English Speaking Course 2022: Pronunciation Secrets (Better Listening Too!)

1. Course Introduction: Here's the problem. When learning English pronunciation, it's very hard to find lessons which teach you natural English pronunciation. For example, when saying, What are you doing, a native speaker will normally say, what are you doing in fast and natural speech. So if you hear the sentence, what are you doing? You may not understand it because you've never learned natural English pronunciation. Textbooks and schools normally don't teach to this type of pronunciation. This is not good because in natural English, pronunciation is something you must learn if you want to speak English like a native speaker. And if you want to be easily understood when speaking English, It's also important if you want to easily understand English, because if you can't understand natural English pronunciation, how can you understand a native speaker when he is speaking quickly and naturally, you can't write. To learn natural pronunciation. You could watch hours and hours and hours of English TV to see how native speakers communicate with each other. But this could take you a very, very long time. That's why we made this course. We want to make learning natural English pronunciation very easy for you. We put all of the most common words, phrases, and sentences into one course, and we show you how native English speakers pronounce those words, phrases, and sentences when speaking naturally in fast conversation. That means it's all right here for you in one course. So you can use this course to learn and natural English pronunciation at anytime, in any place. Whenever you ask an English learner about pronunciation, they always say, it's hard. Well, I've got some good news for you. This is not true. Speaking English naturally, like a native speaker, is not difficult. It just takes time. You need to be taught the right way and you need to know how to speak English naturally when you know how, it's not difficult. Hi, I'm Shane. I'm an English teacher and I am here to help you to start speaking English more naturally. You can stop thinking. English pronunciation is hard. I studied law when I was at university, but then I went back to university to become an English teacher. Now I have been teaching English and helping students learn pronunciation for more than seven years. I've taught students from all over the world, as you can see in these pictures right now. And during that time, I have won several awards for my teaching. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading and learning new languages. At the moment, I am currently learning Chinese. So I know that when you're learning a new language, it can be frustrating when you are trying to speak like a native speaker. Now I want to help you start speaking English more naturally. So you can enjoy using English and get all of the benefits that come from being able to speak English fluently. So if you're ready to start learning to improve your pronunciation from a very experienced teacher who understands what it's like to learn a new language. I will see you in the next lesson. When you get to the main part of this course, there are three sections. Words, phrases, sentences. These sections, this is where you will learn to speak English more naturally. For each lesson in these sections, there will be less than a and less than, be. Less than a is where I show you how to pronounce certain language for that lesson. And I'll give you some explanations and examples in less than a, I want you to repeat to me when I am showing you how to pronounce the word, phrase or sentence, try to copy exactly what you hear. Forget your own accent and forget the sounds from your language. Just copy exactly what you hear. Less than b is where you listen and repeat the same language you learned in less than a, but less than B, there will be no explanations in less than b. I will just say the language and then you copy and repeat that language after me. Less than b is a short lesson, and you can use it as many times as you want to practice the pronunciation from that lesson. Think of less than b as a practice lesson. Just play the video, listened to my pronunciation, and then copy me. I made the course like this so you don't have to listen to the explanations. Again, if you want to practice your pronunciation of certain words, phrases, or sentences when using this course, please don't go to a new lesson until you are confident with the language from the current lesson. Once you are confident and you think you are pronouncing the language the same as me, then you can move to the next lesson. This is very important. If you want to get natural English pronunciation, you have to practice speaking correctly many times. So you can say those words, phrases, or sentences correctly without even thinking about practicing onetime is just not enough. So when you're watching the lessons, please practice your pronunciation. Please don't just sit there and watch the lessons practicing your pronunciation is going to help you start to get natural English pronunciation. 2. 1.1 Do You Know Who The Native Speaker Is?: You are going to see two people speaking English. One person is speaking English like a native speaker. One person is not speaking English like a native speaker. I want you to tell me who is speaking like a native speaker. Are you ready? Here we go. How have you been? I have not seen you for a while. What have you been up to? How have you been? I haven't seen you for awhile. What have you been up to? So who was the native speaker? Person two was the native speaker. So now I'll ask you a question. If you could speak English like a native speaker or not like a native speaker, which would you choose? Think about it because you can speak like a native English speaker if you know how. 3. 1.2 What Makes A Native Speaker Sound Like A Native Speaker : So I've talked a lot about sounding like a native speaker. But what makes a native speaker sound like a native speaker when it comes to pronunciation? Well, there are four main things. The most important thing to learn if you want to sound like a native speaker is connected speech. Native speakers use connected speech in most spoken sentences. This is what we mainly focus on in this course. You will learn about connected speech later, but just quickly, connected speech is when we add, remove, or change sounds. This is done to make English easier and quicker to speak. Let's have a look at a quick example. He answered. Try to say that. He answered. To make this easier, we add why sound between the E and the a? He answered. He answered. Try to say it now. He answered. So what do you think is easier to say? He answered or he answered the second one, right? That's why we use connected speech. High. The second most important thing is intonation. Intonation is how high or how low your voice is. Native English speakers use different intonations when speaking English. And if you use an intonation which is not correct, native speaker will know that you're not a native speaker. Don't worry because he will still be able to understand your meaning, but the sentence might sound a little bit strange. Here's a quick example of correct and incorrect intonation. Where have you been? This is the correct intonation. Where have you been? This is the incorrect intonation. One more time. Where have you been? Correct intonation? Where have you been incorrect intonation? In this course, you will be able to copy my intonation, so you will have the correct intonation when you speak English. I come from Ireland, I'm from Dublin. The third most important thing is accent. Many people say accent is not important when speaking English. This is not true. If someone has an accent which is hard to understand, is accent important? Yes, of course it is because the people that that person is speaking to can't understand him. When you're using this course. If you want to have an accent that is similar to mine, copy my accent, forget your own accent and copy mine. But if you want to have an accent that is not like mine, find an accent that you like and copy that accent. The fourth important thing is contractions. That contraction is a shorter way to say one word or two or more words. For example, you will learn in this course that Because becomes cars, where have becomes whereof, cause and aware of are both contractions and are often used in spoken English. Native speakers love using contractions because it allows them to speak easier and quicker. So if you want to sound like a native English speaker, it's important that you start to use contractions in your spoken English. 4. 1.3 Why You Should Learn To Speak Like A Native Speaker: Another question that you might have is, why should I learn to speak English like a native speaker? I can speak English already. Well, here are three reasons why you should learn to speak English like a native speaker. Do native English speakers understand each other when they are talking to each other? Yes, they do. Why? Because they are both speaking clear and natural. English. Speaking English clearly and naturally will help native English speakers easily understand you when you're speaking English, you will not have problems when you are communicating in English because you will be easy to understand. So when you speak English, would you rather native speakers easily understand you or look at you like this? It's up to you. Do you sometimes find it hard to understand English when native speakers speak quickly and naturally? Well, this may be because you have never learned natural English pronunciation. For example, later in the course, you will learn that is, he becomes easy. Easy. If you have not learned this, then you will not be able to understand this simple phrase. If you understand natural English pronunciation, you will have no problems in hearing the words that native English speakers use. So when you are trying to understand native English speakers, would you rather easily understand them, or would you rather have problems when you're understanding them, it's up to you. The third and final reason is that if you speak English like a native speaker, you will have more opportunities available to you. You will be able to apply for jobs that require native English speakers. You will be able to understand English movies and English TV shows. You will be able to do your hobbies in English. You'll be able to read English books and understand English content that is on the Internet. There are so many opportunities that will become available to you. In summary, you should learn to speak English like a native speaker. Native speakers easily understand you. You understand native speakers. And so you will have more opportunities with your English. 5. 1.4 QUICK TIP To Improve Speaking Skills (The TAFR Method): In this lesson, I'm going to show you a very simple four-step process that you can use to improve your English speaking skills. I use this when learning languages, and many of my students have used this method with great results. Let's look at step one. Step one, talk, talk to a native speaker. You can talk to anyone, but they must be a native speaker. It can be your friend, it can be your boss. It can be someone you meet on the street when he talked to this person. You can talk to them about any topic, but you must talk to them for a minimum of five minutes. Step to ask, ask the native speaker one question. What are the three things that make me sound like a native speaker? After you ask this, they will be able to give you some reasons as to why you don't sound like a native speaker. Step three, fix, fix those issues. Maybe you have a problem when you are pronouncing the CH or the SH sound in English, maybe you are using the wrong intonation when asking a question. The best thing about this method is that if you know why you don't sound like a native speaker, you can fix it. But if you don't know why, then you can't fix it. Step for repeat. Talk to another native speaker and ask him the same question. Find out why you don't sound like a native speaker and how you can fix up, keep doing this again and again and again, keep getting better and better and better. This is one of the best ways you can improve your English speaking skills and start to speak English like a native speaker. 6. 1.5 IMPORTANT! WATCH BEFORE STARTING COURSE: Before you start this course, there are a few important things that you need to know. The pronunciation that you learn in this course is for spoken English only. I will say that again, the pronunciation that you learn in this course is for spoken English only. That means you should only use it when you are speaking English. Do not use the pronunciation from this course when you are writing English, again, do not use the pronunciation from this course in written English. Now there is one exception. You can use contractions in written English. Contractions are words like he's, she's, and it's. But you will learn about contractions later in the course. So in summary, the pronunciation in this course is for spoken English only. You can use it when you're speaking, but do not use it when you're writing unless it's a contraction, but contractions are not normally used in formal written English. The pronunciation in this course is my accent. Millions of native English speakers have the same accent as me and use the same pronunciation is made, but many native speakers do not have the same accent as me and may say some things differently to me, and their pronunciation may be slightly different. I can only teach my own accent and pronunciation, but if you use the pronunciation that I teach you in this course, native English speakers will understand you. I have never had any native English speaker not understand my accent or my pronunciation. The pronunciation that I'm going to teach you in this course is normally for fast spoken English. That means you don't have to use it every time you speak English. You don't have to use it in every sentence. You can use it 50 per cent of the time you speak English, It's up to you. For example, you will learn later in the course that u is normally pronounced as year. But if I was speaking slowly and I wanted to emphasize a word or make it stronger, I would not say here, I would say the proper pronunciation. You, what you're doing. What are you doing? Yes. So again, the pronunciation in this course is normally used when speaking fast spoken English. It's normally not used when speaking English slowly. Now the purpose of this course is to teach you how native English speakers speak. When they are speaking quickly. Native speakers do not speak quickly all the time and in every sentence. So if you don't use the pronunciation that you learn in this course, in every sentence. That's okay, That's fine. In this course you will see the English spelling for words and the international phonetic alphabet spelling for words. The English spelling may not be the correct way to pronounce the word, but I'm just using it to help you see how the word should be pronounced. The International Phonetic Alphabet always has the correct pronunciation. That English spelling is just there to help you the International Phonetic Alphabet, we'll show you the correct pronunciation every time. The second last thing that you need to know about this course is that in English, there are always exceptions to the rules. That means rules are sometimes not correct 100% of the time if you're using a rule from this course and it doesn't feel right. You feel that something is wrong, just use a normal pronunciation for that word or that phrase. That's okay, That's fine. The last important thing you need to know is that in this course, I am speaking slowly to help you understand. When I'm speaking English to native English speakers, I speak quickly and I use the pronunciation that I'm going to teach you in this course. Okay, that is all the important information that you need to know about the course. Now you can go onto the next section and start improving your pronunciation. 7. 2.1 5 TIPS - #1 Slow Things Down At The Start: What are you doing? What are you doing? If I told you to repeat what I just said, could you do it? Probably not. Why? Because I spoke too quickly. That's why the first tip to improving your English pronunciation is pronounced the language slowly when you're first learning, what if I said what you doing? Could you copy what I said? Yes, probably because I set it slowly. So when you are practicing your pronunciation, practice slowly at the start. What are you doing? What are you doing? Then? You can practice saying it faster. What are you doing? What are you doing? If you can pronounce something slowly, you can probably learn to pronounce it quickly. 8. 2.2 - #2 Perfect Practice Makes Perfect: Many people say practice makes perfect. That means if you practice something, you will become perfect at that thing. But this is not true. Let me show you an example. Look at this word. If you practice saying this word and say English. English 100 times, yes, you have practiced but you were saying it wrong. You could practice saying this word 1 thousand times, but you are saying it wrong. So practicing like this does not help you get better. That's why practice does not always make Perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. If you practice saying something perfectly 100 times, then you will say that thing perfectly. When using this course, it's very important that you copy exactly what you hear. Forget your own accent. Forget the sounds from your language. Just try to copy exactly what you hear. Listen and copy. You should record yourself pronouncing the words and phrases from this course and compare your pronunciation to my pronunciation. If you sound the same as me, That's great. Well done. If you don't sound the same as me, that's okay too. Because now you know, and you can go back and practice again. 9. 2.3 - #3 B, P, G, K, D, & T At The End Of Words: Is this word pronounced cat or cat? Well, both are correct, depending on how fast you are speaking. If you are speaking slowly, you will probably say cat. You will pronounce that final t sound. If you are speaking quickly, you will probably say cat, and you won't aspirate the final t sound. If you don't aspirate something, you don't let the air out of your mouth. Cat. Cat. You see when I pronounce this word, I do not let the air out of my mouth. At the end of the word t0 is what we call a stop sound. We stop the air from coming out and then we release the air. The sixth stop sounds in English, but PER go. And when speaking English very quickly, most native speakers don't aspirate any of the six stop sounds when they are at the end of a word. Let me say that again. When they are at the end of a word, this helps speakers of English to speak easier, quicker, and more naturally. It's not that they don't pronounce the stop sound. They do pronounce the sound. They just do not let the air out of their mouth at the end. For example, tip. Tip. Here, I pronounced the sound, but I just didn't let the air out at the end of the word. If I didn't say the sound, then the word would sound like this. Tip. Here are some more examples. Repeat after me. Bulb, bulb, rub, rub, crab, crab, cap, cap, drop, drop type type, rag, rag, jug, jug, frog, frog, pack, pack, back, back. Attack. Attack. Bad, bad, cod, COD, bread. Bread. But bad. Cop, cop, stop. Stop. In all of these words, I do not let the air out. The last sound. Please note that there are some exceptions to the rules. For example, when saying a word that ends with a sound like Coast, or next, you need to aspirate the t sound, coast, coast. Next. Next. Another example is when saying the word bank, you need to say bank and aspirate the k sound. You can't say bang. 10. 2.4 - #4 Is It T Or D: Is this thing here pronounced water or water? Water with a t sound in the middle or water with a d sound in the middle? Well, both are correct. It depends on your accent. With my accent, I pronounce a lot of T's as Ds. Here are some examples. Bidder, I don't say bitter, better, I don't say better. Metal. I don't say metal. Notify. I don't say notify. Smarter. I don't say smarter. At the start of words and at the end of words, t is always pronounced as a T and D is always pronounced as a D. The t sound is normally only changed to a D sound if it's in the middle of a word between two vowel sounds, this is very important. The t needs to be between two vowel sounds. For example, water. The t is between the first vowel sound and the second vowel sound. Now look at this word out side. After the T, there is a d and d is a consonant sound. That means we can't change the t from a to a d sound. It must be pronounced as a T. So this word is pronounced outside. Outside. Note here that I am not aspirating the t and the d in this word. I don't say out side. I say outside, outside. 11. 2.5 - #5 -er becomes ... ?: Is this word pronounced teacher or teacher or teacher or teacher. With my accent, I say teacher in my accent. When there is an E or an OER at the end of a word is pronounced as in the schwa sound. Here are some more examples. Major, major. Doctor, Doctor, worker, worker, smoker, smoker, Sailor. Sailor, supervisor. Supervisor, photographer, photographer. 12. 3.1 CONNECTED SPEECH - What Is Connected Speech?: The sentence you see now is written English. It is how we write English. But just because we write it like this doesn't mean we say it. 13. 3.2A Types Of Connected Speech: I'll go this afternoon, this afternoon. This afternoon. What have I done here to connect the word this and afternoon? I have taken the S from this and put it to the start of afternoon. I didn't say afternoon. I said afternoon this afternoon. This afternoon. This is called catenation. Catenation is a very formal word in science, which just means joining two or more things together. So the rule when using catenation is that you need a consonant sound at the end of the first word and then a vowel sound at the start of the second word. You take the final consonant sound from the first word and put it at the start of the second word. Here are some more examples. I like this orange. This orange, this orange. You have cats or dogs. Cats or dogs. Cats or dogs. Give me that apple. That apple, that Apple. These animals are friendly. These animals, these animals. I went with a friend with, with. So remember, catenation is when you link a consonant sound to a vowel sound. What about when you have a word which ends with a vowel sound, and then the next word starts with a vowel sound. In this situation, we use something called intrusion. Intrusion. This means when we add an extra sound to help make the pronunciation easier, there are three main sounds you can add. You can add a sound, you can add a sound, or you can add a sound. Let's look at some examples. He saw a movie, Sauron. Sauron. There is a sound between saw and a. The last sound in saw is or, which is a vowel sound. And a is a vowel sound. That means there are two vowel sounds together, which is why we use intrusion. Do it, do it. Here, we add a worst sound. Do it, do it. Go out, go out. Here. We also add a word, sound, go out. Go out. He answered. He answered. Here we add a year sound. He answered. He answered. Do you like tea or coffee? Tea or coffee. Again, we add a year. Sound. Tea or coffee. Tea or coffee. Now, did you know that we can sometimes just remove sounds. This is called elision. We normally use elision when the first word ends in a consonant sound, the second word starts with a consonant sound, consonant plus consonant. Here are some examples. Most common becomes most common. Most common. Here we have removed the t. Used to, becomes used to, used to. Here we remove the d, which makes a sound. Must be, becomes, must be, must be. Here. We have removed the T. Didn't, he becomes didn't need didn't eat. Here we remove the final t sound in didn't. And we also remove the sound from he, didn't. He? Sometimes we can make a completely new sound, which isn't in any of the words that we are pronouncing. This is called assimilation. Assimilation. This normally happens when two consonant sounds are next to each other, and it's really difficult to pronounce them both. Or it sounds a bit funny to remove one of them. In this case, we make a new sound. Here are some examples. Don't you becomes, don't you? Don't chew. Meet you, becomes meet you meet you. Did you becomes did you did you it can also become deja. Deja. Would you would you would you. It can also become, okay, We're finally here. We've got two. The last type of connected speech. The last type of connected speech is very easy. When two of the same consonant sounds are next to each other, we only pronounce one of those sounds. This is called germination. Here are some examples. Social life becomes social life. Social life. We just say that sound. Once I want to becomes, I want to, I want to. You see how we only pronounce the sound once. Okay, here's a quick summary of the five types of connected speech. Remember these rules and practice them. They are very important. 14. 3.2B Practice (Listen And Repeat): I like this orange. This orange. This orange. You have cats or dogs. Cats or dogs. Cats or dogs. Give me that apple. That apple, that Apple. These animals are friendly. These animals, these animals. I went with a friend with whither. He saw a movie, Sauron. Sauron, do it, do. Go out. Go out. He answered. He answered. Do you like tea or coffee? Tea or coffee? Most common. Most common. Used to. Used to must be. Must be. Didn't he? Didn't eat? Don't you? Don't you meet you. Meet you. Did you did you would you would you social life? Social life. I want to I want to. 15. 3.3A Common Examples With 'Him': Now let's look at some common examples of connected speech with a very common word in English. Heme. Heme is the objects for heat. Let's start with these three words. First, ask coal to ask him. Call him. Tell him, did you see what I did that when I was saying these three phrases? Listen one more time. Ask him. Call him. Tell him when using him with these three words. I don't say the h sound from him. I just join him to the start of the first word. Listen one more time. Ask him. Call him. Tell him. Now let's look at some examples in some sentences. Ask him where the dog is. Ask him where the dog is. Call him right now. Call him right now. Tell him the good news. Tell him the good news. Let's look at using three more common words with him. No meat, and find knowing median. Find him no im, Medium. Find him. The rule is the same as the previous words. We don't say that sound from him and we join him to the word that we're using. And please note that with meat him, I changed the t sound to a D sound. I say medium. I don't say me, Tim. Okay. One more time. Say it with me. Know him. Medium. Find him. I know him. I know him. I need to meet him. I need to meet him. You need to find him. You need to find him. Three more examples shown here. Help, show here. Help. Show him. Hear him. Help him one more time. Say it with me. Show him hear him, help him again. The rule is the same as the previous words. I think you should show him. I think you should show him. Did you hear him? Did you hear him? Can you help him? Can you help him hear? It gets even more interesting. Let's look at using C with him. See him, seem. See him. What have I done to make the pronunciation easier? Listen one more time. See him. See him. I've added a sound between C and him. I've added a year sound, and I have removed the H sound from him. Listen one more time. Cm, CM. Cm. You need to see him. You need to see him. Let's talk about using two with him. We will use listen and speak as examples. Listen to him. Speak to him. Listen to him. Speak to him. What have I done here? Listen one more time. Listen to him. Speak to him. I have changed the H sound in the world, him to a w sound. Listen to him, speak to him. So whenever you have two before him, change the h sound to a w sound, practice with me. Listen to him. Speak to him. Listen to him. Speak to him. One more important word. Give give him. Give him. What have I done here? Again, I have just removed the H sound from him and said Give him give him give him a car, give him the keys, give him a house. So in summary, when a word before him ends in a consonant sound, you normally don't have to say that H sound from him. It can be any word and noun, an adjective, a verb. Ask him, Tell him colon. Now when using the word to before him, you just change the H2, a w sound. For example. Listen to him, speak to him, give it to him, give it to him. Easy, right. 16. 3.3B Practice (Listen And Repeat): Ask him call him tell him ask him where the dog is. Asked him where the dog is. Call him right now. Coal him right now. Tell him the good news. Tell him the good news. No, im Medium. Find him. I know him. I know him. I need to meet him. I need to meet him. You need to find him. You need to find him. Show him hear him, help him. I think you should show him. I think you should show him. Did you hear him? Did you hear him? Can you help him? Can you help him? See him? See him? You need to see him. You need to see him. Listen to him. Speak to him, give him give him give him a car, give him the keys, give him a house. 17. 3.4A Common Examples With 'Her': Now let's look at some more common examples of connected speech with the word her. Her is the object for sheet. When using the word hurt, the rules are very similar as to when you're using the word him. So normally when a word before her ends in a consonant sound, you normally don't need to say the h sound from her. For example, asker, color. Teller. Say it with me. Asker, color. Teller. Ask her where the cat is. Ask her where the cat is. Color today. Kohler, today. Tell her the bad news. The bad news. No, meat. Find knower. Meter. Find a knower. Meter. Finder. Again, the rule is the same. We don't say the h sound, we just say and add it to the word before it. And note here that with meat, I don't say meter with a t sound. I say meter with a d sound. One more time. Practice with me. Nowhere. Meter. Find a knower. Meter. Finder. I know her. I know where they need to meet her. They need to meet her. He needs to find a. He needs to find a. Now let's look at using C with her. Sir. See here, what have I done here? You should know if you watched the last lesson, the rule is the same as when we're using him. Just change the height h to a y sound. Seer. Seer. Practice with me. Seer, seer. He needs to see her. He needs to see her. Now let's talk about using two with her. We will use listen and speak as examples. Listen to her. Speak to her. Listen to her. Speak to where the rule is the same when we're using to before her, we change the pH to a W. Listened to her speak to her, say it with me. Listen to her, speak to her. Let's look at give again. Give a give a giver. Again, the rule is the same. We simply remove the H sound. Give a, give a practice with me. Give her a key. Give her a drink. Give a red car. In summary, when you have a word which ends in a consonant sound before her, you normally remove the H sound from her. Ask her, tell her giver when using the word to before her enormous change the h sound from her into a w sound. Listen to speak to her. Listen to speak to her. Easy, right. 18. 3.4B Practice (Listen And Repeat): Asker. Color her. Ask her where the cat is. Ask her where the cat is. Color today. Color today. Tell her the bad news. The bad news. Nowhere. Meter, finder. I know where I know where they need to meet a need to meet her. He needs to find a he needs to find a seer. Seer. He needs to see her. He needs to see her. Listened to her, speak, to her, give give give. Give her a drink, give a red car. 19. 3.5A Common Examples With 'Them': When using the word them, normally, you don't have to say the t sound. If the word before them ends with a consonant sound, you can just say. Let me show you what I mean. Let's use the word ask. Ask them too slow. Let's say it a little bit faster. Ask them. Ask them. Ask them. Did you see what I did there? I removed the th sound and I joined the k sound to the e sound. Ask him. Ask him, say it with me. Asked him. This is the same with most words that end in a consonant sound. If you use that word before them, you normally don't have to say that th sound from them. Let's look at some more examples.

For example, you will learn that bean is often pronounced as been. It's helpful to think of bean as the strong form of the word. This means you can clearly hear each sound from the word. The pronunciation is strong, clear, and you pronounce every sound being is the weak form of the word. You can't clearly hear every sound of the word. The pronunciation is softer and it's not as clear. We normally use the strong form of a word when we are saying that word by itself, when we are emphasizing that word, or when we want the listener to be able to hear every sound, we normally use the weak form of a word if the word isn't important or if the speaker is speaking quickly. For example, I want some apples and oranges. In this sentence, I used the strong form of every word. This is making each word clear and easy to hear. I want some apples and oranges. One more time. I want some apples and oranges. This is using some of the weak forms of words. This makes some of the words harder to understand, like some and end. But the most important words in the sentence I said with the strong form, those words are apples and oranges. Those words are said clearly and they are easy to hear. Let me say it again. I want some apples and oranges. I want some apples and oranges. This is very important to remember because if you say every sentence with the strong form of words, your pronunciation will sound not natural. So remember to think about strong forms and weak forms when you are learning the pronunciation in this course. 22. 4.2A Words Part 1: Okay, let's get started. Remember, this is video a, which has some explanations. Video B will have the same words from this lesson, but there'll be no explanations. You can use that lesson to just listen and repeat. Remember, repeat after me when I'm showing you the natural English pronunciation for these words. This will help you to improve your pronunciation and get the most benefit from this course. A becomes, we use the schwa sound when we say a very quickly. And we use the weak form. A dog, a dog, a bottle, bottle, a chair, a chair. And becomes an again, we use the schwa sound when we're speaking quickly and using the weak form of N. And an apple. An apple, an elephant, an elephant, an umbrella. An umbrella. And becomes, we don't say that final d sound at all when we say end very quickly. Efficient chips, fish and chips, coke and Pepsi. Coke and Pepsi. Dogs and cats. Dogs and cats. Because becomes cos Cause because it's often shortened to cause in fast spoken English. Cause, cause, cause it's a good movie. Because it's a good movie. Because I like chicken. Because I like chicken. Because he's a soccer player. Because he's a soccer player. Bean becomes, been, been. That e sound is changed to an e sound. Been been, have you been well have you been well, being busy today? Been busy today. He's been to the restaurant. He's been to the restaurant. But becomes but but you don't aspirate that final t sound. You need to say the t sound, but you just don't let the air come out of your mouth at the end of the word. So don't say, but don't say, bye. Say. But but one more time. But I like tea, but not coffee. I like tea, but not coffee. He will go, but he wants to go early. He will go, but he wants to go early. She has white shoes, but she doesn't have black shoes.

We will look at Ken first, then we will look at count, then we will compare them both. So you can see here and understand the difference. Can becomes that at sound changes to an, a sound, the schwa sound. Can. Can, I can swim? I can swim. He can dance. He can dance. Can you speak English? Can you speak English? Can't, becomes, can't. Count. That last T sound is not aspirated. You still need to say the t sound, but you just don't let the air out at the end of the word. Don't say, Can't, don't say. Can. Say can, can practice with me one more time. Can I can't swim? I can't swim. He can't dance. He can't dance. Cotton, you speak English? Cotton you speak English. Can't. What did you hear? What did you hear? Can you hear the difference between these two sounds? The main difference is the vowel sound in can. The vowel sound is an app, if said normally with the strong form and the vowel sound isn't. If said in the weak form, can, can, can, can has a different vowel sound. The vowel sound for Khan is con. Con. Con. I can swim. I can't swim. He can dance. He can't dance. Can you speak English? You speak English. Can you hear and understand the difference now? If yes, you can go to the next lesson.

We will look at do first, then we will look at don't. And then finally we will look at the difference between do and don't. So you can hear and understand the difference between these two words. Do can sometimes become the de, that sound changes to an a sound, the schwa sound. When using do as a main verb, you should use the strong form of the pronunciation. Do, do. Do you like learning English? Do you like learning English? Here? Do is an auxiliary verb. The main verb is like, I want to do my homework. I want to do my homework. We don't say here why? Because do is a main verb in the sentence. So if you're not sure whether to say or do, just say Do, Don't, becomes don't. Don't. That final t sound is not aspirated. We need to say the t sound, but you just don't let the air come out of your mouth at the end of the word, do not say or don't. Say, don't, don't. It's very important that you say the t sound, but just don't aspirate the sound. Don't don't. I don't wanna go. I don't want to go. They don't eat breakfast. They don't eat breakfast. Don't you like tea? Don't you like tea? Don't. What did you hear? What did you hear? What did you hear? Can you hear the difference between these two words? The biggest difference is that du has a long sound, has a long sound, do, don't. But if you say Do fast and more naturally, it sounds like the, the, it uses the schwa sound. Do you like learning English? Don't you like learning English? What do you think? What don't you think? I do want to go? I don't want to go. Now, I hope you can hear and understand the difference between these two words. If you can, please go to the next lesson, if you can't, please watch this lesson again, because it's very important, you can hear and understand the difference between these two words. 27. 4.4B Practice (Listen And Repeat): The the do do.

I don't want to go. 28. 4.5A Words Part 2: This is part two of the words section of the course. Four becomes four. Again, we use that schwa sound. The schwa sound is very common in English, so it's very important you say it correctly. Practice with me for one more time. For for me, for me. For him. For him. For you. For you. Go wing becomes going. Going, going. We change that sound to sound and note. We don't say go in. Go in. The correct pronunciation is going go and it's like there's a w sound between the goal and the N. Going, going, going, going. Where are you going? Where are you going? You shouldn't be going. You shouldn't be going. Another important and common word just becomes, just, just one more time. Just, we don't pronounce that final t sound at all.

Next word, not, not becomes not, not. We don't aspirate the final t sound. You need to say the t sound, but as you know, you don't let the air out. So don't say or not. Say not. Not. Practice with me. Not, not here. Not here. Not hungry or not hungry. Not good, not good. All becomes of, of, of, again, we use the schwa sound of of a friend of mine. A friend of mine.

So here are the three most important things that you need to remember. One, when there is a consonant sound at the end of a word and the next word starts with a vowel sound. You can normally join those two sounds together. For example, these are, becomes, these are, these is a consonant sound and R is a vowel sound. So that means we can join those two sounds together and it just becomes one sound. These are another example. Some of becomes, some of some of some of it just sounds like one sound. Some of this is one of the simplest and most important things that can help you to speak English more naturally like a native speaker, here is how you can practice. Find something to read in English. Read a sentence very slowly. When you get to the end of a word, don't stop pronouncing the last sound. If it's a consonant sound, and join that sound to the first sound of the next word. If the first sound is a vowel sound. If the first sound of the next word is a consonant sound, stop pronouncing the last sound of the first word, and keep reading. Let me show you an example. Look at this sentence. I will read it for you very slowly. These are row only some of the words you need to learn. Let me read it one more time but a bit faster. These are only some of the words you need to learn. Now, I'll read it at normal speed. These are only some of the words you need to learn. So you can see where I joined the consonant and vowel sounds together and where I could not join some sounds. The second most important thing to help you speak English more naturally is to not aspirate the stop sounds in English when they are at the end of a word. For example, don't say it's cold out. Side. Say it's cold outside. It's cold outside. It's cold out side. Cold out side. For these three words, I do not let the air come out of my mouth for the final sound. Remember the six main stops sounds in English. Per car. Go, duh, enter. Three, use contractions. Using contractions will help you to speak English faster, easier, and more. Naturally. Contractions are words like he's, she's, and it's, but please note that when speaking and writing very formal English, it's better not to use contractions. There's one more important thing to remember. It's just one word. Relax. Have fun with English and have fun speaking English. You don't have to speak perfect English. So you get the benefits out of being able to speak English. It's okay if you don't speak English perfectly every time. And it's okay if you make a mistake or don't say something exactly like a native speaker, relax, have fun with English and enjoy it. If you remember anything from this course, please remember these four things. These basic things are very important and they will help you to speak English more naturally. And like a native English speaker. 51. 9.2 What To Do Next: Congratulations. Now you know how to speak English, more like a native speaker, you should feel very proud of yourself, because many English learners never learn to speak English like this. Many students who learn English study English for many, many years, but never learned to speak English at a very high level. So what should you do? Now? The first thing I want to say is that this course is not designed to be used only one time. This course is designed to be used again and again and again. You should use this course to practice your natural English pronunciation, practice, practice, practice. You can never get enough practice. The second thing you should do is watch native English speakers when they are speaking to each other. This will help you to learn even more natural English pronunciation. This will also help you to see how native English speakers use English in real life. Now that you know how to speak English more naturally, when you're listening to native English speakers speak, you will hear native English speakers using this natural pronunciation. The third thing you should do is use what you have learned. Use the natural English pronunciation that you learned in this course. For example, if you're speaking to a native speaker, Don't say, What are you doing. Say, What are you doing? Don't say out side, say outside. Outside. Don't say he is. Say he's a, he's a, remember, if you practice perfectly, you will be able to speak English perfectly without even thinking about it. And that should be the goal of language learning. You should be able to use that language like a native speaker without even thinking about it. It should be automatic. Learning English never ends. So keep practicing, keep getting better. Enjoy using English and enjoy all of the amazing opportunities that you can get from being able to speak English.
