And that's what I'm excited about today. Let's go and let's put on some music. Maybe we can do some go natural English karaoke

Let's see what comes on here we go

My car beeps when I go in reverse

Hot just like an oven I need your lovin

Hey, ease my mind. That's it

sexual healing

Baby, it's good for us

It's good for me all right, so I'm a pretty horrible driver, but we're just going to the grocery store just

A little trip down the street. I think we can do it so listening to music and

Singing in English is a great way to improve your pronunciation and your vocabulary. Let's see if we have another song here

Something that I kind of know the lyrics to

All right so the chorus for this you can't hide you can't run and it goes with something I wanted to tell you guys about

Which is the difference between can and can't

So listen

You can't hide you can't run all right, so you can hear you have

That long a sound you can't

Hide you can't run and that that ah that long a sound is how we differentiate

the

Can from cants basically that is the difference because we often use

Can the positive. You know I can do it like yes. I can do it

We often use that can as a helper verb so for example. I can do it. Can you help me when we use?

Can in the positive

Without any other verbs then the sound changes, then it could be a longer a sound it could be

Can so yes I can can you help me yes, I can do you hear

I hope you can hear the difference between those two sounds. I'm gonna say them. We're pulling into the grocery store here

I'm gonna say them to differentiate so short a can you help me. Can you help me?

long a yes, I

can

So the short a a sound is used when we have like another verb next to it like help. Here's another example

Just park the car here before we go into the grocery store

oh, there's shadow on my face, okay, so

can you speak English yes, I can or

No, I can't, but of course you can say yes, I can so Ken yeah

Can you speak English yes, I can

so that is why we have two different pronunciations can and can so when can is a

Helping verb we have a short

vowel sound ah

Ken when we just say the verb can on its own with no other verbs that it needs to help

Then it sounds stronger

It's a long a a sound can and it's also the same vowel sound as can't so just like the song

I was singing you

Can't hide you can't run

So you can't hide you can't run from the truth

and you can't hide and you can't run from English pronunciation so make sure that you work hard repeat after me and

You can you can speak English with a clear accents. I hope you guys enjoy it or ride to the grocery store
