we wait till August or September to do this one.
159
Wade.
160
This is what you do when you're walking through water.
161
So you're not swimming, you're walking like through a creek.
162
If the water is too deep, then you can't wade.
163
You have to swim.
164
Take off your shoes and put on sandals and just wade through.
165
Here is David walking over the creek that Dad says you have to wade through when the water is higher.
166
We didn't make it to the top.
167
Yeah, but we got to a good turning around point.
168
And we had a fantastic view.
169
We had lunch.
170
looking out down the Long Valley Couldn't have been better.
171
Couldn't have been better.
172
A word here is being reduced to just the schwa.
173
What word is it?
174
We noticed before that the word 'of' reduces to just the schwa but here it's the word 'have'.
175
Yes, the word 'have' can be changed to just the schwa sound.
176
Uh.
177
in conversation, especially after could, couldn't, should, shouldn't would, wouldn't.
178
I've actually seen native speakers mess this up and write 'should of' instead of 'should have'.
179
It makes sense because 'of' and 'have' can both produce to the same single sound, the schwa.
180
Shoulda.
181
But if this sound is following could, couldn't, should, shouldn't. Would, wouldn't.
182
The word is definitely have and reducing 'have' to just the schwa after these words will help your English sound natural.
183
Practice.
184
Good night.
185
Couldna.
186
Notice I'm dropping the T in the contraction.
187
This is how native speakers will say this phrase.
188
Couldna.
189
Couldna.
190

- "It's about seven miles round trip" - Khoảng bảy dặm cho chuyến đi hai chiều.
- "Jeep Road" - Đường dành cho xe Jeep, chỉ những đoạn đường gồ ghề mà ô tô bình thường không thể đi qua.
- "Long valley" - Thung lũng dài; từ "long" được kéo dài ra để nhấn mạnh.

- Chọn đoạn ngắn: Tìm một đoạn hội thoại khoảng 30 giây mà bạn thấy thú vị hoặc cảm thấy cần học thêm.
- Dùng phần mềm shadowing: Phát video và cố gắng nhắc lại ngay sau khi nghe. Điều này sẽ giúp cải thiện phát âm tiếng anh chuẩn của bạn.
- Lặp đi lặp lại: Tiến hành lặp lại đoạn hội thoại cho đến khi bạn có thể phát âm và ngữ điệu giống như người nói.
- Ghi chú từ vựng mới: Lưu lại những từ mới và thực hành chúng trong câu. Ví dụ như "gorse" hay "Jeep Road" để sử dụng trong các tình huống thực tế.

Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | you've seen · have seen · I've actually seen |
| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | is called · is dropped · being reduced |
| Khả năng với “might / may” might/may + động từ — điều có thể xảy ra nhưng không chắc | might do · might use · may use |
| Lời khuyên với “should” should + động từ — nói điều nên làm | shouldn't would · should of |
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.
