FAST ENGLISH the for reduction The 1 Secret You Need for Speaking English Fast

what is the trick of native speakers

that helps them speak so fast but still

be understood by other native speakers

with no problem as the non-native

speaker can you learn reductions and

sound more natural speaking English can

you learn how to speak English fast

while still being clear you bet that

means absolutely today we’re going to

study up close shots of the mouth while

we study the for reduction this video

has over 500 sentences so you can study

how native speakers use this reduction

to speak fast English while sounding

natural and clear and I guarantee you’re

going to be able to do it yourself we’re

going to break it down we’re going to

make it clear for you and even if this

is a concept that you know already all

about being able to see it up close and

in slow motion in action reveals so much

you’re going to get a lot better at it

and in working with these sentences

you’re really going to build towards

that habit of being able to do the

reduction perfectly without thinking

about it in conversation

let’s start a couple seconds on the

basics the word is fo are fully

pronounced written in IPA with the aw as

in law vowel but that our does change

the vowel it’s not a pure aa vowel it’s

full o 4 but we’re not here to perfect

the full pronunciation because this word

is rarely fully pronounced it’s almost

always reduced in IPA that’s written

with the schwa when the schwa is

followed by our you don’t need to try to

make a vowel at all the R overpowers the

schwa so your word becomes or fur sit as

quickly as you can for that’s a

reduction a reduction means a sound

changes or is dropped it’s not for its

fur let’s look at this up close and in

slow motion this is the phrase it’s just

for fun notice the T sound is dropped

here because it comes between two

consonants it’s just for fun it’s just

for fun this is something that you do

not because you benefit from it in time

or money or convenience but pleasure

it’s just for fun let’s say you’re

driving somewhere and you decide to take

away that’s longer because it’s prettier

we call that the scenic route you could

say let’s take the scenic route just for

fun first we’ll just watch the whole

sentence here it is it’s just for fun

it’s just for fun now we’ll see that

again and we’ll break down for it’s just

here we are in position for the F the

bottom lip is pulled up a little so the

inside is touching the bottom of the top

front teeth the top lip is lifted a

little so it’s not touching the bottom

lip

the correct position for the F is not

this don’t curl your lip in it’s the

inside of the lip here that touches here

see that very relaxed now let’s watch

the whole word for pronounced fur fur

wow that was fast

and this has even slowed down fur fur

now we’re back into position for the F

for the next word fun let’s watch just

the word firm a few times

try that now fur okay let’s finish the

phrase for fun for fun for fun fur is

much shorter than the stressed word fun

now we don’t want to rush through our

stressed words that would be fast

English but unclear English so know your

reductions learn them but don’t rush

through everything stressed syllables

should still be long and have that

up-down shape for fun for fun quick

2 3 click it ok now do you have to use

this for reduction if you want to sound

natural yes you do the alternative is

this just for fun just for fun a native

speaker would never pronounce it that

way a fully pronounced for short and

long that contrast is important in

American English so we need fur to have

contrast just for fun just for fun now

let’s look at that up close again

but this time at regular pace it’s just

for fun it’s just for fun it’s just for

fun now we’re going to isolate just the

word for it’s just ok my mouth is in

position for the F of 4

now let’s play just that word wow that

was fast

let’s see that three times

notice how we go right from the F into

our there’s no jaw drop to make a vowel

or anything like that the mouth movement

is minimal let’s watch just that word in

slow motion three times right now notice

how minimal the mouth movement is okay

let’s see for fun at regular pace now

for fun for the for reduction I love it

now we’ll look at the phrase it’s for

dinner in slow motion it’s for dinner

it’s here is the position for F I’m

starting the word for let’s hear it for

wow that was fast

I’m done with the are now and my mouth

is ready for the D in dinner

let’s hear just that word for again

let’s see the whole sense one more time

it’s for dinner let’s listen now at

regular pace you’ll see the full

sentence then just the word for isolated

it’s for dinner

it’s so fast isn’t it

try that with me now try it a few times

for you do it for for dinner for dinner

you’d do it for dinner

okay now you’d get it it’s time to watch

it listen to it practice it we’re going

to see over 500 sentences now knowing

about it will not change the way you

speak training and repetition is what

will change the way you speak if you’re

ready to set aside time for this kind of

work if you’re ready to change your

accent that’s exactly what we do in

video will work you’ll see the sentence

in slow motion four times try repeating

out loud the fourth time then you’ll see
