Be a NATIVE ENGLISH Speaker in 8 steps!!

One is the schwa this is the most common and [the] most lazy sound in English how do you make this sound to make this sound properly just breathe out of your mouth and Then just make a sound Okay, but when can we use the schwa one of the reasons we use a schwa is in unstressed syllables Example cousin the first syllable is the stressed syllable Cup the second syllable that's unstressed, so it has a weak form and that will take the schwa cars in Cousin say with me cousin other words for example Freedom again the first syllable is stressed free the second syllable is not It's unstressed so try not free Dom no freedom freedom Say it with me freedom or this word effort the stress is in the first syllable at So we pronounce that sound correctly air the next syllable not stressed so schwa effort effort Well this word has three syllables the middle syllable is stressed May so the first syllable has a schwa sound not amazing [no], it's amazing Amazing [and] where am I now I'm not in London No, the first syllable is stressed the second syllable is weak and has that schwa sound London another reason we use the schwa is when word has the sound for example in American English the Sound has a very strong R But in British English it doesn't for example. My job is a teacher. I say teacher Americans would say teacher if I get sick I Go to the hospital, and I see a doctor. No. I see a doctor Doctor say it with me doctor. If I need legal help. I will not see a lawyer I will see a lawyer lawyer with me lawyer someone who works in a university could be a professor no professor Professor so repeat those four words with me remember to include that schwa sound teacher doctor lawyer professor [to] British English is non-rhotic. What the hell is non-rhotic? Non-Rhotic means that we don't pronounce that are in the same way that [for] example American English pronounces it we pronounce it in that lazy smooth way Instead of saying here. No we say here warm Butterfly um yeah, actually not every British accent is non-rhotic some are actually rohtak Okay, yes fine Some are for example. West country or the pirate accent. We all know how pirates sound they don't say ah No, they say are That one is Rohtak for example We might say bird in the west country they might say it like this bird is there an exception to this? yes, and that is when we use our linking or intrusion for example in a sentence like No better actor is better at acting than Ben affleck If you pronounce every word separately then yes, you don't use our linking or intrusion But that sounds like a robot, and you're not a robot you [might] be I don't know if you're a robot That's cool, but if you want to sound like a natural sounding British human Then you might want to use our linking so this sentence would sound like this No better [rack] [tour] is better at acting than Ben affleck try and say it with me No better rack to R is better with acting than Ben affleck Three when you have a regular [verb] ending in the past it will always have an iDI ending But there are three ways [that] we can pronounce the iDI ending one is like a [tea] One is like [adi], [duh], and one is like edie But how do you know which one has which ending well this all has to do with voiced and unvoiced or voiceless? Sounds what from voiced and unvoiced sound it's super easy let's compare the sounds of this and this put your hand to your throat make this sound now add a vibration Now you're making this sound hMM So this because there's no vibration it's called unvoiced or voiceless With this one there is a vibration, so it's called a voiced sound Okay, voiced and voiceless [why] should I care? Well it really helps to know what a voiced and unvoiced sound is if you want to know how that [edy] ending should sound for [example] take these words Kiss walk work brush all of those words finish with an unvoiced sound So when you put them in the past they have the idi endings, so how does that idi ending sound it sounds like [it] kissed walked worked brushed It makes more sense if you say it in a sentence he walked away, but it sounds really natural if you link that end sound into the next word walked away notice that the Links into that next word walked away. He walked away. It sounds natural right now Let's look at these words use play smell. They all finish in a voiced sound So [voiced] sounds make that [idi] sound like a dirt used played Smelled in a sentence, we played a game Fine, but sounds a bit robotic So let's make [it] sound natural and make that dirt sound link into that next word we play the game We play the game We played a game When do we say that [idi] like an egg? It's not walk head. It's not working. It's not wanted boom wanted ended needed Visited they either end in a tea or a d. So the [idi] sounds like an ed let's use it in a sentence [not] [I'm] okay. [I'm] okay. [I] just I Needed a moment Before is that glottal tea? What is a glottal tea in the words uh-oh the up sound makes you a [flood] clothes and makes an up? Sound now in some words You can replace the sound with that up sound not in every t sound no Some t sounds for example at the end of words, but it fat Not those words cool glottal t to finish fine It sounds great But if there is a vowel sound [t] vowel sound for example [in] words like better Water no it sounds. I'm just going to say it sounds stupid. Don't do that. What are better? Yeah, it sounds a little bit stupid Just don't do it also in words that have confident sound t vowel sound for example mountain Mountain just no don't do that But lastly if there is a vowel t sound consonant sound for example [in] words like Batman then it's fine. You can use that glottal t that man but again, if you want [to] know more [about] the glottal t when to use it when to not Click here. There is a whole lesson on it Five is the in sound sometimes to sound a bit more natural you might want to contract the in to an in Sound and lose that last g [reading] [writing] running go in All these words are examples of when you can contract in to in Well notice [that] those are all words with more than one syllable and the last syllable Is an in sound so for example singing has two syllables and in fact two in sounds singing? the second thing you can contract to an Singing I've got a meeting today Fine, but it could it sound more natural if you add the glottal t and contract that in to an init I've got a meeting today When can't you contract it then if there's only one syllable? Sing sent. No King [one] syllable don't contract it to Kim Sing sin no don't contract those only if it's more than one syllable and the final syllable Isn't in sound then it's fine. I'm the ken of inland sea. It doesn't work Yes, England has more than two syllables But it's the first syllable that has the end not the final one number six be careful of silent letters For example the most commonly mispronounced words is this one. How would you say? No, the pain. We don't pronounce it not received. No we pronounce it receipt receipt Not sward sword the w is silent okay next one Not the b. Is silent. We say it like Subtle subtle subtle. What's the day after Tuesday? Wednesday, Wednesday, we don't say Wed Thursday, no Wednesday if you are from a [different] country you are what? Nope the g is [silent] it's foreign foreign Again, we have a perfect [example] of the first syllable being stressed so the second syllable is weak has the schwa sound foreign [Rin] foreign say with me foreign seven practice practice practice that sound that and that whom sounds are so Important try to be aware of the sound in words and don't pronounce It like it or a death or or [written] Before we begin I've got joke for you. What did the German Philosopher say on the titanic? I'm thinking So I know I'm just great now for most Non-native English speakers this sound is super difficult [but] you will need to practice it let's practice together the difficult word like this one try it with me three three after Wednesday, we have Thursday same with me Thursday Thursday a word you will say many times during the date. Well, you should do if you're polite is this one Thank you Thank you [say] with me Thank you, and on special days you want to say Happy birthday [it's] not birthday. It's birthday birthday Say with me practice Birthday for a longer explanation of how exactly to make this sound with your mouth click here to see that video eight Eight you could have amazing pronunciation And then these words ah [they] let you down they disappoint you, so let's practice them this one is very often mispronounced not arks it's [ask] ah ask ask smooth them together ask Ask if you measure how tall something is you measure its height Not its height Height the same mistake I see in this word not wait note wait Wait this words.
