00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:02.000
a marriage story

2
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:04.400
a great movie to learn english with the

3
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:07.200
pace is good the conversation is frank

4
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.880
today we're going to take a scene from

5
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.200
this movie and do a full in-depth

6
00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:13.599
analysis of everything that's said

7
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.839
looking at how it's pronounced why it

8
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.880
sounds american and go over idioms too

9
00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:20.880
studying english this way will help your

10
00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:23.119
listening comprehension and it will also

11
00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:25.039
help you understand how to sound more

12
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.080
natural speaking english

13
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.000
first let's watch the whole scene

14
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.360
then we'll do our in-depth analysis

15
00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:39.040
henry's teacher wants to meet with us

16
00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:41.360
you mean his la teacher can you uh

17
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:44.000
answer the email so we could set a time

18
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.559
yeah i've been distracted

19
00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:48.159
i understand

20
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:49.360
i just want to rule out everything you

21
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:51.199
know with this reading i just think he's

22
00:00:51.199 --> 00:00:53.120
a little over anxious i think he wants

23
00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:54.320
it too much

24
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.559
he said he's off the charts in math he

25
00:00:56.559 --> 00:00:58.160
quits too easily when things aren't easy

26
00:00:58.160 --> 00:00:59.520
for him you know he's i guess he's

27
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.120
stubborn

28
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:02.719
he's still a lousy monopoly player

29
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.000
because he tries to save all his money

30
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.360
and now the analysis

31
00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:11.119
henry's teacher wants to meet with us

32
00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:13.040
what are our most stressed syllables in

33
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.959
this phrase everything links together

34
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.119
really smoothly but we have some peaks

35
00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:19.040
where the melody goes up

36
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.040
henry's teacher wants to meet with us

37
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.119
henry's teacher wants to meet with us

38
00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:25.040
henry's teacher wants to meet with us

39
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.759
henry's

40
00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:29.280
teacher i'm feeling a lot of stress

41
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:30.240
there

42
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:34.159
teacher wants to meet with us

43
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.400
listen again and notice how every word

44
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.479
slides right into the next word with no

45
00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:41.200
breaks this linking is really important

46
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.438
to the character of american english

47
00:01:43.438 --> 00:01:45.520
henry's teacher wants to meet with us

48
00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:47.680
henry's teacher wants to meet with us

49
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.680
henry's teacher wants to meet with us

50
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.560
so after the peak of stress on teach

51
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.399
we have three syllables

52
00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:56.159
sure ones to

53
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.479
that are flattering pitch said more

54
00:01:58.479 --> 00:01:59.920
quickly

55
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.640
once to the word two reduces it's not

56
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.280
two it's to with the schwa

57
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.239
wants to once to wants to wants to

58
00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:10.560
everyone

59
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.440
teacher wants to meet with us then we

60
00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:16.639
have a stop t in meet that's because the

61
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.560
next word begins with the w

62
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.919
so it's not meet with but it's meat with

63
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.040
meat with that tiny little break little

64
00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:28.000
lift is what we feel as the tea meet

65
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:29.360
with us

66
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.879
meet with us

67
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:32.000
meet with us

68
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.120
meet with us

69
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.519
meet with us you mean his l.a teacher

70
00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:37.840
what about this next question what

71
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.360
happens with the melody

72
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.120
you mean his l.a teacher

73
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.879
you mean his la teacher

74
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.639
you mean his la teacher

75
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.680
you mean his a little bit of up down

76
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.760
shape there you mean his la teacher then

77
00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:54.480
we have most of our stress on a whenever

78
00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:56.879
we have an acronym like this

79
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.000
where we're saying the letters la

80
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.280
jfk etc it's always the last letter that

81
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.400
gets the most stress

82
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.440
lay teacher we're going up in pitch it's

83
00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:11.360
a yes no question

84
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.639
and those usually go up in pitch but

85
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:16.879
since it's going up in pitch rather than

86
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.120
feeling the stress as an up down shape

87
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.879
it's sort of the opposite la

88
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.000
teacher it's a scoop down and then up

89
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.599
you mean his l.a teacher

90
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.360
you mean his la teacher

91
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.120
you mean his l.a teacher

92
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.000
you mean his l.a teacher can you uh can

93
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.200

94
00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:38.799
can you

95
00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:41.760
that little utterance very smooth no

96
00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:44.159
breaks in the voice

97
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.599
can you uh and we have that peak on you

98
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.879
the word can is not can it's

99
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.560
i would write that with the schwa said

100
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.640
very quickly

101
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:55.760
can you

102
00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:56.959

okay back to the analysis

116
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:24.400
can you uh

117
00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:25.600
can you uh

118
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.320
can you uh uh this is the uh as in

119
00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:30.639
butter vowel and it's the sound that

120
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.639
americans make when we're thinking uh

121
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.160
um

122
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:37.680
for example

123
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:38.880
can you uh

124
00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:40.160
can you uh

125
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.199
can you uh answer the answer the

126
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.199
then she does a little break here either

127
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.960
because she's drinking or while she's

128
00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:48.880
thinking

129
00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:50.560
answer the

130
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.880
so anne is the most stressed syllable

131
00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:56.240
and the two unstressed syllables sir the

132
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.919
just sort of fall down and pitch from

133
00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:00.560
that peak the letter w there's no w

134
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.360
sound here answer the

135
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.800
answer the

136
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.160
enter the

137
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:07.440
enter the

138
00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:08.560
enter the

139
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.400
the word answer

140
00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:12.720
will be written phonetically with the a

141
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.039
vowel and then n

142
00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:17.360
but when at is followed by n it's not

143
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.240
quite pure that would be a an

144
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.520
an

145
00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:23.919
an answer and that's not how we say it

146
00:05:23.919 --> 00:05:27.120
we say answer so the back of the tongue

147
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.279
relaxes we move through a sound that's

148
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.359
sort of like the uh as in butter sound

149
00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:35.600
answer

150
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.120
answer the

151
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.479
enter the

152
00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:39.839
enter the

153
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.279
enter the email email email

154
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.560
going up stress on e

155
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.360
email

156
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.400
so we can set a time

157
00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:53.039
and then intonation goes up

158
00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:55.120
it's almost like this is a question and

159
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.360
then the second half is also a question

160
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:58.960
email

161
00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:00.160
email

162
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.919
so we can set a time

163
00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:03.680
email so we could set a time

164
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.440
email so we could set a time

165
00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:07.839
email so we could set a time the l in

166
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.639
email is a dark l

167
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.720
it comes after the diphthong in that

168
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.720
syllable

169
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.400
and you don't need to lift your tongue

170
00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:20.400
tip for this dark l email

171
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.400
keep your tongue tip down that will help

172
00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:24.160
you focus on the tongue position it's

173
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:25.600
the back of the tongue that makes that

174
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:26.800
dark sound

175
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.400
don't round your lips

176
00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:29.919
a lot of people want to make something

177
00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:32.560
sort of like email where the front part

178
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.240
of the mouth makes the sound and then it

179
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.720
sounds sort of like o or a w sound but

180
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.880
it should be oh

181
00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:40.960
a dark sound to the dark l

182
00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:42.639
email

183
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:43.839
email

184
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:45.039
email

185
00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:46.000
email

186
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:46.960
email

187
00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:49.120
email so we could set a time now let's

188
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.120
look at this word can

189
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.720
we just had it up here

190
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.199
and it was pronounced

191
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.759
how is it pronounced this second time

192
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.759
so we could set a time so we could set a

193
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.840
time so we could set a time

194
00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:07.279
so fast so unclear so we can plug in so

195
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.240
we can speak so we can set a time

196
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:11.919
i guess i'll write it with all of those

197
00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:14.240
sounds but it's just so fast

198
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.479
none of it's very clear is it so we

199
00:07:16.479 --> 00:07:18.960
could set a time so we could set a time

200
00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:21.840
so we could set a time set a time

201
00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:24.400
a flap t links these two words together

202
00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:26.319
we pronounce a t as a flap t when it

203
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.160
comes between two vowels and that's what

204
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.440
happens when we link these words set a

205
00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:32.800
time

206
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:33.919
is that a time

207
00:07:33.919 --> 00:07:35.120
is that a time

208
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.319
instead of time

209
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.160
yeah i've been distracted

210
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.759
yeah i've stress on yeah up down yeah

211
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.520
i've been distracted

212
00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:46.319
[Music]

213
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.639
a couple peaks of stress there

214
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.560
yeah i've been distracted

215
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.479
yeah i've been distracted

216
00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:54.400
yeah i've been distracted

217
00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:56.879
i have or i've

218
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:58.879
i've is not pronounced that way he

219
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.039
doesn't really say the v sound

220
00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:02.639
i've been distracted

221
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.240
i've been distracted

222
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.919
i've been distracted

223
00:08:05.919 --> 00:08:07.599
i've been distracted

224
00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:10.000
i've noticed we do this sometimes when

225
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:10.960
we're

226
00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:13.280
saying that word bin next

227
00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:15.120
i've been

228
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:16.879
one of the shortcuts is just to drop

229
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.960
that v sound i've been distracted i've

230
00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:21.199
been i've been i've been so see if you

231
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.440
can make that with no v sound at all

232
00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:26.800
just linking the i diphthong into the b

233
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.560
that will help this transition be more

234
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.879
smooth it will help you make this less

235
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.399
important word

236
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.120
less long and we need it to be short for

237
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.880
that rhythmic contrast that's so

238
00:08:36.880 --> 00:08:39.039
important in american english

239
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.479
i've been distracted now here we have e

240
00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:44.000
e

241
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.720
two e's but that makes the e as in sit

242
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.000
vowel not the evol i've been i've been

243
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.480
i've been distracted

244
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.480
i've been distracted i've been

245
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:55.760
distracted

246
00:08:55.760 --> 00:08:58.480
i've been distracted the ed ending is

247
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.200
pronounced as an extra syllable

248
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:02.880
e plus d

249
00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:05.440
when the sound before is a t or d so

250
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.600
it's a whole extra syllable here because

251
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.360
it comes after a t

252
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.160
distracted

253
00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:13.679
distracted

254
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.040
distracted

255
00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:16.399
distracted

256
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.399
distracted

257
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:19.760
i understand

258
00:09:19.760 --> 00:09:21.440
i understand

259
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.040
what are our most stressed syllables

260
00:09:23.040 --> 00:09:23.920
there

261
00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:25.440
i understand

262
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:26.958
i understand

263
00:09:26.958 --> 00:09:28.320
i understand

264
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.920
i understand

265
00:09:29.920 --> 00:09:33.519
i and under are all going towards the

266
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.880
main stress there stand i understand

267
00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:39.360
i understand and this is lower in pitch

268
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.279
less energy in the voice

269
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:42.720
i understand

270
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.240
i understand

271
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:45.760
i understand

272
00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:47.760
i and uh

273
00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:49.440
these two sounds here link together

274
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.200
really smoothly

275
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.679
i under i

276
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.839
under don't try to make any kind of

277
00:09:55.839 --> 00:09:57.040
distinction

278
00:09:57.040 --> 00:09:58.720
the words should slide together that's

279
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:00.880
okay that smoothness is important in

280
00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:02.399
american english

281
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:05.120
i under i understand

282
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.559
i understand

283
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.078
i understand

284
00:10:08.078 --> 00:10:09.679
i understand

285
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:10.958
i just want to rule out everything you

286
00:10:10.958 --> 00:10:12.399
know with this reading

287
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.958
this next phrase is again sort of lower

288
00:10:14.958 --> 00:10:17.519
in pitch and energy it's sort of like an

289
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.720
aside

290
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.120
but we do still have some the feeling of

291
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.958
some more stressed syllables what do you

292
00:10:22.958 --> 00:10:24.800

293
00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:26.480

those first four words all unstressed

299
00:10:34.958 --> 00:10:36.640
said very quickly then we have some

300
00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:38.559
stress syllables rule

301
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.078
out

302
00:10:40.078 --> 00:10:42.800
everything you know with his

303
00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:44.000
reading

304
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.440
let's look at these first four

305
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.120
unstressed words

306
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.040
they're not that clear they're not i

307
00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:50.880
just want to

308
00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:53.440
that would be way over pronouncing them

309
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:54.559
i just want to

310
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:55.600

i s i i she's dropping the t now it's

315
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:08.720
really common to drop the t in just when

316
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.399
the next word begins with a consonant

317
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.559
like it does here it's a little bit less

318
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.519
common to drop the j but it does happen

319
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.000
the word just not important here

320
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.600
it's a filler word

321
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:20.720
i just wanna

322
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:21.760

but it's not as clear as wanna it's

327
00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:30.958
wanna

328
00:11:30.958 --> 00:11:33.279
i swanna i swunna

329
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.120

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:36.800
syllable and we have four unstressed

331
00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:39.040

rule out everything rule out

350
00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:23.679
this is a phrasal verb and it means to

351
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.440
make impossible to eliminate as an

352
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:28.559
option

353
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.800
if you rule something out that means it

354
00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:32.880
won't happen or it can't be

355
00:12:32.880 --> 00:12:35.600
for example if you're unwell you may do

356
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.720
a series of tests for specific illnesses

357
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:40.559
to rule them out if it comes back

358
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.279
negative then you know it can't be that

359
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:44.559
rule out everything

360
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:45.839

you may think this is insane why are

382
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.880
these words so unclear but that's just

383
00:13:28.880 --> 00:13:30.800
the way american english is when we have

384
00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:33.200
a lot of unstressed words in a row they

385
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.078
get simplified sounds get dropped sounds

386
00:13:36.078 --> 00:13:37.679
get changed

387
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.600
but there's enough there for us to get

388
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.399
what it is and it's important to have

389
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.078
that simplification

390
00:13:44.078 --> 00:13:46.000
so it can be said more quickly so that

391
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:49.120
the longer syllables get to be clearer

392
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.920
that change between long and short is

393
00:13:51.920 --> 00:13:54.000
important in american english it's the

394
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.760
structure of the language

395
00:13:55.760 --> 00:13:56.800
you know

396
00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:57.839
you know

397
00:13:57.839 --> 00:13:59.839
you know this reading i just think he's

398
00:13:59.839 --> 00:14:01.920
a little over anxious what are our most

399
00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:04.078
stressed words in this sentence

400
00:14:04.078 --> 00:14:06.240
i just think he's a little over anxious

401
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.320
just think he's a little over anxious

402
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.000
just think he's a little over anxious i

403
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.199
just think he's a little over anxious

404
00:14:13.199 --> 00:14:14.720
think

405
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.010
dad

406
00:14:17.010 --> 00:14:20.120
[Music]

407
00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:23.360
rhythmic contrast long and short i

408
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.760
i don't even hear it i know it's there

409
00:14:25.760 --> 00:14:27.839
it makes sense that's what i would write

410
00:14:27.839 --> 00:14:30.160
down if i was writing what he's saying

411
00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:31.839
but when i really listen to it i don't

412
00:14:31.839 --> 00:14:33.279
really hear i

413
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.680
now we have this word just

414
00:14:35.680 --> 00:14:37.440
how is it pronounced

415
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.600
i just think he's a little over anxious

416
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.600
just think he's a little over anxious

417
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.360
just think he's a little over anxious

418
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.519
just think he's just think he's

419
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.639
just just just just again that t is

420
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.360
dropped and it said really quickly just

421
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.600
think he's just think he's

422
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.839
just think he's just think he's just

423
00:14:55.839 --> 00:14:58.560
think he's i think he's think he's again

424
00:14:58.560 --> 00:14:59.920
dropped h

425
00:14:59.920 --> 00:15:01.839
common to do that in these function

426
00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:05.279
words like he and his and him

427
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.040
think he's think he's thinking think

428
00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:08.399
he's

429
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.040
the apostrophe s here is a z because

430
00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:12.959
it's short for the word is

431
00:15:12.959 --> 00:15:15.519
where that s is a z sound that z links

432
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:17.360
right into the schwa

433
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.040
i think he's a think he's a think he's a

434
00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:21.120
think he's a really smooth

435
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:23.040
i think he's a i think he's a i think

436
00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:27.120
he's a little over anxious i think he a

437
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.079
little we have a flap t there

438
00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:34.360
little little

439
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.560
little over

440
00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:38.560
so we have the unstressed syllable of

441
00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:41.120
little and two unstressed syllables in

442
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:44.320
over dull over deliver deliver

443
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.519
little over anxious

444
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.519
a little over anxious a little over

445
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.880
anxious a little over anxious anxious

446
00:15:52.880 --> 00:15:54.480
that would be written phonetically with

447
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.240
the a as in bat and the ng consonant

448
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.399
so the letter n here

449
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.360
is actually the ng sound

450
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.199
made with the back of the tongue so when

451
00:16:05.199 --> 00:16:06.560
that happens

452
00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:08.880
the a vowel changes it's more like the a

453
00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:10.240
diphthong

454
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:11.440
like in say

455
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.519
a a anxious

456
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.279
over anxious

457
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.720
over anxious over anxious over anxious

458
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.759
and the letter x here

459
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.639
making the sounds k and sh

460
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:25.759
anxious

461
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.199
anxious

462
00:16:27.199 --> 00:16:28.480
anxious

463
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:29.440
anxious

464
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:30.480
anxious

465
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.440
anxious i think he wants it too much

466
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.279
listen to this next phrase and tell me

467
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.480
what you think the most stressed word is

468
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.079
wanted too much

469
00:16:40.079 --> 00:16:41.680
wants it too much

470
00:16:41.680 --> 00:16:43.120
wants it too much

471
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.240
i think he

472
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.240
a tiny bit of stress on think i think he

473
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.279
wants it too much and then a lot on once

474
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.040
once it too much

475
00:16:53.040 --> 00:16:54.639
did you notice in these first three

476
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:56.800
words i think he

477
00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:59.360
that age got dropped again i think he i

478
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.320
think he

479
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:01.360
i think you

480
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.799
i think you i think he wants it too much

481
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.359
wants it too much too and much both have

482
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:09.600
some length like for stress but they

483
00:17:09.600 --> 00:17:11.679
don't have a whole lot of that up down

484
00:17:11.679 --> 00:17:13.520
shape i think he

485
00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:15.280
wants it too much

486
00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:17.439
i think he wants it too much

487
00:17:17.439 --> 00:17:19.600
i think he wants it too much

488
00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:21.839
i think he wants it too much then we

489
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.400
have it and two and they link together

490
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.720
with a single true tea

491
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.840
it too it to it too it too much

492
00:17:29.840 --> 00:17:32.799
is it too much is it too much is it too

493
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.400
much

494
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.559
he's off the charts in math what are our

495
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.119
most stressed words in this sentence

496
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:40.960
he's off the charts in math

497
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:42.880
he's off the charts in math

498
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.640
he's off the charts in math he's off the

499
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.200
charts in math

500
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.760
three peaks of stress the main one on

501
00:17:51.760 --> 00:17:52.880
charts

502
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.320
he's off the charts and

503
00:17:56.320 --> 00:17:57.280
math

504
00:17:57.280 --> 00:17:59.600
linking together really smoothly no

505
00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:02.000
skips no break in the melody

506
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.160
if you're off the charts in something it

507
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.280
means you are extremely good at it he's

508
00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:09.760
off the charts in math he is very very

509
00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:12.480
good and successful in math

510
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:14.400
he's off the charts in math

511
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.240
he's off the charts in math

512
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:18.000
he's off the charts in math

513
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.440
the apostrophe s here again this is is

514
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.320
it's a z sound he's off he's off he's

515
00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:25.440
off

516
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:26.480
he's off

517
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:27.520
he's off

518
00:18:27.520 --> 00:18:29.520
he's off the charts of math he quits too

519
00:18:29.520 --> 00:18:31.280
easily when things aren't easy for him

520
00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:34.000
what are our most stressed words here

521
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.600
he quits too easily when things aren't

522
00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:37.840
easy for him he quits too easily when

523
00:18:37.840 --> 00:18:40.000
things aren't easy for him he quits too

524
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.840
easily when things aren't easy for him

525
00:18:41.840 --> 00:18:44.160
he quits too

526
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.200
easily when things a little bit of

527
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.520
stress there aren't

528
00:18:49.520 --> 00:18:52.080
easy for him i think the peak of stress

529
00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:54.960
of the whole sentence is on easily but

530
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:56.559
then we also have these other places

531
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.160
where there is some of that up down

532
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.080
shape and some length

533
00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:01.679
he quits too easily when things aren't

534
00:19:01.679 --> 00:19:03.840
easy for him he quits too easily when

535
00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:06.080
things aren't easy for him he quits too

536
00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:07.919
easily when things aren't easy for him

537
00:19:07.919 --> 00:19:10.000
let's talk about a few pronunciation

538
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.960
things the word t-o-o this word will

539
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:14.880
never reduce to the schwa it will always

540
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:16.960
have the ooh vowel but it might have an

541
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.679
unstressed feel like it does here he

542
00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:22.799
quits too easily

543
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.919
he quits too easily he quits too easily

544
00:19:25.919 --> 00:19:27.520
he quits too easily when things aren't

545
00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:30.240
easy for him now we have an n apostrophe

546
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.200
t contraction that can be pronounced a

547
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.359
few different ways either with the true

548
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:37.039
t aren't

549
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.400
with the stop t aren't easy or with no

550
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.320
tea at all aren't easy

551
00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:45.039
what do you hear true tea stop tea or

552
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:46.799
dropped tea

553
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:48.960
or easy

554
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.600
or easy aren't easy aren't

555
00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:54.720
easy definitely a little lift there

556
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:57.280
a little stop for the stop component of

557
00:19:57.280 --> 00:19:59.359
that t aren't easy

558
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.480
or easy or easy

559
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.720
did you notice the letter s in easily

560
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.679
and easy is the z sound we have quite a

561
00:20:07.679 --> 00:20:10.240
few words in english where the letter s

562
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:13.359
is actually the z sound husband cousin

563
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.799
easy for example

564
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.320
or easy or easy for him easy for him did

565
00:20:20.320 --> 00:20:22.000
you notice the word for is not

566
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.880
pronounced for it's pronounced fur

567
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.200
fur that's really common for him for him

568
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:29.520
for him and she doesn't drop the h but

569
00:20:29.520 --> 00:20:32.799
it is on stress for him for him for him

570
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.960
for

571
00:20:35.600 --> 00:20:37.919
you know you know you know you know the

572
00:20:37.919 --> 00:20:40.480
word you reduced it's yeah

573
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.640
you know you know you know

574
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:45.440
not the ooh val but the schwa you know

575
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.679
you know

576
00:20:47.679 --> 00:20:49.679
you know he's you know he's

577
00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:52.159
she does drop the h and he's now she's

578
00:20:52.159 --> 00:20:54.240
using not very much vocal energy it's a

579
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:55.840
little bit of uh

580
00:20:55.840 --> 00:20:58.320
a popcorn quality in this phrase that

581
00:20:58.320 --> 00:21:00.080
happens in american english towards the

582
00:21:00.080 --> 00:21:01.600
end of a phrase

583
00:21:01.600 --> 00:21:03.600
and she's just said he quits too easily

584
00:21:03.600 --> 00:21:05.440
when things aren't easy for him

585
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.520
and now this is sort of a continuation

586
00:21:07.520 --> 00:21:09.840
of that and her vocal energy has really

587
00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:11.200
gone down

588
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:12.240
you know

589
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:13.359
you know

590
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:15.200
you know he's i guess he's stubborn he's

591
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.880
he's like us like us a little bit of

592
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.159
stress on us

593
00:21:20.159 --> 00:21:22.320
he's stubborn

594
00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:24.799
he's like us he's stubborn he's i guess

595
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:27.840
he's stubborn he's i guess he's stubborn

596
00:21:27.840 --> 00:21:30.400
this quality of less volume and less

597
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:32.400
energy in the voice is very natural in

598
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:33.760
american english towards the end of a

599
00:21:33.760 --> 00:21:34.880
phrase

600
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.039
and it sounds really nice when a student

601
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.799
can bring it in sometimes i have

602
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:40.080
students who have very good

603
00:21:40.080 --> 00:21:42.559
pronunciation but their voice is always

604
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:44.720
fully engaged and actually that ends up

605
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:46.799
sounding a little bit strange

606
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:49.119
when they learn to taper off the ends of

607
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:51.760
their sentences sometimes that ends up

608
00:21:51.760 --> 00:21:54.000
bringing in a much more natural feeling

609
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.159
to their english it's like i see

610
00:21:56.159 --> 00:21:59.039
stubborn he's i guess he's stubborn

611
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.960
he's i guess he's stubborn and

612
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:02.000
everything

613
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.359
smoothly linking together he's stubborn

614
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:06.960
those two words will link together with

615
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.119
a single s sound he's stubborn he's

616
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:10.159
stubborn

617
00:22:10.159 --> 00:22:12.720
he's stubborn he's stubborn he's

618
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.679
stubborn like gus he's stubborn

619
00:22:15.679 --> 00:22:17.760
and i'm pretty sure she's dropping the h

620
00:22:17.760 --> 00:22:18.799
there too

621
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.600
like uh she's stubborn

622
00:22:21.600 --> 00:22:23.679
i guess he's stubborn i guess he's

623
00:22:23.679 --> 00:22:24.720
stubborn

624
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:26.880
i guess he's stubborn

625
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:29.359
he's still lousy i wrote he's that's

626
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:31.520
what makes sense grammatically but i

627
00:22:31.520 --> 00:22:34.480
don't even really hear that whole word

628
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.039
it's implied he still allows you he

629
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.799
still allows you he still allows you

630
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.320

634
00:22:47.919 --> 00:22:51.440
words lousy monopoly player

635
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.520

to save all his money

00:23:03.679 --> 00:23:05.200
now let's look and see if there are any

641
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:06.880
words that reduce here

642
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:08.559

still uh

649
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:20.960
don't reduce but they're unstressed said

650
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.679
quickly still still still still

651
00:23:23.679 --> 00:23:26.240

652
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:28.480
a letter s where the letter s is the z

653
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.679
sound lousy

654
00:23:30.679 --> 00:23:32.200

we have all and his unstressed coming

680
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:36.320
down in pitch from the stress syllable

681
00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:37.600
save

682
00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:40.080
what about his do we hear that h

683
00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:42.080
he tries to save all his money he tries

684
00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:43.679

689
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:52.000
nope dropped h there

690
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.840
save all his money

691
00:24:55.840 --> 00:24:58.480
save all his money to save all his money

692
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:01.200
to save all his money all his money

693
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:04.400
his another word where the letter s is

694
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:05.840
pronounced z

695
00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:08.000
actually in the word tries

696
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.039
it's a z as well but the z is weak and

697
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.119
here she's making a true t in the word

698
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.240
that's an unvoiced sound and voiced

699
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.279
sounds are stronger than weak sounds so

700
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:25.119
i actually hear this as an s it's

701
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:26.640
been shifted

702
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:31.119
into an unvoiced sound tries to tries to

703
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:33.840
even this word on its own is tries with

704
00:25:33.840 --> 00:25:36.480
a z but i think if you make that an s

705
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:38.400
linking into that true t that will

706
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:42.000
simplify that tries to tries to tries to

707
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.039
tries to save all his money

708
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:46.960
he tries to save all his money he tries

709
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.119
to save all his money he tries to save

710
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:51.200
all his money there are so many things

711
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:52.880
that make american english sound

712
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.159
american this linking these dropped

713
00:25:56.159 --> 00:25:58.320
sounds these reductions that help us

714
00:25:58.320 --> 00:26:00.720
link things smoothly and give more

715
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.359
rhythmic contrast there's so much to

716
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:06.400
study in even just a small scene

717
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.480
tries to save all his money tries to

718
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:10.559
