Thank you. There are more to come! I think the next ones will be on the glottal stop and then more elision and assimilation. Did you see the new video on the Irish accent? A good chance to hear authentic connected speech in use ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0-oU-nFx-SI.html
The newest video on similes shows us how to pronounce them using connected speech. Hopefully it's useful for you. Check it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dWRRyAOR97o.html
That's true teacher it's not FAST is NATURAL I always hear the dialogues bewtween native speakers on Netflix or perhaps some podcasts on my cell phone. Thanks for teaching wonderfully. Mmm let me think 1) The nicest person I know is my younger brother Sebastián We love him so much so my nephew has been named like his uncle 2) My favorite subject NO DOUBT English. 3) The hottest place I've been to was Misiones , a province of my beloved Argentina 4) The most beautiful city I've visited ... eh was Rosario, Santa Fe Argentina well Lionel Messi was born there.
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom Hi again teacher! Woah ! That's amazing well the majority loves Argentinian steaks. Anyway many years ago to be exact 20 years ago I became veggie.
Good question. I’ve been saying it to myself and I almost always pronounce the TH in ‘the’ but when I say it quickly the TH is very slight. It almost sounds like ‘catcha next one’
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom It happened because our Indonesian spelling works just like phonetic symbols do. Every letter represents one sound. That's why we always pronounce the "t" in words, like "listening" and "castle" l
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom The key to solving our pronunciation problem is to learn those 'easy' phonetic symbols and to stop treating English spelling as if it were Indonesian spelling. The next problem which we experience in speaking English is that we speak it as if it were a syllable-timed language...just like Indonesian, namely we do not recognize stress patterns, like WIN-dow, be-HIND, a-ME-ri-ca, in-for-MA-tion and op-por-TU-ni-ty,
@@ramamonato5039 yeah, that’s a big difference between syllable timed languages and stress timed languages. Word and sentence stress can be a big issue
Hi, there is another part of connected speech called 'glottalization'. So instead of pronouncing the /t/, there is a small pause with no sound. So 'a bottle of water' sounds like 'a bo_ ul of wa_ah'. So, yes. your example of 'city' and 'visited' could be 'ci_y' and 'visi_ed'. It's very common with some accents. I have a video planned for this soon, hopefully
