What Makes American English Sound American Studying English American English Pronunciation

Today we’re continuing studying English with the Friends Christmas episode where Rachel quits her job.

Now, last week on our video she quit her job.

This week she’s just had a job interview and she’s talking about it.

We’re going to use this scene to study American English pronunciation

and figure out what makes American English sound American.

Here’s the scene we’ll study today.

Hey. How’d the interview go?

Ugh. I blew it. I wouldn’t have even hired me.

Oh. Come here, sweetie. Listen. You’re going to go on, like, a thousand interviews before you get a job.

That’s not how that was supposed to come out.

It’s just the worst Christmas ever.

You know what, Rach, maybe you should just, you know, stay here at the coffee house.

I can’t. It’s too late. Terry already hired that girl over there.

Look at her, she’s even got waitress experience. Ugh.

And now the analysis.

Hey. How’d the interview go?

Chandler starts out up down shape of stress hey, hey, uh, uh. Hey. How’d the interview go?

Hey. How’d the interview go?

His H is not very clear or loud here hey, hey, hey.

Hey. How’d the interview go?

How’d the interview go?

The stressed syllable of interview is the most stressed syllable in that whole thought group,

how’d the and the first two words lead up to that peak. How’d the interview go,

and the last three syllables come away from that peak.

Now, are you noticing how that T is pronounced? Interview, it’s totally dropped.

It’s fairly common to drop the T when it comes after N like an interview, internet, international.

How’d the interview go?

The apostrophe D here is the word did.

We can also do would, how’d you do that, how would you do that but in this case it’s did, how’d, how’d, how’d.

Just a D sound at the end: how’d the.

Now, we don’t release the D. We have the OW, diphthong OW and D voiced TH. How’d the–

So the D is subtle. The tongue is in position, the vocal chords make the noise but then

the transition goes quickly into the voiced TH, how the, how the–

and Chandler does say the E as in she vowel for the word the instead of the.

That’s because the next word begins with a vowel or diphthong and that is the rule.

If the next word begins with a vowel or diphthong the final sound of this word is the E as in she vowel

however I have noticed Americans don’t follow that rule very closely.

But Chandler does here, the interview.

How’d the interview go?

Ugh. I blew it.

Ugh. Ugh. Just a sound of exasperation ugh but even that has an up-down shape ugh.

Ugh.

Ugh. I blew it.

I is really hard to hear almost imperceptible; I blew it.

I know it’s there grammatically, but we really barely hear it.

Blew, I blew it, blew is the stressed syllable there.

I blew it.

I blew it, blew it. She does release a true T here and the two words link together very smoothly.

If you blow something that means you do a poor job at it.

You can blow an interview, you can blow a test, you can blow a project, you can blow a first impression.

Ugh. I blew it. It did not go well.

I blew it.

I blew it. I wouldn’t have even hired me.

Okay. In her next sentence what are our most stressed words?

I wouldn’t have even hired me.

I has a lot of stress there. That’s a little unusual.

I wouldn’t have even hired me. High and a little bit on me too.

So, usually we don’t stress I but for the meaning in this sentence, she is.

I wouldn’t have even hired me.

Let’s listen to just those three words wouldn’t have even.

…wouldn’t have even

Wouldn’t have even, wouldn’t have even, wouldn’t have even, wouldn’t have even.

A little bit hard to tell that’s wouldn’t have even if you hear just that.

So, wouldn’t have becomes wouldn’t have, wouldn’t have, wouldn’t have, wouldn’t have.

…wouldn’t have

…wouldn’t have even.

Wouldn’t have even becomes wouldn' have even.

So, the T. I listened to it a bunch of times to decide. Did I think it was totally dropped or did I think it’s a little bit of a stop T?

I think you could do either. You could do a really light stop T, or you could just drop it: wouldn' have–

Wouldn' have even, wouldn' have even, wouldn' have even.

The H is dropped, the word have is reduced to SCHWA V wouldn' ‘ave even,

wouldn’ ‘ave even, wouldn’ ‘ave even, wouldn’ ‘ave even, wouldn’ ‘‘ave even.

…wouldn’t have even

These kinds of simplifications are key in American English.

They provide contrast to the stressed syllables the stressed words like the word hired.

…wouldn’t have even hired me.

The ed ending in hired is a D sound because the sound before was voiced it was the R consonant,

hired me. So, we have the R sound, the D sound and the M sound.

The D is very subtle. I actually don’t think I really hear it.

I feel like it’s more dropped hired me, hired me hired me.

…hired me

If anything, it’s just a very subtle D sound in the vocal chords

just like up here the D sound before the voiced TH. So, it’s not a clear D.

It’s not hired me but it’s hired me, hired me.

If anything, it’s just d, d, d a very quick subtle D sound not released.

Just the vocal cords vibrating with the tongue in the position.

…hired me.

…hired me.
Oh.

Oh. Oh. His voice sort of has a nasal quality to it here I’m just noticing.

Oh, oh, a little bit of sympathy, oh.

Oh.

Oh. Come here, sweetie.

What is our stress in this three word thought group?

Come here, sweetie.

Come here, sweetie. Come here becomes c’mere, c’mere, c’mere.

The word come reduced. I would write that K SCHWA M

and actually M takes over the SCHWA. It’s a syllabic consonant so it’s really just like KM, k’m here, k’m here.

The H is dropped, come ‘ere, come ‘ere, come ‘ere, come ‘ere, sweetie, come ‘ere sweetie.

Come here, sweetie

Come here, sweetie.

And stress on that k’m ‘ere sweetie.

Sweetie with a flap T because the T comes between two vowels sweetie,

k’m ‘ere sweetie, k’m ‘ere sweetie. So, it’s not come here it’s k’m ‘ere.

That’s a very common way to pronounce those two words together, k’m ‘ere, k’m ‘ere sweetie.

Come here, sweetie.

Come here, sweetie. Listen.

Listen.

First syllable stress we have that up-down shape

listen and the second syllable just comes
in on the way down.

The T in listen is silent.

That’s just the pronunciation, it’s not
something Americans do,

it’s the actual official pronunciation.

Up here the actual official
pronunciation of here is

with the H but every once in a while we
drop it like in this phrase

but in this word it’s just not ever
pronounced, listen.

Listen.

Listen. You’re going to go on, like…

Okay. So, he puts a little break here.

So, in this thought group

what do you hear as being the
most stressed syllable.

You’re going to go on like…

You’re going to go on like.

You’re going go- I hear go, the verb as the most stressed.

You are going to becomes you’re gonna,
you’re gonna, you’re gonna.

You are you’re becomes yer, yer, yer.

Just a Y sound and a R sound.
You don’t need to try to make the SCHWA.

R is also a syllabic consonant, it
overpowers the SCHWA yer, yer, yer.

Going to becomes gonna so you are going to is

you’re gonna, you’re gonna,
you’re gonna, you’re gonna

You’re going to…

You’re gonna go, you’re gonna go.

You’re going to go….

You’re going to go…

You’re going to go on like…

On and like just falling in pitch away from
the peak of stress at go.

Go on like, go on like.

…go on like…

…go on like a thousand interviews
before you get a job.

Okay and in this next thought group what
is the most stressed syllable?

…a thousand interviews before you get a job.

… a thousand interviews before you get a job.

A thousand. I think thou has the most stress.

A thousand

interviews before, a little bit of
stress here as well,

before you get a job,
but I think the most stress is on thousand.

So, that word begins with an unvoiced TH.

You do need to bring your tongue tip through the teeth for that a thousand.

…a thousand…

And the letter A here just a SCHWA.

A thousand, oops I just realized

there’s a typo here isn’t there?

There’s an A in that word a thousand.

…a thousand…

…a thousand interviews…

Interviews, interviews, again he drops the T it’s a very normal and natural pronunciation interviews.

…interviews…

It’s so weird I have never noticed this about Ross before and yes I’ve seen this show

but his R in interviews and before is a little weak

which is a little bit of a New York accent
interviews before.

…interviews before…

…interviews before you get a job.

I definitely recommend you stick with a
standard American accent

which does have a bit of a stronger R sound in those words interviews before you get a job.

…interviews before you get a job.

… interviews before you get a job.

Before you get a job, before you get a job.

You can really feel that stress before you
get a job, da-da-da-da-da-da.

It starts to feel like a music a little bit when you study the stress before you get a job.

You get a, all lower in pitch flatter.

Again, the letter A is just a quick SCHWA
linking the words together.

The T in get is a flap T.
It comes between two vowels,

it links those words together, you get a job.

…you get a job.

That’s not how that was supposed to come out.

So, of course what he meant was it takes
a lot of tries to actually get a job.

What it sounded like was she’s
not going to interview

very well and is going to have to do it a
thousand times before she gets a job.

So, that’s what he meant when he said that’s not how that was supposed to come out.

We say that if we say something and the meaning didn’t quite come across right.

That’s not how that was supposed to come out.

That’s not how that was, that’s not how that was supposed to come out.

Come out, a phrasal verb.

That’s not how that was supposed to come out.

That’s not how that was…
So, we have a full A vowel in that’s

both times it doesn’t reduce that’s not how that was.

We have a stop T in this word that.

That was, that was, that was.

It’s not released, that would be that was, that was over pronounced. We don’t release our T’s very often.

This is a stop T because the next word
begins with a consonant.

The word was is not pronounced

was, that’s stressed.

It was pronounced waz, waz.

That’s unstressed that waz, that waz.

That’s not how that was supposed to come out.

Supposed to,

these two words go together pretty frequently, and we don’t say supposed to, we say spose to, spose to.

…supposed…

…supposed to come out.

Listen to just supposed to come.

…supposed to come…

Supposed to come, supposed to come,
supposed to come.

So, we lose the first syllable, we lose the vowel and it’s really just an SP, spo, spo

then we have the O as a no diphthong and the stressed syllable spose to, to

then we have S, a true T or a flap T. Honestly

his T sounds weak to me

so I wouldn’t write it as a true T, spose to, spose to.

I would say that was more of a flap T D sound sposed to, sposed to, sposed to and then a SCHWA.

SO, supposed to, three syllables becomes
two sposed to, sposed to.

…supposed…

…supposed to come out.

And a stop T at the end of out because it’s
at the end of a thought group.

…was supposed to come out.

This is just the worst Christmas ever.

So, Phoebe

she’s not feeling good about Christmas I wrote this is but I actually think it’s,

it’s, it’s just the, it’s hard to hear, people
are laughing and it’s not very stressed

but really I think I’m just hearing an S sound or a TS sound

which means it’s would have been it instead of this is, it’s just, it’s just, just, just, just.

It’s just the worst…

It’s just the worst, t, t, t, t.
Just a quick TS sound.

We do reduce the word it’s this way.

We also reduce the word let’s this way, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go

and we reduce the word that’s this way,
that’s okay for example.

That’s okay can become ’s okay, So, we have a few words also what is, what

that can reduce to just the TS sound.

It’s just the worst.

It’s just the worst…

It’s just the worst Christmas ever.

What is the stress of this phrase? We know it’s is not stressed because it’s reduced, it’s low in pitch

and it’s kind of hard to hear

but what are the stressed syllables, the ones that are the clearest, the easiest to hear?

It’s just the worst Christmas ever.

Worst and ev’ have the most stress.

Now let’s look at our Ts.
We have a bunch that are dropped.

When a T is part of an ending cluster like the ST cluster and the next word begins with a consonant

like it does here with the, that T is dropped, jus’ the and that’s what she does take a listen.

It’s just the worst Christmas ever.

Then even in the stressed word worst it’s dropped because the next word begins with a consonant.

So, in both of those cases even though the word just

and the word worst even though those
words do have a T sound

the T was dropped because in this case the T came between two consonants.

Now, in the word Christmas the T also comes between two consonants and it’s also dropped

although, I guess I shouldn’t say it’s dropped because dropped means that it’s normally there

and it’s actually not normally there. There is no T sound in Christmas even though there is a letter T

because it comes between two consonants.
Chrismas, Chrismas.

So, we have just the worst Christmas but all with a no T’s. Jus’ the wors’ Chrismas ever.

It’s just the worst Christmas ever.

You know what, Rach, maybe you should just…You know what, Rach… You know what, Rach…

Know, definitely the most stressed word of that three word thought group.

You know what, Rach…

The word you, I actually think that that was reduced. I think not the OO vowel, but I think it was actually

reduced to the SCHWA yu, yu, yu know, yu know what.

That’s a pretty common reduction for the word too.

Yu know, Yu know what.

You know what…

You know what, Rach, maybe you should just…

And all of those words linked together really smoothly,

you know what.

Stop T, end of the thought group.

Rach, again up-down shape. It’s a stressed syllable.

You know what, Rach…

You know what, Rach, maybe you should just…

Maybe you should just and then the thought group ends here. There’s a little pause.

Let’s look at these four words.

Maybe you should just…

Maybe you should just, stress on may and just.

Maybe you should just…

You should just.

Okay. We have a couple reductions here. The word should is pronounced sh,

just SH and a SCHWA said quickly linking
right into the next sound

which is the J sound of just.

So, the L is always silent, but the D was
also dropped there.

I’ve noticed we do this sometimes when
the next word begins with a consonant

you should just, you should just, you should just.

Then we also have a dropped T. Now, why?

Before we dropped the T in just because it linked into a word that began with a constant.

Here it doesn’t but it’s just such a habit to
not pronounce the T in just

that we don’t do it sometimes
even when we pause.

Maybe you should jus’.

It simply ends in an S sound.

Maybe you should just…

Maybe you should just, you know…

You know, what’s the stress there

…you know…

You know, it’s definitely on no the word you again is reduced

just like it was up here in the phrase you know what,

you know, you know.

…you know…

…you know, stay here at the coffee house.

And in the rest of this sentence in this thought group what are the most stressed syllables?

…stay here at the coffee house.

… stay here at the coffee house.

I’m getting stay, a little bit on here, stay here at the coffee house.

So, four words that are a little bit longer.

In the word coffee the stressed word it’s only the stressed syllable that has that length.

The unstressed syllable will still be very short but at and the are not fully pronounced like that.

They are lower in pitch at the, at the, at
the, flat and the word at reduces,

the vowel changes to the SCHWA, the T is a stop T at the, at the, at the, here at the, here at the.

…stay here at the…

stay here at the coffee house.
I can’t.

Her voice is really breathy here.

She’s a little bit I don’t know if desperate is the right word exasperated but she’s just

she’s frustrated and that’s what’s
coming out in her voice.

That’s what this extra breathiness is doing.

I can’t.

I can’t, stress on the word can’t. She does
do a True T release.

We often don’t do that so she’s really stressing it by making that a True T.

I can’t.

I can’t. It’s too late.

It’s too late.

Too and late both stressed and again she
does a True T release here

where we would often make that a stop T because it’s at the end of a sentence.

So, by making these all True Ts she’s showing her desperation, her frustration.

The T in the word too is always a True T.

It’s too late.

Terry already hired that girl over there.

What’s our stress in this sentence?

Terry already hired that girl over there.

Terry, the name, the stressed syllable of Terry.

Terry already hired that girl over there.

Those are the most stressed syllables.

Also, the word Terry also has a True T.

We’re actually getting some True T practice here because it begins a stressed syllable,

Terry already hired.

Terry already hired…

Terry already hired, Terry already hired,
already, already, already.

She’s not making an L sound in the word already and that’s pretty common.

I don’t do that either.

Already, already, already, already,
just a really quick vowel

and then the stressed syllable already,
already, already.

Terry already…

That’s an all as in AH vowel already, already, already, already, already hired that girl.

Again, the D sound not released just a quick vibration in the vocal cords before going on to the next sound.

Hired that girl, Stop T in that because the next word begins with a consonant.

Terry already hired that girl…

Now, I know girl can be one of the trickiest words. It’s got the R vowel GU R and then a Dark L, gurl.

One thing that can help is to use the stress to your advantage, use the up-down shape

gurl and use that fall down in the pitch for your Dark L gurl, gurl, gurl over there.

…girl over there.

You do need to make sure you’re making
a dark sound

otherwise it won’t sound right.
It’s not a light L,

it’s a dark L because the L comes at the end of the syllable girl.

When I make that sound I don’t lift my
tongue tip at all, girl.

Now, you will lift it quickly before the O
diphthong to differentiate

girl over, over,

girl over but you want the dark sound before you lift your tongue tip otherwise it sounds like

girl and that’s not quite American girl, girl over there.

…girl over there.

If you’re a Spanish speaker make sure you’re making a V and not a B,

Vvvvv

you can see some of your teeth when you make that sound.

If your lips are closed then it’s a B. Try to work on a separate V sound over there.

…girl over there.

And she laughs a little bit as she says there, there.

…there.

Look at her.

What’s our stress in this
three word thought group.

Look at her.

Look at her. Very obvious first word stress,

look at her and then the unstressed words just come in on the way down for the pitch, look at her.

Now, this is a light L because it comes at the beginning of the syllable or in this case the word

so you will lift your tongue tip, look at her.

The word at what do you notice about the pronunciation.

Look at her.

It’s not AH at but it’s look at her. It almost sounds like the word it which has the /I/ as in sit vowel.

It’s the SCHWA look at her and I think that the SCHWA and the IH as in sit vowel sound pretty much the same

when the IH is unstressed and they’re said quickly, look at her and there is a stop T there, look at her.

Look at her.

That double O in look is the same vowel
as in push or sugar.

Don’t let the double-O fool you it’s not OO,
it’s U luk, luk at her.

Look at her.

Look at her. She’s even got waitress experience.

What’s the stress of this last sentence.

She’s even got waitress experience.

She’s even got, little stress on even she’s even got waitress experience.

I would say most of the stress is on that
first syllable of waitress.

She’s even got waitress experience.

The apostrophe s in she’s is a Z sound
that links right into the next vowel,

which is the E vowel she’s even, even, even. She’s even got, try that. She’s even got…

She’s even got…

She’s even got waitress experience.

A stop T at the end of got because the next sound is a consonant waitress experience.

…waitress experience.

Waitress, we have a TR cluster and it’s common for that to become CHR and that’s exactly what happens here,

waichress experience.

…waitress experience.

Experience, a four syllable word with stress on the second syllable ex-pe-rience, ex-pe-rience.

When you have a longer word that feels tricky focus on the stress that can help a lot with the pronunciation.

It can help you figure out where to
simplify experience, experience.

…experience.

…experience. Ugh.

Ugh.

Even that expression has an up-down
shape, the shape of stress, ugh.

Ugh.

Let’s listen to the whole conversation one more time.

Hey. How’d the interview go?

Ugh. I blew it.

I wouldn’t have even hired me.

Oh. Come here, sweetie. Listen.

You’re going to go on, like, a thousand
interviews before you get a job.

That’s not how that was supposed to come out.

It’s just the worst Christmas ever.

You know what, Rach, maybe you should just, you know, stay here at the coffee house.

I can’t. It’s too late.

Terry already hired that girl over there.

Look at her, she’s even got waitress experience. Ugh.

今天，我们将继续与瑞秋辞掉工作的《老友记》圣诞节插曲一起学习英语。

现在，上周在我们的视频中，她辞掉了工作。

本周她刚刚接受了一次工作面试，她正在谈论它。

我们将使用这个场景来研究美式英语的发音，

并找出是什么让美式英语听起来像美国人。

这是我们今天要研究的场景。

嘿。面试怎么样？

啊。我搞砸了。我什至不会雇用我。

哦。过来，亲爱的。听。在你找到工作之前，你要进行一千次面试。

这不是应该的结果。

这只是有史以来最糟糕的圣诞节。

你知道吗，拉赫，也许你应该，你知道，留在咖啡馆里。

我不能。太晚了。特里已经雇佣了那边的那个女孩。

看她，她甚至有服务员的经验。啊。

现在分析。

嘿。面试怎么样？

Chandler 开始时压力很大，嘿，嘿，呃，呃。嘿。面试怎么样？

嘿。面试怎么样？

他的H在这里不是很清楚或很大声嘿嘿嘿。

嘿。面试怎么样？

面试怎么样？

采访的重读音节是整个思想组中重读最多的音节，

the 和前两个词是如何导致那个高峰的。面试怎么样

，最后三个音节都离那个峰顶了。

现在，你注意到 T 的发音了吗？面试，完全挂了。

在 N 之后去掉 T 是很常见的，比如面试、互联网、国际。

面试怎么样？

这里的撇号 D 是这个词。

我们也可以这样做，你是怎么做到的，你是怎么做到的，但在这种情况下，它做到了，怎么做，怎么做，怎么做。

最后只是一个D音：怎么了。

现在，我们不发布 D。我们有 OW、双元音 OW 和 D 浊音 TH。怎么–

所以D是微妙的。舌头就位，声带发出声音，但

随后过渡迅速进入浊音 TH，how the，how the -

并且 Chandler 确实说出了 E ，就像她在单词 the 的元音中一样，而不是 the。

那是因为下一个单词以元音或双元音开头，这就是规则。

如果下一个单词以元音或双元音开头，则该单词的最后一个音是 E 元音，

但我注意到美国人并没有非常严格地遵循该规则。

但钱德勒在这里进行了采访。

面试怎么样？

啊。我搞砸了。

啊。啊。只是愤怒的声音呃，但即使这样也有一个上下的形状呃。

啊。

啊。我搞砸了。

我真的很难听到几乎听不见；我搞砸了。

我知道它在语法上就在那里，但我们真的几乎听不到它。

Blew，I Blow it，Blew 是那里的重读音节。

我搞砸了。

我吹了，吹了。她确实在这里释放了一个真正的T，这两个词非常顺利地连接在一起。

如果你吹了一些东西，这意味着你在这方面做得很差。

你可以搞砸面试，你可以搞砸一个测试，你可以搞砸一个项目，你可以搞砸第一印象。

啊。我搞砸了。它并不顺利。

我搞砸了。

我搞砸了。我什至不会雇用我。

好的。在她的下一句话中，我们最强调的词是什么？

我什至不会雇用我。

我在那里压力很大。这有点不寻常。

我什至不会雇用我。高，对我也有点。

所以，通常我们不强调我，而是为了这句话的意思，她是。

我什至不会雇用我。

让我们听听这三个字就没有了。

……甚至不会

……甚至不会……甚至不会……甚至

不会，甚至不会，甚至不会，甚至不会，甚至不会。

即使你听到了，也很难说那是不会的。

所以，不会变成不会有，不会有，不会有，不会有。

……不会

……不会……甚至不会。

不会甚至变成不会甚至。

所以，T。我听了很多次才决定。我认为它完全被放弃了，还是我认为它有点停止T？

我想你也可以。你可以做一个非常轻的停止T，或者你可以放弃它：

would’have–would’ve even，woul’ve even，would’ve even。

H 被删除，单词 have 简化为 SCHWA V would’ ‘ave even，would’ ‘ave even，would’ ‘ave even，would’ ‘ave even，would

' ‘ave even。

…wouldn’t have even

…wouldnt have even

这些简化是美式英语的关键。

它们提供了与重读音节形成对比的重读词，例如雇用的词。

…甚至不会雇用我。

以hired 结尾的ed 是D 音，因为之前的发音是R 辅音，

请来了我。所以，我们有 R 音、D 音和 M 音。

D非常微妙。我真的不认为我真的听到了。

我觉得它更像是雇用了我，雇用了我雇用了我。

…雇用我

如果有的话，它只是声带中非常微妙的 D 声音，

就像这里的 D 声音在浊音 TH 之前一样。所以，这不是一个明确的 D。

它没有雇用我，但它雇用了我，雇用了我。

如果有的话，它只是 d, d, d 一个非常快速的微妙 D 音没有释放。

只是声带随着舌头在该位置振动。

…雇用了我。

…雇用我。
哦。

哦。哦。他的声音有点鼻音，我只是注意到了。

哦，哦，有点同情，哦。

哦。

哦。过来，亲爱的。

我们在这个三字思想组中的压力是什么？

过来，亲爱的。

过来，亲爱的。来这里就变成了c’mere，c’mere，c’mere。

词来减少。我会写 K SCHWA M

，实际上 M 接管了 SCHWA。这是一个音节辅音，所以它真的就像 KM, k’m here, k’m here。

H 掉线了，来吧，来吧，来吧，来吧，来吧，亲爱的，来吧，亲爱的。

过来，亲爱的，

过来，亲爱的。

并强调那个k’m’ere sweetie。

Sweetie 带有翻盖 T，因为 T 位于两个元音

sweetie、k’m ‘ere sweetie、k’m ‘ere sweetie 之间。所以，它不是来这里，它是 k’m ‘ere。

这是将这两个词一起发音的一种非常常见的方式，k’m ‘ere, k’m ‘ere sweetie。

过来，亲爱的。

过来，亲爱的。听。

听。

第一个音节重音我们有上下的形状

听，第二个音节只是
在下降的过程中出现。

听中的 T 是无声的。

那只是发音，这
不是美国人做的事情，

这是实际的官方发音。

在这里，here 的实际官方
发音

是 H，但每隔一段时间我们
就会像在这个短语中那样放弃它，

但在这个词中它只是从未
发音过，听着。

听。

听。你会继续，就像……

好吧。所以，他在这里稍作休息。

因此，在这个思想组中

，您听到的
压力最大的音节是什么。

你会继续…

You’re going go - 我听到 go，动词是最重的。

你会变成你会，
你会，你会。

你是你成为你，你，你。

只是一个Y音和一个R音。
您无需尝试制作 SCHWA。

R也是一个音节辅音，它
压倒了SCHWA yer, yer, yer。

会变成会所以你会是

你会，你会，
你会，

你会 …

你会去的，你会去的。

你会去……

你会继续……继续

，就像只是在球场上下降，远离
压力的高峰。

继续喜欢，继续喜欢。

…继续…

…继续进行一千次面试，
然后才能找到工作。

好的，在下一个思考组
中，最重读的音节是什么？

…在您找到工作之前进行一千次面试。

… 在你找到工作之前进行一千次面试。

一千。我觉得你压力最大。之前

的一千次

面试，在
这里也有一点压力，

在你找到工作之前，
但我认为最大的压力是一千次。

所以，这个词以清音 TH 开头。

为了那一千，你确实需要把你的舌尖穿过牙齿。

…一千…

这里的字母A只是一个SCHWA。

一千，哎呀，我刚刚意识到

这里有一个错字，不是吗？

一千这个词中有一个A。

…一千…

…一千采访…

采访，采访，他又掉了T，这是一个非常正常和自然的发音采访。

…采访…

这太奇怪了，我以前从未注意到罗斯的这一点，是的，我看过这个节目，

但他在采访和之前的 R 有点弱

这就是之前采访的一点点纽约口音
。

…之前的面试…

…之前的面试… …在你找到工作之前的面试。

我绝对建议你在找工作之前坚持
标准的美国口音

，在这些词的面试中确实有一点 R 音。

…在你找到工作之前的面试。

… 在你找到工作之前进行面试。

在你找到工作之前，在你找到工作之前。

在你找到工作之前，你真的可以感受到那种压力
，da-da-da-da-da-da。

当你在找到工作之前研究压力时，它开始有点像一首音乐。

你得到一个，所有的音调都变平了。

同样，字母 A 只是将单词连接在一起的快速 SCHWA
。

get 中的 T 是一个拍音 T。
它出现在两个元音之间，

它将这些词连接在一起，你得到了一份工作。

……你得到一份工作。

这不是应该的结果。

所以，当然，他的意思是
要真正找到一份工作需要很多努力。

这听起来像是她
不会很好地面试，

而且
在她找到工作之前必须做一千次。

所以，这就是他的意思，当他说这不是应该的结果时。

我们说，如果我们说了什么，但意思并不完全正确。

这不是应该的结果。

事情不是这样的，这不是应该的结果。

出来，一个短语动词。

这不是应该的结果。

不是这样的……
所以，我们有一个完整的 A 元音，

这两次都没有减少，这不是这样的。

在这个词中我们有一个停止T。

那是，那是，那是。

它没有发布，那就是那是，那是过度发音。我们不经常发布我们的 T。

这是一个停止 T，因为下一个单词
以辅音开头。

was这个词不发音

是，那是强调的。

发音为 waz，waz。

那是没有压力的那个waz，那个waz。

这不是应该的结果。

假设，

这两个词经常一起出现，我们不说应该，我们说 spose to，spose to。

…应该…

…应该出来。

听听刚刚应该来。

…应该来…

应该来，应该来，
应该来。

所以，我们失去了第一个音节，我们失去了元音，它实际上只是一个 SP、spo、spo，

然后我们将 O 作为一个非双元音，而重读音节表示 to，

然后我们有 S、一个真正的 T 或一个襟翼 T. 老实说，

他的 T 对我来说听起来很弱，

所以我不会把它写成真正的 T，假设，假设。

我会说那更像是一个襟翼 T D 声音，被放置，放置，放置，然后是 SCHWA。所以

，sposed to，三个音节变成了
两个sposed to，sposed to。

…应该…

…应该出来。

并在结束时停止 T，因为它
位于思想组的末尾。

……应该出来的。

这只是有史以来最糟糕的圣诞节。

所以，菲比，她对

圣诞节感觉不太好或 TS 声音

，这意味着它会是它而不是 this is，it’s just，it’s just，just，just，just。

这只是最糟糕的……

这只是最糟糕的，t，t，t，t。
只是一个快速的 TS 声音。

我们确实以这种方式减少了这个词。

我们还减少单词 let’s this way，let’s go，let’s go，let’s go

，我们减少单词 that’s this way，
例如，没关系。

That’s OK 可以变成’s OK，所以，我们也有几句话是什么，

什么可以减少到只是 TS 声音。

这只是最糟糕的。

这只是最糟糕的……

这只是有史以来最糟糕的圣诞节。

这句话的重音是什么？我们知道它不是重读的，因为它被降低了，它的音调很低，

而且有点难以听到，

但是重读音节是什么，最清晰、最容易听到的音节是什么？

这只是有史以来最糟糕的圣诞节。

Worst 和 ev’ 的压力最大。

现在让我们看看我们的 Ts。
我们有一堆被丢弃的。

当 T 是像 ST 簇这样的结尾簇的一部分时，下一个单词以辅音开头，

就像这里的 the 一样，那个 T 被丢弃，就是’ the ，这就是她要听的。

这只是有史以来最糟糕的圣诞节。

然后即使在重读的单词中最糟糕的情况下，它也会被删除，因为下一个单词以辅音开头。

因此，在这两种情况下，即使单词 just

和单词最差，即使这些
单词确实有 T

音，T 也会被删除，因为在这种情况下，T 位于两个辅音之间。

现在，在圣诞节这个词中，T 也出现在两个辅音之间，而且它也被丢弃了，

但我想我不应该说它被丢弃了，因为丢弃意味着它通常在那里

，但实际上它通常不在那里。即使有一个字母 T，圣诞节也没有 T 音，

因为它位于两个辅音之间。
圣诞节，圣诞节。

所以，我们刚刚度过了最糟糕的圣诞节，但都没有 T。永远的圣诞节。

这只是有史以来最糟糕的圣诞节。

你知道吗，Rach，也许你应该……你知道吗，Rach……你知道吗，Rach……

知道，绝对是这三个词思想组中最重的词。

你知道吗，瑞奇……

你这个词，我实际上认为那是减少了。我认为不是OO元音，但我认为它实际上被

简化为SCHWA yu，yu，yu know，yu know what。

这也是这个词的一个很常见的缩略词。

禹知道，禹知道什么。

你知道…

你知道吗，Rach，也许你应该只是

… 所有这些词联系在一起真的很流畅，

你知道的。

停止 T，思想组结束。

Rach，又是上下形状。这是一个重读音节。

你知道吗，Rach……

你知道吗，Rach，也许你应该……

也许你应该就这样，然后思想小组就到此为止。有一点停顿。

我们来看看这四个字。

也许你应该……

也许你应该……也许你应该……

也许你应该……强调可能和公正。

也许你应该……

你应该……

好的。我们在这里有一些减少。单词应该发音为 sh，

只是 SH 和一个 SCHWA 表示快速
连接到下一个声音

，即 just 的 J 音。

因此，L 始终保持沉默，但 D
也被丢弃在那里。

我注意到有时
当下一个单词以辅音开头时我们会这样做，

you should just, you should just, you should just。

然后我们也有一个下降的T。现在，为什么？

之前我们只是因为它链接到一个以常数开头的单词而放弃了 T。

在这里它没有，但是不发音 T 只是一种习惯，

因为我们有时
甚至在暂停时也不这样做。

也许你应该只是’。

它只是以 S 音结束。

也许你应该……

也许你应该……你知道……

你知道，那里有什么压力

……你知道

…………你知道

…… 你知道…

你知道，绝对不会出现你再次被简化的词，

就像它在这里出现在你知道什么，

你知道，你知道的短语中一样。

…你知道…

…你知道，留在咖啡馆。

在这个思想组的这句话的其余部分中，最重读的音节是什么？

…留在咖啡馆。

… 留在咖啡馆。

我要留下来，在这里稍等一下，留在咖啡馆。

所以，四个字有点长。

在单词coffee 中，重读词只有重读音节有这个长度。

非重读音节仍然很短，但 at 和 the 并没有完全发音。

它们在 the, at the, at the, flat 处的音调较低
，并且单词 at 减少

，元音变为 SCHWA，T 是停止 T at the, at the, at the, here at the, here at the .

……待在

………………待在……

待在咖啡馆。
我不能。

她的声音在这里真的很大气。

她有一点我不知道“绝望”这个词是否正确，但她只是

感到沮丧，这
就是她声音中的意思。

这就是这种额外的呼吸正在做的事情。

我不能。

我不能，强调这个词不能。她确实
做了一个真正的 T 版本。

我们经常不这样做，所以她真的把它变成了真正的 T 来强调它。

我不能。

我不能。太晚了。

太晚了。

太晚了，都强调了，她
在这里做了一个真正的 T 释放

，我们经常把它变成一个停止 T，因为它在句子的结尾。

所以，通过让这些都是真实的 T，她表现出她的绝望，她的挫败感。

单词中的 T 也始终是 True

T。为时已晚。

太晚了。

特里已经雇佣了那边的那个女孩。

这句话中我们的压力是什么？

特里已经雇佣了那边的那个女孩。

特里，名字，特里的重读音节。

特里已经雇佣了那边的那个女孩。

这些是重音最多的音节。

此外，Terry 这个词也有一个 True T。

我们实际上在这里进行了一些 True T 练习，因为它以重读音节开头，

Terry 已经雇用了。

特里已经被雇佣了……

特里已经被雇佣了，特里已经被雇佣了，
已经，已经，已经。

她还没有在这个词中发出 L 音，这很常见。

我也不那样做。

已经，已经，已经，已经，
只是一个非常快速的元音

，然后是重读音节已经，
已经，已经。

特里已经……

这就是AH元音中的全部，已经，已经，已经，已经雇用了那个女孩。

同样，D 音在进入下一个音之前并没有在声带中释放出快速的振动。

雇用那个女孩，停止 T，因为下一个单词以辅音开头。

特里已经雇用了那个女孩……

现在，我知道女孩可能是最棘手的词之一。它有 R 元音 GU R，然后是 Dark L, gurl。

可以帮助的一件事是利用压力来发挥你的优势，使用上下形状的

gurl 并在球场上使用你的 Dark L gurl，gurl，gurl 那里的倒下。

……那边的女孩。

你确实需要确保你发出
的声音很暗，

否则听起来会不对。
它不是浅 L，

而是深 L，因为 L 出现在音节 girl 的末尾。

当我发出那个声音时，我根本不会抬起我的
舌尖，女孩。

现在，您将在 O 双元音之前快速抬起它
以区分

girl over、over、

girl over，但您希望在抬起舌尖之前发出黑暗的声音，否则听起来像

女孩，那不是美国女孩，那边的女孩。

……那边的女孩。

如果您是说西班牙语的人，请确保您发出的是 V 而不是 B，

Vvvvv

当您发出该声音时，您可以看到您的一些牙齿。

如果你的嘴唇是闭着的，那么它就是一个 B。试着在那里工作一个单独的 V 音。

……那边的女孩。

当她说那里，那里时，她笑了一点。

…那里。

看着她。

我们在这个
三字思想组中的压力是什么。

看着她。

看着她。非常明显的第一个词重音，

看看她，然后在下场的路上，不重音的词就进来了，看看她。

现在，这是一个轻 L，因为它出现在音节的开头，或者在这种情况下是单词的开头，

所以你会抬起你的舌尖，看着她。

你注意到这个词的发音。

看着她。

不是啊，而是看着她。它几乎听起来像在坐元音中具有 /I/ 的单词 it。

是 SCHWA 看着她，我认为 SCHWA 和 IH 就像坐元音一样，

当 IH 没有重读并且他们很快说出来时，听起来几乎一样，看看她，那里有一个停顿 T，看看她 .

看着她。

外观中的双 O 与
push 或 sugar 中的元音相同。

不要让双 O 欺骗你，这不是 OO，
而是 U luk，luk 在她身上。

看着她。

看着她。她甚至有服务员的经验。

这最后一句话的重音是什么。

她甚至有服务员的经验。

她甚至有，即使她有服务员经验，压力也很小。

我想说大部分压力都在
女服务员的第一个音节上。

她甚至有服务员的经验。

she’s 中的撇号 s 是一个 Z 音
，直接连接到下一个元音，

即 she’s even, even, even 的 E 元音。她甚至有，试试看。她甚至有……

她甚至有……

她甚至有服务员经验。

got 结尾的停顿 T 因为下一个声音是辅音的女服务员体验。

…女服务员的经验。

女服务员，我们有一个 TR 集群，它成为 CHR 很常见，而这正是这里发生的事情，

女服务员的经验。

…女服务员的经验。

经验，一个四音节单词，重读第二个音节 ex-pe-rience, ex-pe-rience。

当您有一个较长的单词感觉很棘手时，请专注于对发音有很大帮助的压力。

它可以帮助你弄清楚在哪里
简化体验，体验。

…经验。

…经验。啊。

啊。

连那个表情都有上下
的形状，压力的形状，呃。

啊。

让我们再听一遍整个对话。

嘿。面试怎么样？

啊。我搞砸了。

我什至不会雇用我。

哦。过来，亲爱的。听。

在你找到工作之前，你将继续进行一千次面试。

这不是应该的结果。

这只是有史以来最糟糕的圣诞节。

你知道吗，瑞秋，也许你应该，你知道，留在咖啡馆里。

我不能。太晚了。

特里已经雇佣了那边的那个女孩。

看她，她甚至有服务员的经验。啊。
