Hey guys!
2
In this video, we're going to work a little bit on our listening skills
3
and at the same time hopefully we'll learn some new vocabulary and also we'll work on our speaking skills.
4
Ready?
5
So with no further ado, let's start.
6
It's Anna and this is the English Fluency Journey.
7
It's not a secret that developing and improving listening skills is a hard task.
8
It takes time and effort, especially if you're not exposed to English.
9
So the only thing we can do is to listen as much as possible.
10
And it's not that easy because lacking of vocabulary and grammar, of course, gets in the way.
11
And apart from that, it's sometimes so hard to understand native speakers
12
because of the connected speech and reductions that they use all the time when they speak to speak faster and more naturally.
13
But because of those reductions, the language flows, sounds smoothly and not choppy and abrupt.
14
That's why in this video we're going to analyze a couple of fragments from one speech
15
and TV shows that we all love to watch so much.
16
To be honest, I can just binge watch TV series the whole weekend.
17
So this video is also going to help us to learn how how to sound more naturally ourselves.
18
First, let's watch a fragment from Mark Zuckerberg's, the founder of Facebook, Harvard Speech.
19
This is an incredible and passionate speech.
20
You'll find the link in the description.
21
So go ahead and watch it because it's great.
22
I was running late for class, so I threw on a t-shirt, and I didn't realize until afterwards that I put it on inside out and backwards, my tag was sticking out the front.
23
I couldn't figure out why no one in class would talk to me.
24
Now, let me tell you what is he saying.
25
I was running late for class, so I threw on a t-shirt, and I didn't realize it until afterwards that I put it on inside out and backwards,
26
and my tag was sticking out of the front, and I couldn't figure out why no one in class would talk to me.
27
So as you can hear, he connects everything together and he pauses and makes an emphasis on the important words for delivering the message.
28
And he reduces and connects all the rest of the words.
29
Let's listen to it again.
30
I was running late for class, so I threw on a t-shirt and I didn't realize until afterwards
31
that I put it on inside out and backwards and my tag was sticking out the front.
32
I couldn't figure out why no one in class would talk to me.
33
I was running late for class, so I threw in a t-shirt.
34
And I didn't realize it all afterwards that I put it on inside out
35
and backwards and my tag was sticking out at the front.
36
And I couldn't figure out why no one in class would talk to me.
37
So the words, and I didn't realize it until afterwards, he pronounced it so fast and so incoherent, it's like he swallows the sounds and blends them together.
38
And it sounds like, and I didn't realize it all afterwards.
39
People of course understand him, but for non-native speakers, it's a good way to train your ear, but you gotta know what you're hearing in the first place.
40
And also the words, and I put it on inside out and backwards, he pronounces very fast as well, because it's not that important for the message, so that's why he connects everything together.
41
Now, what I want you to do, I want you to practice to pronounce these words,
42
these connected words together, at least separately.
43
So, let's try.
44
And I didn't realize until afterwards, and I didn't realize until afterwards, you don't have to say these words not clear like he says them,
45
but it's important to practice at least to try to pronounce them fast.
46
And I didn't realize until afterwards.
47
And now that I put it on inside out and backwards, that I put it on inside out and backwards, a lot of flap T's,
48
that I put it on inside out and backwards, that I put it on inside out and backwards, it sounds like a tongue twister, a great tongue twister.
49
And this is what every native speaker usually does.
50
This is just a natural way of speaking.
51
And also it's important to know grammar because when people ask questions like what are you doing or what do you do,
52
the only difference is the words doing and doing.
53
All the rest sounds the same.
54
But in the first example, we're asking what are you doing, like right now.
55
And the other person knows that we're asking about right now because we use the ing form of the verb, the present participle in other words, with the auxiliary verb to be.
56
And the second question is, what do you do?
57
Like, what do you do for a living?
58
What is your occupation?
59
Now, let's listen to the native speakers asking this question.
60
What do you do?
61
What do you do?
62
What are you doing?
63
What are you doing?
64
So you can hear that the only difference is the words doing and do.
65
But of course, just to be clear, people can ask this question clearly, like, what are you doing?
66
What are you doing?
67
Or, what you doing?
68
What you doing? doing.
69
And also you can hear something like what'd you do last night?
70
What did you do last night?
71
What'd you do last night?
72
What'd you?
73
What'd you?
74
Or what's that mean?
75
What's that mean?
76
What does that mean?
77
What's that mean?
78
You can hear all of those reductions.
79
It's crazy.
80
I know.
81
To train your ear, I recommend you to do, let's call it an exercise.
82
I find it very effective.
83
So watch movies, TV shows in English with subtitles, but turn them on only when you don't understand something.
84
So pause the video, read the subtitles, listen to it again, try to hear all the reductions, repeat it, and if you don't know some words, look them up.
85
So let's listen to and analyze some more examples.
86
Sorry, I didn't mean that.
87
You wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it.
88
You wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it.
89
You wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it.
90
So you would not have said it if you didn't mean it.
91
you would not have becomes you wouldn't, you wouldn't a or you also can hear you wouldn't if you wouldn't have so you wouldn't have said it, if you didn't mean it.
92
Repeat it with me.
93
You wouldn't have said it, if you didn't mean it.
94
You wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it.
95
You wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it.
96
— Do you want to get your face painted like a pretty butterfly?
97
— No, I'm just not in the mood.
98
So he says, do you want to get your face painted.. like a pretty butterfly?
99
No...
100
I'm.. just not in the mood So, he says, do you want to get your face painted like a pretty butterfly?
101
Let's listen to it again Do you want to get your face painted like a pretty butterfly?
102
So.. do you want to get your face...
103
Painted like a pretty butterfly?
104
So, do you want to.. becomes do you wanna? do you wanna do you wanna?
105
And the word painted.. he pronounces like painted.. painted.. dropping the
106
T Do you wanna get your face painted like a pretty butterfly?
107
Let's try it with me.
108
Do you want to get your face painted like a pretty butterfly?
109
Do you want to get your face painted like a pretty butterfly?
110
And one last example.
111
You guys really think about getting a housekeeper?
112
Because, I mean, how would you feel about paying me to do it?
113
We're looking for somebody who's a little experienced.
114
Wow, did you hear that?
115
It's crazy how fast she pronounces those words.
116
And those are, are you guys really thinking of getting another housekeeper? housekeeper
117
because I mean how would you feel about paying me to do it?
118
So there is no a lot of reductions but she speaks
119
so fast and relaxed and connects everything together so it sounds like one huge word.
120
Are you guys really thinking about getting another housekeeper?
121
Are you guys really thinking about getting another housekeeper?
122
Because I mean how would you feel about paying me to do it?
123
You guys don't have to try to speak like that.
124
This is just so you are aware of how people might speak.
125
I'm telling you, that exercise works like a charm.
126
Pause the video, read the subtitles, and over some time you'll understand more and more.
127
Mark my word.
128
And of course, we haven't talked about all the spoken contractions, which, by the way, we don't use in formal writing, such as I'm a, I'm an a,
129
I'm gonna, I'm gotta, I have to, have to, and more.
130
The bottom line is that we have to train our ears, and we have to know what to look for and what to pay attention to when we're listening.
131
And I hope this video helps you to start noticing these things
132
and to become one step closer to understanding native speaker speaking patterns.
133
Thank you for watching everybody and of course don't forget to stay positive and motivated in your studies.

這堂課能幫你練什麼?
想同時提升英語聽力和口說?這堂課超適合你!我們會透過分析真實對話(比如臉書創辦人馬克·祖克柏的哈佛演講片段),學習母語者的連讀、弱讀技巧,還能順便累積實用詞彙。跟著練,不僅能聽懂更快的語速,還能讓自己的口說更自然流利,不管是日常對話還是雅思口语练习都好用!
必學詞彙與短語
- running late:趕時間、遲到
- threw on:隨便穿上(強調動作快)
- inside out:里外翻轉
- backwards:前後穿反
- tag was sticking out:標籤露出來
- figure out:弄明白、搞清楚
影子跟讀(shadow speak)實戰技巧
母語者說話時常會連讀、弱讀,比如影片中「and I didn't realize until afterwards」會變得很快,像「吞掉」部分音節。這時用英語影子跟读法超有效!練習時別急著「完全複製」,先跟著錄音分片段模仿:
- 第一步:聽清楚關鍵詞(如「running late」「tag」),抓準語調重點。
- 第二步:跟著說,專注連讀部分(比如「put it on inside out and backwards」),練習舌頭的靈活性,像繞口令一樣反覆說。
- 第三步:逐句加速,盡量貼近原速,感受「自然流暢」的節奏。
每天花10分鐘練shadowspeak,不管是看劇還是聽演講,都能快速提升聽力和口說。趕快打開影片,一起開始吧!
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。
