If you would like to improve your accent when you're speaking English,
0:03
in this video I'm going to give you a very important tip
0:07
that will definitely transform your accent.
0:09
You cannot neglect the melody of English.
0:12
Even if you're pronouncing all of the individual words
0:16
and the consonant and the vowel sounds correctly,
0:19
but you're not paying attention to the rhythm and the melody of your words,
0:23
your speech is going to sound choppy and unnatural,
0:27
and you even might sound less fluent.
0:30
In this video, I will teach you the secret to having a better accent
0:34
and sounding more like a native speaker.
0:36
I will also teach you some common everyday expressions
0:39
that native speakers use.
0:41
and I will teach you how to say them with the perfect American accent.
0:45
And even if you prefer a British accent, this video will also help you.
0:50
One of the fastest ways to reduce your foreign accent is for you to
0:54
focus on these three things:
0:56
word stress, word reduction, and connecting words, not pausing between thought groups.
1:04
In this lesson, we will focus on word reduction.
1:07
This is such an important topic and it's not commonly taught in English classes.
1:12
Maybe you've already thought about word stress
1:15
or maybe you've watched lessons on word stress.
1:18
But have you thought about word reduction?
1:21
That topic is just
1:22
as important as word stress for having a natural sounding
1:26
and a native sounding flow.
1:28
Native speakers don't pronounce every word clearly and fully.
1:32
If you don't reduce some words in your sentences,
1:36
your speech will sound choppy and robotic.
1:39
You will speak like this with each word stressed the same way.
1:42
Please pass the salt and pepper.
1:45
>> Hello, I'm Mike.
1:46
I am a robot.
1:47
I am here to serve you.
1:48
How can I help you?
1:50
>> When we reduce words, the vowel sounds almost disappear.
1:54
They become the schwa sound.
1:57
It's the h sound.
1:59
And the consonants are also sometimes eliminated.
2:02
Let's look at this pronoun.
2:04
You have probably learned that the pronunciation is our,
2:08
but let's listen to how native speakers are saying our house, our children,
2:13
and our school.
2:14
Listen carefully.
2:15
>> And so, we had tons of people over to our house.
2:18
>> There's hospice at our house.
2:19
What will happen to our house?
2:21
>> We have to talk to our children about it.
2:22
>> The sort of of planet we're going to leave behind for our children
2:25
and grandchildren. but to really ingrain within our school.
2:29
>> Notice that the O and the U are reduced.
2:32
They're not saying, they're saying uh it becomes awa sound.
2:36
Our house.
2:37
This is our house.
2:38
Let's practice that together.
2:40
Repeat after me.
2:42
This is our house.
2:45
Do you like our new car?
2:47
You say it.
2:49
They're our friends.
2:51
So they are our friends sounds very similar to they're our friends.
2:57
Remember in natural sounding speech pronouns are reduced
3:01
and they're connected to the words around them.
3:03
For special emphasis we make an exception and we don't reduce the pronoun.
3:08
This is ours.
3:09
It's not yours.
3:10
It's ours.
3:11
But otherwise we would simply say this is our house.
3:15
This is our car.
3:16
Let's talk about the two ways to pronounce the conjunction and.
3:20
In the strong form, it's pronounced as and.
3:24
But it's usually not pronounced that way in most situations.
3:28
You can pronounce it
3:29
that way only in these cases
3:32
when you need to speak especially slowly
3:34
or when you're pausing to think.
3:37
For example, I would like to order a sandwich and a salad.
3:43
Or when you want to emphasize the fact that there's another thing.
3:47
For example, you had pasta and pizza.
3:50
You speak Italian and Japanese.
3:53
Otherwise, we say and in its weak form and it sounds like this.
3:58
N.
4:00
The a becomes awah sound and the d disappears.
4:04
Let's practice.
4:05
Black and white.
4:07
Black and white.
4:08
We wouldn't say black and white.
4:11
Bacon and eggs.
4:13
Bacon and eggs.
4:15
Connect all of those three words and say them as one.
4:19
Don't pause.
4:20
Let's say that again.
4:21
Bacon and eggs.
4:24
These words are one unit and they belong together.
4:27
Now it's your turn.
4:28
How would you say these words?
4:30
You say them in and out.
4:34
I went to In-N-Out.
4:37
Have you ever gone to In-N-Out Burgers in California?
4:40
It's a really popular place.
4:42
How would we say this?
4:44
You say it again and again.
4:48
Again and again.
4:50
How about this?
4:51
You say it better and better.
4:54
Your English is getting better and better.
4:57
How about this one?
4:58
You say it.
5:01
Husband and wife.
5:03
Husband and wife.
5:05
I didn't say husband and wife.
5:07
That D disappeared.
5:09
And wife.
5:09
It's just a little N.
5:10
And wife.
5:11
Husband and wife.
5:13
Are they husband and wife?
5:16
Okay, let's keep practicing.
5:18
You will see some words on the screen
5:20
and you say them
5:21
as one unit.
5:23
Don't pronounce the d and reduce the a of and.
5:27
How would we say this?
5:28
You say it.
5:30
Mom and dad.
5:31
Have you met my mom and dad?
5:35
How about this one?
5:36
You say it.
5:39
Salt and pepper.
5:41
Salt and pepper.
5:42
Salt and pepper.
5:43
Repeat after me.
5:45
Please pass the salt and pepper.
5:49
How about this one?
5:50
You say it.
5:53
Sweet and sour.
5:54
I ordered sweet and sour chicken.
5:59
Are you familiar with this one?
6:00
You say it trial and error.
6:03
And by the way, you will notice I'm primarily reducing the and,
6:08
but I'm saying trial and error.
6:10
I'm saying those words clearly and fully.
6:13
Trial and error.
6:14
And let's make a sentence.
6:15
Repeat after me.
6:17
We figured it out by trial and error.
6:21
You say the next one.
6:25
Peace and quiet.
6:26
I went to the mountains for some peace and quiet.
6:32
How about this one?
6:33
You say it.
6:36
Thunder and lightning.
6:38
Thunder and lightning.
6:41
We had thunder and lightning last night.
6:46
And now let's learn some very common expressions with and.
6:50

6:54
I suggest that you learn them and that you practice saying them.
6:58

13:20
The more expressions you know,
13:22
the more confident you're going to feel about your English
13:25
and the more you'll be able to understand native speakers.
13:28
Remember, native speakers use idioms and expressions and phrasal verbs all the time,
13:35
and these are things that are generally not taught at school.
13:39
And make sure you get my online course, Phrasal Verbs for Fluent English.
13:44
You will learn hundreds of expressions that native speakers use all the time.
13:49
The course contains almost 1,000 sample sentences with these expressions.

14:04
as well.

14:11

14:14

14:20
What are phrasal verbs?
14:22
They are expressions such as to put up, to put off, to put on,
14:27
to turn in, to turn into.
14:29
When we change the preposition, the meaning completely changes.
14:33

14:34
so frustrating when you're listening to native speakers
14:37
and they're constantly using phrasal verbs.
14:40
