in this American English pronunciation video we're going to study American
English by looking at a short text topic what I ate for breakfast
I call this a Ben Franklin exercise
this is when you take very good notes very detailed notes on what you're
hearing and then go back and try to record yourself based on what you've
written down the notes
did you write down a flap T or the way two words linked together after you've
recorded yourself
compare it to the original did you do everything that you wanted to do in this
video we're going to take notes together this morning for breakfast I had barbers
shredded oats with milk
this is my favorite breakfast but sometimes i do have eggs
so let's take a look at what's happening here this morning for breakfast
one of the first things I noticed is how much this
S&M were connected this morning this morning
it's almost like the S went on the next word this morning this morning this
morning this morning for breakfast
did you notice how i pronounce the word for that was reduced to fir fir fir very
quick with the schwa our sound fer fer for breakfast this morning for breakfast
also i notice the rhythm here morn and rach are the two stressed syllables this
morning for breakfast
they have that sweeping up and then down shape of the voice that makes up a
stressed syllable
let's listen in slow motion this morning for breakfast this morning for breakfast
this morning for breakfast I had barbers shredded oats with milk
what do you hear as being the stressed syllables
I here Barbara's shredded and milk
what else do you notice i had barbers shredded oats with milk
I noticed that Barbara's is only two syllables even though it looks like it
might be three we sort of leave this middle sound out here
barb rus-rus also note this apostrophe s is Z sound
that's because the sound before is voiced so the '
s is also voiced z res res Barbara's i also noticed that the e.d ending here is
pronounced as the as in sit vowel
d sound that's because the sound before was a d.ed endings are among the few
cases in American English that follow regular roles
I had barbers shredded oats with milk I noticed that the word with is not
reduced but it's very flat in pitch because it is unstressed with with with
it's also quite fast with milk with with with with milk
I had barbers shredded oats with milk let's listen in slow motion
I had barbers shredded oats with milk
I had barbers shredded of with milk
I had barbers shredded oats with milk this is my favorite breakfast
what was stressed in that sentence I heard fav and Rec also these three words
this is my those were incredibly fast
listen again this is my favorite breakfast
so this string of three unstressed words this is my this is my this is my this is
my very fast and very connected
i also noticed that the word favorite was pronounced with only two syllables
as if this letter was dropped
fav RIT favorite favorite
this is my favorite breakfast I'm also noticing this T pronunciation the final
teen favorite was pronounced as a stop
favorite favorite favorite breakfast
so there was no release of the T sound favorite breakfast
let's listen in slow motion this is my favorite breakfast
this is my favorite breakfast
this is my favorite breakfast but sometimes i do have that
eggs did you notice the lift here where the , is but sometimes i do have eggs
there was just a little pause there for the punctuation
I also notice how I stress the word do i do i do have eggs but sometimes i do
have eggs
the word eggs even though it's a Content word a noun which is usually stressed
doesn't have that much stress
I notice because it's at the end of a sentence I do have eggs eggs eggs with
just a little curve up and then down in the voice I do have eggs also the plural
ending here s is pronounced as Izzy
that's because the sound before the G sound is a voiced consonant eggs eggs
let's listen in slow motion but sometimes i do have eggs but sometimes i
do have eggs but sometimes i do have eggs
so just three little sentences but we really were able to study a lot about
American English pronunciation
let's listen once in slow motion this morning for breakfast I had barbers
shredded oats with milk
this is my favorite breakfast but sometimes i do have eggs
I hope this has given you some ideas on how to take notes and study the speech
of native speakers do this on your own
take video and audio clips that interest you or they have topics that are
important to your field of work after you take good notes record the text
yourself and compared to the original recording
what do you still need to work on or what did you do well this is a great way
to improve your pronunciation
