26. 1:01comprehension when it comes to watching
27. 1:04english movies in tv but
28. 1:06there's going to be a training section
29. 1:08you're going to take what you've just
30. 1:10learned and practice repeating it
31. 1:12doing a reduction flapping a t just like
32. 1:15you learned in the analysis okay here's
33. 1:17the scene
34. 1:19hi ali hi i'm phil we met last night
35. 1:21yeah jack sent me to pick you up and
36. 1:23take you to the gig
37. 1:24oh my god um but i gotta i gotta work i
38. 1:28i can't go he's really looking forward
39. 1:30to this i appreciate that but um i can't
40. 1:32leave so i'll be in my car right down
41. 1:34the street uh please tell him thank you
42. 1:36but no thank you okay say it just like
43. 1:38that
44. 1:39and now the analysis
45. 1:41hi ally hi
46. 1:43okay so we start off with three stressed
47. 1:46words and they all have that up down
48. 1:47shape hi
49. 1:49ally
50. 1:50hi
51. 1:51uh
52. 1:52notice it's not flat hi
53. 1:54hi hi hi hi hi hi that up down shape is
54. 1:59really important in american english
55. 2:01it's what we do with stressed syllables
56. 2:02high ally
57. 2:04hi
58. 2:05now hi
59. 2:06is one syllable hi
60. 2:09ally is two syllables it's the first
61. 2:12syllable that's stressed
62. 2:14ally it has the exact same shape as high
63. 2:19but the second unstressed syllable just
64. 2:21sort of falls into the line of the voice
65. 2:24on the way down
66. 2:25ali
67. 2:27ali
68. 2:29ali
69. 2:30ali
70. 2:31ali hi ali hi
71. 2:35hi ali
72. 2:36hi ali
73. 2:38hi ali hi i'm phil i'm phil
74. 2:41i'm phil
75. 2:43which one of those has the up down shape
76. 2:46i'm phil
77. 2:47i'm phil
78. 2:48i'm phil i'm phil
79. 2:50definitely phil the word i am we barely
80. 2:53even hear it
81. 2:55i am becomes i'm
82. 2:58but when we
83. 3:00are speaking in a sentence we might
84. 3:02reduce that to just the m sound or a
85. 3:05schwa m um i'm phil i'm phil i would say
86. 3:09it has more of a schwa m feel unstressed
87. 3:12instead of i'm i'm um i'm i'm i'm phil
88. 3:15i'm phil
89. 3:16i'm phil i'm phil
90. 3:21i'm phil
91. 3:22i'm phil
92. 3:23i'm phil we met last night we met last
93. 3:25night
94. 3:27we met a little bit of that shape
95. 3:30we
96. 3:31met
97. 3:32last
98. 3:34night
99. 3:35and night has stress too but since it's
100. 3:37going up in pitch this dress is sort of
101. 3:39a scoop up rather than a s shape up down
102. 3:42we met last night
103. 3:46and do you notice how we're gonna play
104. 3:48that in slow motion for you do you
105. 3:50notice how it's so smooth
106. 3:52everything connects
107. 4:04i love slowing down speech because
108. 4:05that's when we really get to feel the
109. 4:07melody and notice how sloppy everything
110. 4:10is as far as linking together
111. 4:12no definition between words
112. 4:15the word we is unstressed it doesn't
113. 4:17really sound like we does it it's more
114. 4:19like
115. 4:26so i would actually write that with the
116. 4:29it as in sit vowel not the e vowel
117. 4:35okay now how
118. 4:36t's are a true t
119. 4:39sounds like
120. 4:40this
121. 4:42we stop there we release it
122. 4:44every time we do that it breaks up the
123. 4:46line a little bit
124. 4:48because we have to stop the air and
125. 4:49release so if i made the tea and met
126. 4:52a true tea and the tea in last a true
127. 4:55tea it would sound like this you know
128. 4:57what if i made the tea and knight a true
129. 4:59tea the phrase would sound like this we
130. 5:02met last night
131. 5:04we met to last tonight
132. 5:06that's not how he's doing it at all
133. 5:09we met last night
134. 5:14last night
135. 5:18all of those true teas change met is a
136. 5:22stop tea
137. 5:24we met last
138. 5:26that means there's a little tiny break
139. 5:29but we don't take the time to do a
140. 5:30release so we stop the air
141. 5:32that stop shows to us that it's a t
142. 5:35we met last
143. 5:44and so we hear it as a t now the t in
144. 5:47last this is different it's not a stop t
145. 5:50it's actually totally dropped we very
146. 5:53often drop a t when it comes between two
147. 5:55other consonants so even if it's not in
148. 5:57the same word even if it's linking two
149. 6:00words and the t ends up between two
150. 6:02consonants we will drop it
151. 6:04so all these words that end in an st
152. 6:07cluster last
153. 6:08first just
154. 6:11be aware that when they come before a
155. 6:14word that begins with a consonant we
156. 6:16will almost always drop that t
157. 6:18we met last night last night right from
158. 6:23the s into the n and then we have
159. 6:25another stop t here
160. 6:27so the rule for stop t's is we usually
161. 6:29make a t as stop t when the next word
162. 6:31begins with a consonant like here or at
163. 6:34the end of a thought group like here
164. 6:36so it's not we met to last tonight
165. 6:40no we just don't do true tease like that
166. 6:42it's we met last night
167. 6:44we met last night we met last night we
168. 6:47met last night and the pitch goes up at
169. 6:49the end
170. 6:50even though it's a statement he makes
171. 6:51the pitch go up and gives it a sort of
172. 6:53questioning
173. 6:55intonation because he's not sure if she
174. 6:58remembers that
175. 6:59and so he's asking it as a question as
176. 7:01if to say do you remember we met last
177. 7:04night
178. 7:04instead it's just we met last night
179. 7:07we met last night we met last night we
180. 7:09met last night yeah
181. 7:12the intonation going up shows it's a
182. 7:13question asking for confirmation and she
183. 7:16gives her confirmation yeah i remember
184. 7:18yeah jackson
185. 7:20yeah jackson
186. 7:22yeah
187. 7:23jackson yeah
188. 7:24yeah
189. 7:25yeah lots of pitch change there yeah
190. 7:29yeah
191. 7:30up down shape
192. 7:32yeah
193. 7:33yeah
194. 7:34yeah i remember
195. 7:35i
196. 7:36she really draws that out longer than
197. 7:38you normally would as she's thinking i
198. 7:41remem
199. 7:43and then we almost don't even hear burr
200. 7:45because he's interrupted her and she
201. 7:47kind of just drops that syllable i
202. 7:49remember
203. 7:51jackson
204. 7:52jackson
205. 7:54if she does say this syllable it's very
206. 7:56very quiet
207. 7:58i don't really hear it
208. 8:00jackson
209. 8:03jackson but we do have that up down
210. 8:05shape of stress with the a vowel
211. 8:08on the stress syllable there i
212. 8:11remember
213. 8:13i remember i remember
214. 8:15i remember
215. 8:17jackson
216. 8:19jack sent me to pick you up and take you
217. 8:20to the gig
218. 8:22now let's listen to his phrase
219. 8:24and see what we think these peaks of
220. 8:26stress are uh what has that shape
221. 8:30what feels like the most stressed
222. 8:32syllables here
223. 8:33jack sent me to pick you up
224. 8:35jack sent me to pick you up
225. 8:36jack sent me to pick you up

230. 8:48pick you
231. 8:50up
232. 8:51i would say out of those three stress
233. 8:53levels up has that most up down shape is
234. 8:55the most stressed
235. 8:57jack sent me to pick you up
236. 8:59jack sent me to pick you up
237. 9:01jack sent me to pick you up and take you
238. 9:02to the gig

248. 9:18i've got a gig i'm playing at a bar down
249. 9:20the street we're doing a jazz set for
250. 9:23example you may have heard the phrase
251. 9:25gig economy in the news
252. 9:27talking about economics this has to do
253. 9:29with a shift from being an employee to
254. 9:33being a contractor and working on a gig
255. 9:35by gig basis
256. 9:37for example
257. 9:38someone who drives a car for lyft or
258. 9:40uber
259. 9:41that would be considered somebody in the
260. 9:42gig economy they're not employees there
261. 9:45they choose what rides they want to pick
262. 9:47up when
263. 9:48gigs are used a lot with musicians as
264. 9:50well i've even heard it used as a verb
265. 9:53are you gigging tonight
266. 9:55and take it to the gig
267. 9:56and take you to the gig
268. 9:58and take you to the gig
269. 9:59so those are our most stressed words
270. 10:01here let's go ahead and look at the
271. 10:02reductions because we do have some
272. 10:04reductions
273. 10:06jack sent me to pick you up
274. 10:07jack sent me to pick you up jack sent me
275. 10:09to pick you up jack sent me to pick you
276. 10:11up
277. 10:12jack sent me i'm gonna call that a stop
278. 10:15t
279. 10:16sometimes in n t
280. 10:19we drop the t
281. 10:21jack send me jack send me but i hear it
282. 10:24more as jack sent me sent
283. 10:26me jack sent
284. 10:28me i'm ex i'm exaggerating the stop
285. 10:30there but i definitely hear that as a
286. 10:32stop t jack sent me to
287. 10:34the word two reduces
288. 10:37it's got more of a flap t sound and a
289. 10:40schwa sent me the ra
290. 10:42ra ra
291. 10:43jack sent me a jack sent me there
292. 10:46jackson
293. 10:47jackson
294. 10:49jack sent me to pick you up pick you up
295. 10:51pick you up stressed unstressed stressed
296. 10:55and the word you
297. 10:56isn't pronounced you he changes that
298. 10:58vowel to the schwa pick yeah
299. 11:03and the schwa just links very smoothly
300. 11:05into the uh as in butter vowel for up
301. 11:08pick yeah
302. 11:11pick you up
303. 11:12pick you up jack sent me to pick you up
304. 11:15sent me to pick you up
305. 11:16his lips come together for the pee you
306. 11:18can look at that
307. 11:23but he doesn't release them pick you up
308. 11:25pick you up
309. 11:26pick you up pick you up pick you up and
310. 11:28take you to the gig
311. 11:30they come together but then rather than
312. 11:31releasing the air he goes right into the
313. 11:33next word which is and and he does
314. 11:36reduce that
315. 11:38i would write that schwa and
316. 11:40[Music]
317. 11:41n absorbs the schwa so it's not un
318. 11:44it's just um
319. 11:47you can take it
320. 11:48and take it
321. 11:49and take it
322. 11:50and take you to the
323. 11:53u and two
324. 11:55they both reduce don't they these three
325. 11:57words are unstressed
326. 12:02they're flattering pitch they're a
327. 12:03little bit less clear
328. 12:05so you becomes yeah
329. 12:08yeah i don't have to move my jaw at all
330. 12:10for that i don't have to move my lips at
331. 12:12all for that yeah yeah yeah my tongue is
332. 12:15the only thing that moves
333. 12:20and even as i go into the word two
334. 12:22reduced i don't have to move anything
335. 12:23but my tongue
336. 12:25and take it
337. 12:26and take it
338. 12:27and take it
339. 12:32i can do all of that
340. 12:34linking smoothly into the unstressed
341. 12:36word the i can do all of that without
342. 12:39moving my
343. 12:40jaw or lips
344. 12:44it's all just the tongue so you want to
345. 12:47be simplifying your mouth movements as
346. 12:48much as possible so that you can make
347. 12:51this string of unstressed words with the
348. 12:53reductions
349. 12:55as simply as possible as quick as
350. 12:57possible
351. 12:58because that's an important part of the
352. 12:59contrast of american english
353. 13:02you do the gig
354. 13:03you do the gig
355. 13:04you do the gig gig is the word that has
356. 13:07the energy
357. 13:08you get the gig
358. 13:09you give the gig
359. 13:11get the gig
360. 13:12the t intake is a true t
361. 13:16and it's a true t because it starts a
362. 13:18stressed word if a t starts a stressed
363. 13:21syllable and it's not part of a tr
364. 13:23cluster it will be a true t if it's part
365. 13:25of a tr cluster it might end up sounding
366. 13:27like ch but here it's not
367. 13:30so it's just t take take take a light
368. 13:34true tea
369. 13:35take you to the gig
370. 13:37take you to the gig
371. 13:38and take you to the gig
372. 13:40now
373. 13:40i hope you guys are noticing really how
374. 13:43smoothly everything links together and
375. 13:46we have reductions that help us do that
376. 13:48we have this continuous sound sometimes
377. 13:51it's scooping up sometimes it's falling
378. 13:53down that's the melody
379. 13:55but it never feels separate within one
380. 13:58thought group it always feels connected
381. 14:00so if you're used to speaking with words
382. 14:02more separate
383. 14:04this could be a challenge for you
384. 14:06also most people have a hard time
385. 14:08simplifying and making these unstressed
386. 14:11words as quickly as they can let's just
387. 14:13take the word and for example
388. 14:15you know it's not and
389. 14:17you know it's um
390. 14:19but a lot of students will to go
391. 14:22but actually it's
392. 14:25it's even faster
393. 14:27as fast as you can possibly make it and
394. 14:30take and take and take
395. 14:32and take you to the gig
396. 14:34and take you to the gig
397. 14:36and take you to the gig
398. 14:37and take you to the gig
399. 14:39oh my god oh my god
400. 14:41oh really clear up down shape
401. 14:44oh
402. 14:45my god
403. 14:46god is what stress the word my just
404. 14:49falls in on the way up my god oh my god
405. 14:54oh my god oh my god oh my god um
406. 14:58um
407. 14:59um
408. 15:00that's the thinking vowel that uh as in
409. 15:03butter sound we usually do it just as uh
410. 15:07or um with an m at the end
411. 15:10um
412. 15:13um but
413. 15:14but
414. 15:15but
415. 15:16but do you notice that stop t she
416. 15:18doesn't say but
417. 15:20she says but
418. 15:22but
419. 15:22abruptly stopping the air she probably
420. 15:25puts her tongue into position for the
421. 15:26tea but
422. 15:28and stops the air but doesn't release
423. 15:31but
424. 15:32but
425. 15:33but i gotta i gotta
426. 15:36i got it not very clear right
427. 15:39so grammatically this is a combination
428. 15:42of these words
429. 15:44i have got to we combine got two into
430. 15:48gotta and we drop have this is a common
431. 15:51way to talk
432. 15:52you would never want to write this but
433. 15:54to say this is okay
434. 15:56i gotta i got it i got it
435. 15:59i gotta
436. 16:00i gotta
437. 16:01i gotta i gotta i gotta the t's are flap
438. 16:05tees
439. 16:06the tongue just flaps up against the
440. 16:08roof of the mouth it's certainly not got
441. 16:09to gotta
442. 16:12gotta i would say this is the ah as in
443. 16:15law vowel and then the ending unstressed
444. 16:17is the schwa i gotta i gotta and the i
445. 16:20diphthong for eye links really smoothly
446. 16:22into that
447. 16:24i gotta i got no break
448. 16:26so the stress would be on the stress
449. 16:28syllable of god
450. 16:30gotta i gotta i gotta
451. 16:32i gotta
452. 16:34i gotta
453. 16:35i gotta i gotta work i gotta work she
454. 16:37repeats herself it sounds exactly the
455. 16:39same
456. 16:40i gotta
457. 16:42again flap t
458. 16:44i gotta work and then the voice goes
459. 16:48back up for the stress word work
460. 16:50i gotta work
461. 16:52i gotta work
462. 16:53i gotta work and the k of work releases
463. 16:56right into the i diphthong work i work
464. 16:59eye and that's an unstressed word so
465. 17:01it's flatter down here work guy work i
466. 17:06work i
467. 17:07work i
468. 17:08work i can't go
469. 17:10she makes a little k sound here but then
470. 17:12repeats herself
471. 17:14work i can't go
472. 17:15work i can't go work i can't go
473. 17:19let's listen to just this phrase on
474. 17:22repeat tell me
475. 17:25about the middle word can't tell me
476. 17:27about that t after you listen to it
477. 17:29i can't go
478. 17:31i can't go
479. 17:32i can't go
480. 17:33wow i don't really hear it at all i
481. 17:35don't really hear a stop i can't go i
482. 17:39barely even hear the n so the t i would
483. 17:41say is dropped the n pretty unclear
484. 17:45uh
485. 17:46stress is on can't
486. 17:49but even though it's stress it's not
487. 17:50fully pronounced so the word can't has
488. 17:53the k consonant
489. 17:55as in vowel when that's followed by n
490. 17:59we go through a sound before the n
491. 18:02like the schwa or the uh as in butter
492. 18:04however you want to think of it it's the
493. 18:06back of the tongue relaxing
494. 18:11before the tongue lifts in the front for
495. 18:12the end
496. 18:14can
497. 18:15[Music]
498. 18:18can yeah i definitely hear that
499. 18:20transition those two sounds the n is
500. 18:23very weak though the t is dropped i
501. 18:25can't go i can't go i can't go
502. 18:28i can't go
503. 18:30i can't go
504. 18:31i can't go
505. 18:32[Music]
506. 18:34and then the word go falls in on the way
507. 18:36down of the pitch it's got less energy
508. 18:40i can't go
509. 18:41i can't go
510. 18:42i can't go he's really looking forward
511. 18:44to this
512. 18:45okay let's look at his phrase what are
513. 18:47the most stressed syllables here
514. 18:49he's really looking forward to this
515. 18:51he's really looking forward to this
516. 18:53he's really looking forward to this he's
517. 18:55really i would say they're
518. 18:58looking forward to this and the rest is
519. 19:01a little bit less clear a little bit
520. 19:03more unstressed
521. 19:05he's really looking forward to this
522. 19:07he's really looking forward to this
523. 19:09he's really looking forward to this
524. 19:11so the word he's just builds up to it
525. 19:14the second unstressable of really just
526. 19:16falls and on the way down he's really
527. 19:20looking
528. 19:21forward to
529. 19:26that's the melody you want in your voice
530. 19:28and you want all of that connection
531. 19:30he's really looking forward to this
532. 19:32he's really looking forward to this
533. 19:34he's really looking forward to this
534. 19:36when you have the audio at the end of
535. 19:38this video you have the chance to train
536. 19:40there will be slow motion so you'll have
537. 19:43different opportunities to work with the
538. 19:45audio in a different way
539. 19:47and if it's at all difficult for you to
540. 19:50connect everything you'll really want to
541. 19:52do the slow motion that's going to help
542. 19:54you
543. 19:55focus on the linking he's really looking
544. 19:59forward to this
545. 20:01are you noticing how i'm pronouncing too
546. 20:03let's go listen to him do it part of
547. 20:06this
548. 20:06i've heard of this
549. 20:08i've heard of this we've ordered this
550. 20:10we've ordered this order this
551. 20:12it's really pretty unclear isn't it
552. 20:16i've heard of this
553. 20:18we have a word that ends in a d
554. 20:20often when that's followed by the word
555. 20:22two we just drop the t all together and
556. 20:24we just link a schwa on to the end
557. 20:27forward
558. 20:28this and that's what he's doing for this
559. 20:31lord of this for this th super unclear
560. 20:35for this this this this this this
561. 20:38for this
562. 20:44so if you listen to just these last
563. 20:46three words it all sounds pretty unclear
564. 20:48but in the
565. 20:50context of the whole phrase i wouldn't
566. 20:52notice that as being unclear it's only
567. 20:54when i isolate it
568. 20:55so when you take these unclear words or
569. 20:57syllables and you put them in the
570. 20:58context of everything they don't sound
571. 21:01unclear anymore they just sound like
572. 21:02part of the natural rhythm of the
573. 21:04sentence
574. 21:06i've heard of this
575. 21:07i've heard of this i appreciate that
576. 21:09what's our most stressed syllable in
577. 21:11this phrase
578. 21:13i appreciate that
579. 21:14i appreciate that
580. 21:16i appreciate that
581. 21:17i uh pre
582. 21:20i
583. 21:22appreciate that
584. 21:24definitely pre you can even see her eyes
585. 21:26open a little bit more wide on that
586. 21:29syllable
587. 21:30i appreciate that
588. 21:31i appreciate that
589. 21:33i appreciate that and these words all
590. 21:35link together really smoothly i
591. 21:39the i diphthong when that word is
592. 21:42linking into a word that begins with a
593. 21:43vowel or diphthong you can feel like it
594. 21:45begins with a y that glide consonant
595. 21:48might help you connect the two words
596. 21:49more smoothly i
597. 21:52appreciate
598. 21:53[Music]
599. 21:56appreciate four syllable word with
600. 21:58second syllable stress this c is the sh
601. 22:02sound
602. 22:03sh
603. 22:04appreciate appreciate that and we have a
604. 22:07stop t because the next word begins with
605. 22:10a consonant appreciate that
606. 22:12and she does a stop t here as well at
607. 22:15the end of the thought group
608. 22:16also the next word begins with a
609. 22:18consonant appreciate that
610. 22:21i appreciate that
611. 22:22i appreciate that
612. 22:24i appreciate that but um but
613. 22:27but another stop t but
614. 22:30um
615. 22:32but um
616. 22:34but uh appreciate that but um
617. 22:36i can't leave i can't leave i can't
618. 22:39leave all of these words have a little
619. 22:41bit of a stress feel to them i can't
620. 22:43leave
621. 22:44i can't leave
622. 22:45i can't leave i can't leave so he's been
623. 22:48told by his employer
624. 22:50not to leave without her so he's not
625. 22:53taking no for an answer he says okay
626. 22:55we'll all wait i can't leave i can't
627. 22:57leave
628. 22:58let's look at our n apostrophe t
629. 23:00contraction here how do you feel that
630. 23:02it's pronounced
631. 23:04i can't leave
632. 23:05i can't leave i can't leave very very
633. 23:08subtlety i'm not really sure if i feel
634. 23:10it as a stop or as totally dropped i can
635. 23:13leave i can leave i can leave
636. 23:16i can't leave
637. 23:17i can't leave
638. 23:18i can't leave it almost sounds dropped
639. 23:21so what's the difference between can and
640. 23:23can't if you're dropping the t
641. 23:26the difference is in the pronunciation
642. 23:28of the vowel
643. 23:29if it was the word can
644. 23:31the vowel would be reduced to the schwa
645. 23:34and it would be because that's what we
646. 23:37do with can when it's not the only verb
647. 23:39in the sentence i can leave i can leave
648. 23:43now can has the feel of
649. 23:46but when the vowel feels more fully
650. 23:47pronounced i can leave i can and and and
651. 23:52and then we know it's can't so it's
652. 23:54tricky because we feel like the t is the
653. 23:56difference between these two words but
654. 23:58actually in pronunciation we don't
655. 24:00really hear a full t almost never would
656. 24:02that be pronounced with a true tea
657. 24:04maybe a stop t may be a dropped t almost
658. 24:07never a true t so the difference between
659. 24:09can and can't is more in the vowel than
660. 24:12in the t believe it or not
661. 24:15i can leave that's this word can i can
662. 24:18leave
663. 24:19i can't leave
664. 24:21i can't leave i can't leave that's this
665. 24:23word more of the up down shape of stress
666. 24:26i can't leave
667. 24:28i can't leave
668. 24:29i can't leave so i'll be in my car right
669. 24:30down the street so i'll be in my little
670. 24:34bit of stress there i'll be in my car
671. 24:38right down the street
672. 24:42stop t
673. 24:44so i'll be in my car right down the
674. 24:45street
675. 24:46so i'll be in my car right down the
676. 24:47street so i'll be in my car right down
677. 24:49the street
678. 24:50saw
679. 24:51saul everything links together smoothly
680. 24:54the word i
681. 24:56is with the ism by diphthong
682. 24:58the contraction i will is sometimes
683. 25:01pronounced i'll with an l at the end but
684. 25:04usually it sounds more like the word all
685. 25:07instead of i'll all
686. 25:09all all all be all be all be in my car
687. 25:14i'll be in my car
688. 25:15i'll be in my car
689. 25:16i'll be in my car right down the street
690. 25:18car right
691. 25:20these two words link together single r
692. 25:22sound you don't need to try to make it
693. 25:24longer to show that there are two r's
694. 25:26there it can just be one r linking them
695. 25:28together car right car right stop t
696. 25:32because the next order begins with the
697. 25:33continent
698. 25:35car right car right down the street
699. 25:37car right down the street
700. 25:39car right down the street
701. 25:41car right down the street
702. 25:42right down the street
703. 25:44right down the street
704. 25:46right down the street
705. 25:47right down the street uh please tell him
706. 25:50uh
707. 25:51uh
708. 25:52again that thinking vowel uh as in
709. 25:54butter i feel like every language has
710. 25:56their own sounds they make when they're
711. 25:58thinking uh uh
712. 26:00really open and relaxed that's the
713. 26:02american vowel uh
714. 26:06uh please tell him please tell him
715. 26:09please
716. 26:11tell him most of the stress on please
717. 26:14she really wants to emphasize this
718. 26:17please
719. 26:19tell him and then the other two words
720. 26:21come in as we go down we do have a true
721. 26:23t intel
722. 26:24because it starts
723. 26:26a stressed word even though it's not as
724. 26:28stressed as please
725. 26:29please
726. 26:31tell them do you notice what i'm doing
727. 26:33with the h
728. 26:34she drops the h doesn't she
729. 26:36fairly common to drop the h in words
730. 26:39like him her his
731. 26:41please tell him
732. 26:43tell him um um um so not m um um
733. 26:48um i would probably write that with a
734. 26:49shawa please tell him

737. 26:55please tell him thank you thank you
738. 26:57thank you
739. 26:59going up in pitch because she's not done
740. 27:00that is not the end she doesn't just
741. 27:02want him to be told thank you thank you
742. 27:05thank you
743. 27:06thank you
744. 27:08thank you but no thank you
745. 27:09but
746. 27:10no thank you
747. 27:13no thank you and then this comes down to
748. 27:15pitch thank you
749. 27:17the upward intonation shows were not
750. 27:19done thank you but no thank you
751. 27:22that's like a polite way to decline
752. 27:24something thanks but no thanks i'm okay
753. 27:27thank you
754. 27:28but no thank you
755. 27:29thank you but no thank you
756. 27:31thank you but no thank you
757. 27:33thank you but no thank you
758. 27:35thank you this is a tough word we've got
759. 27:36the unvoiced th she doesn't make it
760. 27:38super clear especially the first time
761. 27:41thank you thank you thank you
762. 27:44thank you
763. 27:45the k linking right into the you
764. 27:47diphthong thank you thank you
765. 27:50what is the vowel there it's a as in bat
766. 27:53followed by an ng sound the n in think
767. 27:57isn't at the front of the mouth like an
768. 27:59n but it's at the back of the mouth like
769. 28:00an ng
770. 28:02thank you
771. 28:04thank you
772. 28:05thank you
773. 28:06thank you
774. 28:08so when a is followed by n it's not
775. 28:10really like an a it becomes more like an
776. 28:13a diphthong like in the word say they
777. 28:17they thank you thank you
778. 28:20but no thank you
779. 28:21but stop t because the next word begins
780. 28:24with the consonant thank you
781. 28:26but no thank you
782. 28:27thank you but no thank you
783. 28:29thank you but no thank you
784. 28:31thank you but no thank you okay and then
785. 28:33he says uh or maybe it's but i'm not
786. 28:36sure
787. 28:37it's very fast but
788. 28:40uh
789. 28:42uh okay okay okay okay
790. 28:46then she says the word okay she drops
791. 28:49the first syllable that's pretty common
792. 28:50okay okay okay okay pitch goes up okay
793. 28:54okay
794. 28:55it's like saying okay will you do this
795. 28:57for me okay okay
796. 28:59okay
797. 29:00okay
798. 29:01okay say it just like that
799. 29:03now this last sentence let's listen to
800. 29:06it and really try to pay attention to
801. 29:07the intonation what's the most stressed
802. 29:09word here
803. 29:10say it just like that
804. 29:12say it just like that
805. 29:14say it just like that
806. 29:16say it just like that the words say so
807. 29:19she starts by really stressing that and
808. 29:21then the rest of the words kind of come
809. 29:23down after that say it just
810. 29:26like
811. 29:28that
812. 29:29stop t
813. 29:31say it just like that
814. 29:33say it just like that
815. 29:35say it just like that
816. 29:36say it just like that
817. 29:38okay we also have a stop t in it say it
818. 29:41because the next word begins with the
819. 29:43consonant
820. 29:44the t in just totally dropped because
821. 29:47the next word begins with an l it's part
822. 29:49of a cluster
823. 29:50say
824. 29:52just like that
825. 29:54can you do it that smoothly
826. 29:57when you're working with the slow motion
827. 29:59audio
828. 30:00do repeat it back in slow motion
829. 30:03feel that
830. 30:04stickiness between the words say it just
831. 30:09like that
