Hello everyone!
2
I thought it was about time for another Shadowing Practice video since
3
so many of you have been requesting more in the comments, so I'll add this one to the playlist as well.
4
Specifically, you've been asking about when to drop the T's
5
and D's at the ends of words and and when to link them to the word that comes after.
6
So I'm going to specifically point those moments out to you in today's shadowing practice.
7
So let's jump right in.
8
And don't forget to like this video and subscribe to my channel so you don't miss any of my future videos.
9
English made easy with Claire.
10
So first, I'm going to read through this story slowly, and you can repeat after me.
11
And I will, of course, point out some pronunciation tips along the way.
12
And then I'll read through the story a little faster, without stopping, and you can shadow me.
13
So say it with me.
14
Ready?
15
Lately, I've been trying to eat healthy.
16
Lately, I've been trying to eat healthy.
17
You'll notice that I pronounced trying to as try -na.
18
Try -na.
19
I've been trying to eat healthy.
20
It's like try na, right?
21
So we don't always have to pronounce the ing endings of words.
22
And of course, we also could drop the T at the beginning of to and pronounce to with a schwa sound,
23
which hopefully you have come across before to, to, to eat healthy instead of to eat healthy.
24
So yeah, here we can put trying to link it all together and say, try na, try na.
25
Lately, I've been trying to eat healthy.
26
So I decided to make a green smoothie with kale, chia seeds, yogurt, and lots of fruit.
27
So, I decided to make a green smoothie with kale, chia seeds, yogurt, and lots of fruit.
28
Decided to becomes decided to.
29
Decided to.
30
Okay, so the D ending could be described as linked with the word to,
31
or you could think of it as dropping the D sound here.
32
Decided to.
33
Decided to.
34
Decided to make a green smoothie.
35
So I decided to make a green smoothie with kale, chia seeds, yogurt, and lots of fruit.
36
Here, lots of fruit.
37
You'll notice that we have the V ending of of and then the F beginning of fruit.
38
Well, what ends up happening is we drop the F in of.
39
So the sound, the voiced sound gets completely dropped.
40
Lots of fruit, lots of fruit.
41
And also fruit, the T at the end, you could drop that as well.
42
A lot of US native speakers will completely drop that T ending.
43
Lots of fruit.
44
Lots of fruit.
45
I shouldn't have added garlic.
46
I shouldn't have added garlic.
47
Okay, here we have shouldn't have, and it becomes in very rapid speech, shouldn't.
48
Shouldn't.
49
Shouldn't.
50
Shouldn't.
51
I shouldn't have added garlic.
52
I don't know why I did it.
53
I don't know why I did it.
54
I don't know.
55
becomes I don't know.
56
I don't know.
57
I don't know why I did it.
58
I think I read somewhere it boosts immunity.
59
I think I read somewhere it boosts immunity.
60
Here we have the word boosts,
61
which a lot of you might find tricky to pronounce because we have an S -T sound followed by the S, boosts.
62
But in rapid natural speech,
63
we don't actually always pronounce T -S -S followed by an S.
64
Instead, it ends up sounding like boosts.
65
Boosts immunity.
66
Boosts immunity.
67
I think I read somewhere it boosts immunity.
68
Anyway, I blended it.
69
Took one sip.
70
Anyway, I blended it, took one sip, blended it.
71
Link the D sound at the end of blended to the beginning of the word it.
72
You can drop the T at the end of it.
73
It becomes it and not it.
74
You can safely drop the T's at the ends of words.
75
I blended it.
76
I blended it.
77
Right?
78
The dit, dit, dit.
79
The D aligns with the word it.
80
I blended it.
81
I blended it.
82
took one sip and immediately regretted it.
83
Regretted it.
84
And immediately regretted it.
85
This one's similar to blended it.
86
The double T in the middle of these two vowels in the word regretted sound like Ds,
87
just like in the word blended.
88
But blended actually has a D.
89
Here you see double T.
90
But when we have a T or double T in between two vowels, it sounds like a D sound.
91
Regretted it.
92
Regretted it.
93
And then you can put the end D of regretted over onto the word it.
94
Regretted it.
95
I regretted it.
96
I tried to drink some more, but I just couldn't.
97
I tried to drink some more, but I just couldn't.
98
Tried to becomes try to.
99
In very rapid speech, if we have this ed ending like tried, often that gets dropped completely.
100
The d gets dropped.
101
So here's another case.
102
where you would drop the d ending.
103
I tried to, I tried to, I tried to, I tried to drink some more.
104
The m at the end of some and the m at the beginning of more gets squished together.
105
So you can just say some more, some more, some more, but I just couldn't, but I just couldn't.
106
So the t at the end of just gets dropped and becomes just.
107
The N apostrophe T sound at the ends of words, if you ever see this at the end of a word, it's pronounced n.
108
n.
109
A very nasal n sound.
110
Couldn't.
111
Couldn't.
112
But I just couldn't.
113
I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
114
I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
115
Again, we can link the last D of ended to the word up.
116
Ended up.
117
Ended up.
118
Ended up.
119
I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
120
I don't often throw food away, but I can't force myself to eat something I don't like.
121
I don't often throw food away, but I can't force myself to eat something I don't like.
122
Okay, here we have the word often, which can be pronounced both with the T and without.
123
In very rapid speech, the T does get dropped because it's a T in the middle of a word,
124
but both ways to pronounce the word are correct.
125
You could either say, I don't often throw food away, or I don't often throw food away.
126
Often.
127
Often.
128
But I can't force myself.
129
But I can't.
130
Can't.
131
Now, this one's tricky because a lot of non -native speakers can't tell the difference between can and can't.
132
Because in very rapid speech, the T ends up getting dropped.
133
It's the same, I already mentioned, n apostrophe t ending.
134
It's very short and abrupt.
135
Can't.
136
Can't.
137
Can't.
138
As opposed to the word can,
139
which sounds like can, can, can in rapid speech.
140
So we have can, can't. Can.
141
can't.
142
And I'm doing the thumbs down to signal that I'm saying the word can't, right?
143
Not that it's wrong.
144
So it's similar to that abrupt ending of couldn't, can't.
145
I can't force myself to eat something I don't like.
146
And now we have the word don't.
147
We also have the N apostrophe T ending don't,
148
don't, don't like, don't like.
149
Next time, I'll just have my usual peanut butter on toast.
150
Next time, I'll just have my usual peanut butter on toast.
151
And last thing I'll point out here is next time.
152
So we don't pronounce both T's.
153
Next time.
154
In rapid speech, we don't need them both.
155
So we can link these words next time.
156
Next time.
157
Next time, I'll just have my usual peanut butter on toast.
158
Okay, now I'm going to read through the whole story without stopping, and this time you are going to shadow me.
159
So you're going to say it with me.
160
Ready?
161
Lately, I've been trying to eat healthy.
162
So I decided to make a green smoothie with kale,
163
chia seeds, yogurt, and lots of fruit.
164
I shouldn't have added garlic.
165
I don't know why I did it.
166
I think I read somewhere it boosts immunity.
167
Anyway, I blended it, took one sip, and immediately regretted it.
168
I tried to drink some more, but I just couldn't.
169
I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
170
I don't often throw food away, but I can't force myself to eat something I don't like.
171
Next time, I'll just have my usual peanut butter on toast.
172

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.
