00:00:03
this is all about trying to help you
00:00:05

00:00:08

00:00:09
of why people speak the way they do and
00:00:12
if you would like to improve your
00:00:14
listening skills Please Subscribe turn
00:00:16
on notifications that way I can become
00:00:19
your teacher my name is Wes the channel
00:00:21
is interactive English it's all about
00:00:23
trying to help you reach your fluency
00:00:25
goals so I have several different clips
00:00:28
from movies and TV shows that we're
00:00:30
going to listen to and then we're just
00:00:32
really going to break it down and talk
00:00:34
about what's going on so let's begin and
00:00:36
listen to our first clip so you are
00:00:39
going to hear uh him say a couple of
00:00:42
different questions and to begin with I
00:00:44
just want you to listen to it uh a
00:00:46
couple of times what did you do how did
00:00:48
you how did you get this what did you do
00:00:50
how did you how did you get this so
00:00:52
let's talk about what's going on we have
00:00:55
these questions what did you do how did
00:00:58
you how did you get this but that's not
00:01:00
really what you hear the first thing I
00:01:02
want to say is that assimilation is
00:01:05
going to occur when we have that phrase
00:01:07
did you basically this is when two
00:01:09
sounds they blend together to create a
00:01:11
new sound so that final D and did in the
00:01:14
beginning Y and U when they blend
00:01:16
together you really get this J sound so
00:01:19
it's going to sound like did you what
00:01:21
did you do how did you how did you get
00:01:24
this the other thing I'd like to point
00:01:26
out is that there are some overlapping
00:01:28
sounds basically your tongue is going to
00:01:31
be in the same position in your mouth
00:01:33
and you're going to stop with one sound
00:01:36
and then release into the next one so
00:01:39
the final T and what we're going to stop
00:01:41
that flow of air and then release the
00:01:43
air into the D sound in did and when
00:01:46
that happens you're not really going to
00:01:47
hear that T it's going to sound like
00:01:50
what did you what did you do and even at
00:01:52
the end there get this we're going to
00:01:54
stop the air with that final T and get
00:01:57
and then release it into that voice t H
00:02:00
and this get this so in general it's
00:02:02
going to sound like this I've tried to
00:02:04
give you the phonetic spelling to make
00:02:06
it a little easier to see what's going
00:02:09
on what did you do how did you how did
00:02:12
you get this what did you do how did you
00:02:15
how did you get this now that you know
00:02:16
what's going on let's listen to it one
00:02:18
more
00:02:20
time what did you do how did you how did
00:02:22
you get this hopefully you can really
00:02:25
hear the blending of those two sounds
00:02:27
and you hear that J sound what did you
00:02:29
do how did you how did you get this
00:02:31
before we continue I'd like to make a
00:02:33
very quick announcement because if you
00:02:35
would like to practice and improve your
00:02:37
speaking skills you can check out my
00:02:40
speaking course there is a link Down
00:02:42

00:02:44
for intermediate to Advanced speakers
00:02:46
and it's all about trying to help you
00:02:48

00:02:50
speak naturally and and this these are
00:02:53
some of the things we work on when it
00:02:54
comes to pronunciation connected speech
00:02:58
and trying to understand why people
00:03:00
sound the way they do so check out that
00:03:03
link Down Below in the description if
00:03:05
you would like to improve your speaking
00:03:07
fluency let's continue with our next
00:03:11
clip right here so again we'll listen to
00:03:15
it a couple times and then we'll talk
00:03:16
about what's going on okay listen I'm
00:03:18
going to have to call you back it's it's
00:03:21
it's very fast okay listen I'm going to
00:03:23
have to call you back all right I want
00:03:25
you to listen to it again see if you can
00:03:27
pick out what he's saying okay this is
00:03:29
I'm going to have to call you back the
00:03:31
reason why I chose this is because I I
00:03:33
want to talk about reductions this is
00:03:36
when we are removing or changing sounds
00:03:39
and there are some very common
00:03:40
reductions that are often used in just
00:03:43
casual conversation so for example going
00:03:45
to we can reduce that to GNA and have to
00:03:49
we can reduce that to have to I'm going
00:03:52
to have to it's a little more
00:03:54
challenging when you have one reduction
00:03:57
following right after the other I'm
00:03:59
going to have to the other thing I want
00:04:01
to point out is when you have I'm going
00:04:03
to you could say I'm going to but we
00:04:06
could reduce this even further and it
00:04:09
may sound like I'm am I'm going to have
00:04:13
to call you back okay can you hear that
00:04:16
that reduction I'm going to have to call
00:04:17
you back so either one is okay
00:04:20
personally I think it's probably a
00:04:22
little more common for somebody to say
00:04:24
I'm goingon to instead of I'ma but
00:04:26
definitely this is something you will
00:04:28
hear if in just casual everyday English
00:04:32
I end up using it quite often I'm going
00:04:34
to go to the park I'm going to go to the
00:04:35
mall I'm going to get something to eat
00:04:37
I'm going to I'm I'm in this case I'm
00:04:39
going to have to call you back so let
00:04:41
let's listen to it again and really I do
00:04:43
think it's more of an I'm GNA but it
00:04:45
almost sounds like it's in between the
00:04:47
two but you can tell me what you think
00:04:49
so I'll play it a couple of times okay
00:04:52
listen I'm going to have to call you
00:04:53
back okay so now that you hear it
00:04:55
hopefully you can kind of hear that
00:04:57
going to have to going to have to okay
00:04:58
listen I'm going to have to call you
00:05:00
back if you want to try and say it at
00:05:01
the same time practice the the speaking
00:05:04
okay list I'm going to call you back all
00:05:07
right I think shadowing is always a good
00:05:08
way to just practice your your speaking
00:05:10
fluency the next clip that I have for
00:05:12
you is right here so again we'll listen
00:05:15
to it a couple times and then we'll talk
00:05:17
about what's going on I was up all night
00:05:18
thinking about it I think that you could
00:05:21
probably hear this and understand what's
00:05:23
happening I was up all night thinking
00:05:25
about it so let's look at what's going
00:05:27
on because there's a couple of things I
00:05:28
want to talk to you about in this um
00:05:31
clip he says I was up all night thinking
00:05:33
about it but again he's not really going
00:05:35
to say it like that because there are
00:05:37
well quite a few things that I want to
00:05:39
discuss the first thing is linking this
00:05:41
is when we link the final consonant
00:05:43
sound of one word with the beginning
00:05:45
vowel sound of the next word so we have
00:05:47
the phrase was up all we can link those
00:05:51
words together and it's almost like
00:05:52
we're moving that consonant sound over
00:05:55
and it's going to sound like was up all
00:05:57
was up all and then we also have
00:06:01
overlapping sounds when we end with that
00:06:04
dark L and all and then move right in to
00:06:07
the n Sound in night all night all night
00:06:11
I was up all night I was up all night
00:06:14
one thing I want to point out is that
00:06:16
sometimes with continuous tense verbs
00:06:18
the G gets dropped this is known as
00:06:20
gropping I think it's probably more
00:06:23
common in places like the US which is
00:06:25
where I'm from so once we drop that g we
00:06:29
can then link that n Sound with the
00:06:32
beginning vowel sound in about thinking
00:06:34
about and the final T in about I told
00:06:37
you I'm from the US so I am going to
00:06:39
pronounce it as a flap T it's going to
00:06:42
sound more like a soft D this often
00:06:44
occurs when the t comes between two
00:06:46
vowel sounds and then I can link that
00:06:49
flat t with the beginning vow sound in
00:06:51
it thinking about it thinking about it I
00:06:55
was up all night thinking about it you
00:06:57
can look at everything that's going on
00:06:58
there we have l ing overlapping sounds
00:07:01
gropping word linking and that flap T I
00:07:04
was up all night thinking about it so
00:07:06
it's pretty simple sentence but a lot
00:07:09
going on when it comes to Connected
00:07:11
speech I was up all night thinking about
00:07:14
it now that you know what's happening
00:07:16
let's let's listen to it again and see
00:07:19
if you can hear that linking but also
00:07:22
that flap te at the end I was up all
00:07:24
night thinking about it okay you can
00:07:26
hear that linking as well as that flat
00:07:29
te in about it I was up all night
00:07:31
thinking about it the next clip that I
00:07:33
have for you is well this is a little
00:07:35
challenging because she's speaking
00:07:37
really fast see if you can think about
00:07:39
the exact words that she's saying I
00:07:41
promise to go to the movies with him
00:07:43
next Saturday I'll I'll play it again I
00:07:45
promise to go to the movies with him
00:07:46
next Saturday this is very fast one more
00:07:48
time I promise to go to the movies with
00:07:50
him next Saturday so the sentence that
00:07:52
she's saying is right here I promise to
00:07:55
go to the movies with him next Saturday
00:07:58
what's happening to begin with there are
00:08:00
germinates this is when we have double
00:08:02
consonant sounds the final Ed and
00:08:04
promised all right ends with that t
00:08:07
sound which is the same as the consonant
00:08:09
sound in two promise to promise to go to
00:08:13
the I want to think about that phrase go
00:08:15
to the but I'm going to pronounce that t
00:08:18
as a flap T again it's very common with
00:08:21
the American accent go to the and I I
00:08:25
want you to think about that whole
00:08:26
phrase because it's common go to the
00:08:29
movie go to the cinema go to the park go
00:08:31
to the mall this is a phrase that ends
00:08:34
up getting used quite often and you're
00:08:36
going to hear that flap T then we have
00:08:39
Aion this is when sounds or syllables
00:08:41
get removed and this may occur with the
00:08:43
H in words like he him her or his and
00:08:47
it's almost like we're just muting that
00:08:49
H sound and if we turn the volume down
00:08:52
then linking may occur we're going to
00:08:54
link that voiceless th in with with that
00:08:58
vowel sound with them with them and even
00:09:02
that last phrase at the end next you
00:09:04
don't hear that t once again allision
00:09:07
occurs that t comes between two
00:09:09
consonants and we're just not going to
00:09:11
hear it next you can hear that it ends
00:09:14
with that s sound which is the same
00:09:16
consonant sound in Saturday another
00:09:18
germinate this just it just allows us to
00:09:22
easily transition from one word to the
00:09:24
next next Saturday so this is what it
00:09:28
sounds like I promise to go to the
00:09:30
movies with them next Saturday one more
00:09:32
thing that I'd like to point out is the
00:09:34
unstress 2 and when this word is
00:09:37
unstressed it's almost like that vowel
00:09:39
sound's going to get reduced and it may
00:09:41
sound a little more like the schah sound
00:09:43
that unstressed uh so instead of two it
00:09:47
may sound a little more like T and I I
00:09:49
tried to show you here that it's not
00:09:51
like you're only going to hear one or
00:09:53
the other it may be a spectrum and it
00:09:55
could come anywhere between so in the
00:09:58
end I think it's going to sound a little
00:10:00
more like this I promise to go to the I
00:10:04
promise to go to the movies with them
00:10:06
next Saturday and then if you want to
00:10:08
speed it up I promise to go to the
00:10:09
movies with them next Saturday so now
00:10:12
that you know what's happening let's
00:10:15
listen to it again and see if you can
00:10:17
identify pick out some of those things
00:10:18
we were just talking about I promise to
00:10:20
go to the movies with him next Saturday
00:10:22
play it one more time I promise to go to
00:10:23
the movies with him next Saturday so I
00:10:25
really hope that some of this makes a
00:10:27
bit more sense when thinking about why
00:10:30
people sound the way they do and if you
00:10:33
don't feel comfortable trying to make
00:10:35
this a part of your speaking fluency
00:10:37
that's perfectly okay but understanding
00:10:39
connected speech and some of the
00:10:42
different things we talked about it's
00:10:43
really going to help you improve your
00:10:46
overall listening comprehension so if
