Smooth, Fast Spoken English - American English Pronunciation Mini Boot Camp 3

Hi there, I'm Drew Badger, the world's

number one English Fluency Guide and it

is a pleasure to welcome to the third

video in this mini boot camp for

pronunciation so far we focused on

individual sounds as we practiced in

lesson 1 we focused on the blending of

two words in less than 2 and in this one

we will focus on developing

pronunciation through the mastery of

phrases a phrase is just a group of

words said together and if you listen

carefully even to how I'm speaking in

this video I'm speaking in phrases i'm

speaking in groups of words and I

pronounce them as one word for each

phrase I'm speaking and phrases i'm

speaking in phrases so let's look at two

phrases and practice making these so you

can develop a better sense for how to

use phrases as well as how to practice

the first phrase is could you ask her or

could you ask him or could you ask them

we begin by just focusing on the

pronunciation of the individual words

just that we can understand it clearly

could you ask him now could you ask him

could you ask him becomes food you asked

him could you ask him

could you ask him now we're doing this

because again we pronounce things in a

conversation away we're trying to save

them as quickly and as smoothly as

possible and really we do this because

the other person typically a native

speaker will understand what we mean

so if i say could you ask him i'm

speaking really quickly but they

understand what I'm saying also humans

in general are able to understand things

much much faster so if you maybe listen

to a movie or something in your native

language but if you play it much much

faster you'll be able to still

understand everything you're hearing so

when we take a phrase like could you ask

him the first thing we do is really

blend it together but we say it slowly

just so we get the pronunciation to

correctly again we always want to

pronounce things in a phonetic way and

this is why i write the phonetic

spellings of things and again the

phonetic spelling is just what you might

use even if you're not using the correct

spelling but you're still using regular

english letters in order to pronounce

something instead of using something

like the international phonetic alphabet

so could you ask him if we see it like a

native speaker but say it slowly becomes

could you ask him food you asked him

could you asking

could you ask him the same thing with

could you ask her food you asked her

could you ask her food you ask her

so could you ask her to come to the

party could you ask him to take out the

trash

could you ask him to take out the trash

when you're practicing this way the

first thing to do is select the phrase

and then think about how you would

pronounce it as a native speaker and

then begin by doing it slowly

could you ask him and then once you get

that pronunciation you can start moving

faster

could you ask him could you ask him

could you ask could you ask could you

ask him could you ask him and it sounds

just like one word like the name of a

crazy town in america i live in could

you ask him

finally we'll cover one more phrase just

so this is really clear in a minute

we have one phrase in a minute we've

selected our phrase we begin by

pronouncing each thing like a robot

would we're trying to pronounce

everything in a minute in a minute but

again if you think about this when you

try to pronounce that the robotic way it

really sounds difficult to say if you're

in a conversation in up minute in a

minute

so we've taken it like that now lets

blend it together II know minute in a

minute in the man knit in the minute in

a minute

even if we pronounce slowly it still

sounds more like conversational speech

in a minute in a minute in a minute

the t4 minutes basically disappears

Minute Men it mean it in a minute in a

minute

so again you find your phrase you try to

pronounce everything clearly just so you

understand the difference between what a

more robotic sound and what a more

blended sound is like and then you build

from slow to fast just practicing the

phrase over and over again until you can

use it automatically

in a minute I'll see you in a minute

I'll come to your house in a minute i'll

finish in a minute you can practice this

phrase and just like native speakers do

they remember this phrase they learn

this phrase and then they can use it in

many different situations in a minute in

a minute in a minute
