Hello everyone!

I thought it was about time for another Shadowing Practice video since

so many of you have been requesting more in the comments, so I'll add this one to the playlist as well.

Specifically, you've been asking about when to drop the T's

and D's at the ends of words and and when to link them to the word that comes after.

So I'm going to specifically point those moments out to you in today's shadowing practice.

So let's jump right in.

And don't forget to like this video and subscribe to my channel so you don't miss any of my future videos.

English made easy with Claire.

So first, I'm going to read through this story slowly, and you can repeat after me.

And I will, of course, point out some pronunciation tips along the way.

And then I'll read through the story a little faster, without stopping, and you can shadow me.

So say it with me.

Ready?

Lately, I've been trying to eat healthy.

You'll notice that I pronounced trying to as try -na.

Try -na.

I've been trying to eat healthy.

It's like try na, right?

So we don't always have to pronounce the ing endings of words.

And of course, we also could drop the T at the beginning of to and pronounce to with a schwa sound,

which hopefully you have come across before to, to, to eat healthy instead of to eat healthy.

So yeah, here we can put trying to link it all together and say, try na, try na.

Lately, I've been trying to eat healthy.

So I decided to make a green smoothie with kale, chia seeds, yogurt, and lots of fruit.

So, I decided to make a green smoothie with kale, chia seeds, yogurt, and lots of fruit.

Decided to becomes decided to.

Decided to.

Okay, so the D ending could be described as linked with the word to,

or you could think of it as dropping the D sound here.

Decided to.

Decided to make a green smoothie.

So I decided to make a green smoothie with kale, chia seeds, yogurt, and lots of fruit.

Here, lots of fruit.

You'll notice that we have the V ending of of and then the F beginning of fruit.

Well, what ends up happening is we drop the F in of.

So the sound, the voiced sound gets completely dropped.

Lots of fruit, lots of fruit.

And also fruit, the T at the end, you could drop that as well.

A lot of US native speakers will completely drop that T ending.

Lots of fruit.

I shouldn't have added garlic.

Okay, here we have shouldn't have, and it becomes in very rapid speech, shouldn't.

Shouldn't.

I shouldn't have added garlic.

I don't know why I did it.

I don't know.

becomes I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know why I did it.

I think I read somewhere it boosts immunity.

Here we have the word boosts,

which a lot of you might find tricky to pronounce because we have an S -T sound followed by the S, boosts.

But in rapid natural speech,

we don't actually always pronounce T -S -S followed by an S.

Instead, it ends up sounding like boosts.

Boosts immunity.

I think I read somewhere it boosts immunity.

Anyway, I blended it.

Took one sip.

Anyway, I blended it, took one sip, blended it.

Link the D sound at the end of blended to the beginning of the word it.

You can drop the T at the end of it.

It becomes it and not it.

You can safely drop the T's at the ends of words.

I blended it.

Right?

The dit, dit, dit.

The D aligns with the word it.

I blended it.

took one sip and immediately regretted it.

Regretted it.

And immediately regretted it.

This one's similar to blended it.

The double T in the middle of these two vowels in the word regretted sound like Ds,

just like in the word blended.

But blended actually has a D.

Here you see double T.

But when we have a T or double T in between two vowels, it sounds like a D sound.

Regretted it.

And then you can put the end D of regretted over onto the word it.

Regretted it.

I regretted it.

I tried to drink some more, but I just couldn't.

Tried to becomes try to.

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

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

All right guys, I hope that video was helpful.

173

Let me know in the comments what you think

174

or maybe what you would like me to specifically cover in next video's shadowing practice.

175

Don't forget to like the video, subscribe, share it with a friend who might find it useful, and I'll see you next time.

176

Bye for now!

177

I'm going to make a little bit more of a little bit more.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
