1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, let's look at the connected sounds in a short answer
4
where you're saying what you tried for the first time at a restaurant.
5
Let's take a look.
6
It seems crazy now.
7
It seems crazy.
8
So here the T will turn into a glottal stop.
9
It seems.
10
It seems crazy.
11
At the beginning of the sentence, the whole word it, because it's such a short
12
and common word gets reduced quite a lot and it blends with the next word.
13
It seems, it seems crazy, it seems crazy now, it seems crazy now, but I was already in college,
14
but I, we tap that t in but, but I was, was.
15
We reduce that uh in was, and that's just a very short quick uh sound.
16
But I was already in college.
17
Connect the in with the sound in college.
18
But I was already in college, already in college, the first time I had boba.
19
The first time.
20
The first time I had boba.
21
So here the two T sounds in first time connect.
22
The first time I had boba.
23
I'd never heard of it.
24
I'd never.
25
So we're going to put that D and the N together, and it's called a nasal release.
26
It's the N coming out of your nose as your tongue is saying D.
27
I'd nn.
28
I'd never.
29
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
30
Heard of it at all.
31
We're going to connect all of these short words here.
32
Of it at all.
33
The word at gets kind of reduced to something sounding quite a lot like the word It.
34
Heard of it at all.
35
Heard of it at all.
36
Heard of it at all.
37
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
38
When nigh connect the nuh to the i sound, and was also gets that same reduced vowel.
39
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
40
The city I grew up in didn't have, didn't have.
41
Glottal stop there with the T before the H.
42
Didn't have.
43
The city I grew up in didn't have much in the way.
44
Much in the.
45
So we connect the N and the TH together. In the.
46
Didn't have much in the way of Asian food or dessert places.
47
Asian food or dessert places.
48
Now here this word or I could choose to break up the sentence and add some emotion to it, Asian food or dessert places,
49
or I could link them together and I could say Asian food or dessert places.
50
If I link them together and I don't give any emotion to the sentence, or turns into er.
51
Asian food or dessert places, Asian food or dessert places.
52
So here, dessert, there's a glottal stop there for the t, dessert places, dessert places back then.
53
I remember being really surprised.
54
I remember.
55
So here, I remember.
56
That first syllable in remember gets kind of reduced or blended with I.
57
I remember.
58
I remember.
59
I remember.
60
I remember being really surprised.
61
Really is the reduced form of really, and most people use really in connected speech.
62
I remember being really, really surprised when I...
63
Surprised when I...
64
Connect that D and the W there.
65
Surprised when I...
66
It sounds kind of funny to connect it with no words around it.
67
Really surprised when...
68
Surprised when I tried boba.
69
Tried boba.
70
In the same way, we're going to connect D and B here.
71
Tried boba.
72
Tried boba.
73
Tried boba for the first time.
74
For turns into for.
75
Tried boba for the first time.
76
Connect the T and the T there again.
77
First time.
78
I was like.
79
I was like.
80
So here was connects to I, and the vowel in was gets reduced.
81
It's much shorter.
82
I was like, I was like, I was like, do you eat these little pearls? Do you? Do you?
83
So here, d is the reduced form of do.
84
Do you eat becomes do you eat? Do you?
85
Do you eat?
86
Do you eat?
87
Do you eat these?
88
So we want to connect you and eat.
89
We do that with a little wha sound.
90
You, you eat, you eat these.
91
Then we take the tea in eat and turn that into a glottal stop.
92
Do you eat these little pearls?
93
Do you eat these little pearls?
94
Do you just only drink the tea?
95
Do you just, just, just, so just, the uh sound turns into something closer to I.
96
Just, just, do you just only drink the tea?
97
Also, the tea in just disappears in fast speech.
98
Do you just, do you just, do you just only drink the tea?
99
Only drink the tea?
100
What are you supposed to do?
101
What are you supposed to do?
102
So here, what are you turns into what are you?
103
What are you supposed to do?
104
Here, supposed, supposed drops that I from the first syllable.
105
Supposed becomes sposed.
106
What are you supposed to do?
107
Sposed.
108
Connect the D and the T here.
109
Supposed to.
110
And we reduce the vowel in two, but then we have the full vowel for do.
111
What are you supposed to do? To do.
112
What are you supposed to do?
113
In this video, I'll read the text twice.
114
First, with all the natural sound changes, but at a lower speed.
115
Then, at a normal speed with all the sound changes again.
116
Let me know in the comments which one you like.
117
Are you looking for a single course that explains all the connected speech rules, plus gives you thousands of sentences to practice with?
118
I've put together a full pronunciation course, focused exactly on how American English really sounds.
119
Believe me, this has been a huge amount of research on my end, and it's full of all the little details that they never tell you in textbooks.
120
All you have to do is follow along and let the repetition do the work.
121
I'll put the link in the description, but now let's get back to the video.
122
It seems crazy now, but I was already in college the first time I had boba.
123
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
124
The city I grew up in didn't have much in the way of Asian food or dessert places back then.
125
I remember being really surprised when I tried boba for the first time.
126
I was like, do you eat these little pearls?
127
Do you just only drink the tea?
128
What are you supposed to do?
129
It seems crazy now, but I was already in college the first time I had boba.
130
It seems crazy now, but I was already in college the first time I had boba.
131
I'd never heard of it at all when I was growing up.
132
The city I grew up in didn't have much in the way of Asian food or dessert places back then.
133
I remember being really surprised when I tried boba for the first time.
134
I was like, do you eat these little pearls?
135
Do you just only drink the tea?
136
What are you supposed to do?
为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
通过这个视频进行口语练习，可以让你在真实的交流情境中提高英语表达能力。视频中，发言者分享了他第一次尝试某种食物的经历，这让学习者能够在愉快的叙述中掌握如何用英语描述自己的经历。同时，利用英语影子跟读技巧，可以帮助你更好地掌握语音及语调，提高口语流利度。通过观看并模仿，学习者能够在日常对话中变得更加自信，灵活应对各种场合，例如雅思口语练习中的自我介绍或点单情景。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
在这个视频中，发言者使用了多种重要的语法结构，以下是一些关键的句型分析：
- 它似乎疯狂 (It seems crazy) - 这个结构用于表述个人感受，强调某种体验的感知。
- 我从未听说过 (I'd never heard of it) - 这是一个典型的过去完成时的用法，用于描述过去的经历。
- 没有很多 (Didn't have much) - 使用否定形式，简单明了地表达缺乏或不足的概念。
- 那是我第一次 (The first time I had) - 强调某个特定时刻的表述，为叙述增添层次感。
常见发音陷阱
视频中有几个容易让学习者困惑的发音。了解并练习这些发音，可以有效提升口语表达能力：
- Glottal Stop (喉塞音) - 在“it seems”和“didn't have”等词汇中，发音时的停顿有时会导致发音不清楚，学习者需要注意这个发音特征。
- 弱读和连音 - 短词如“it”和“at”在快速对话中可能会连接成如“it seems”、“of it”等，学习者可以通过shadow speak练习，加强对连音的理解。
- 鼻音和辅音结合 - “I'd never”中的D和N发音结合，可能对非母语者造成困难，练习鼻音释放技巧，有助于改善发音流畅度。
通过这些分析和练习，不仅能帮助学习者掌握发音技巧，还能提升雅思口语练习的实际应用能力。在不断的练习中，找到适合自己的学习方法，将是提升英语口语表达的关键。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
