Hello my wonderful students! Today you're going to learn how to understand

native English speakers and you'll learn how to talk fast

so you sound just like a native speaker. Welcome back to JForrest English

of course I'm Jennifer now let's get started! Here's how this lesson

will work I'm going to say a sentence three times

at a natural pace and you need to write down exactly what you

hear in the comments let's get started

is Tuesday doable is Tuesday doable

is Tuesday doable did you get this one I said

is Tuesday doable only three words but maybe you didn't hear that last word

or maybe you heard it but you don't understand what this means

so let's talk about it first for pronunciation some native speakers pronounce Tuesday as

Chu Tuesday with a Chu sound Tuesday

this is not standard pronunciation in American English

in American English standard pronunciation is Tuesday

Tuesday but you may hear Tuesday so don't be confused but I recommend you use

Tuesday let's talk about to be doable

if something is doable it means it's achievable so you are able to do it it's doable

this expression is commonly used in the negative for example

finishing the project with three people wasn't doable

so we hired two more it's not doable in this example

notice wasn't this is the verb to be to be doable is conjugated in the past

simple with the subject and it's in the negative of course

you can also use this expression in the positive you could say

becoming a confident English speaker is doable it's achievable right

you agree with that so put that's doable that's doable

now let's continue with our lesson let's try this again I'll say it 3 times

dinner's ready let's dig in dinner's ready let's dig in

dinner's ready let's dig in did you get this one I said Dinner's ready

you probably heard that one let's dig in again maybe you heard the words

but you're not really sure what this means so let's talk about that first

notice dinner's ready dinner is and then as a contraction dinners

dinner is ready let's this is a contraction

let us let's dig in dig in is a phrasal verb

so native speakers will link those sounds together

will take that g sound and will transfer it to the next word

dig in gin gin

so you hear that g in front of in but you have to say them as one word

dig in dig in let's dig in dig in has a simple meeting

it means to begin eating a meal someone might say the foods getting cold

please dig in please start eating or someone might say before we dig in

let's take a moment to appreciate this beautiful meal

keep in mind this phrasal verb let's dig in it's only used with meals

but is very commonly used and you eat at maybe three times a day

so you can get a lot of use out of this one expression

dig in let's dig in dig in let's try this again

I'll say it three times Mark my words I'll get it done

Mark my words I'll get it done Mark my words I'll get it done

how do you do with this one I said Mark my words

I'll get it done so again pronunciation

perhaps easy to understand the words but what does this mean first for pronunciation

notice all all that's our contraction I will all

I'll get it get it because we have a t and it's between two vowels

so we'll pronounce that t as a soft d but you have to connect the sounds together

get it get it get it done native speakers do something a

little weird sometimes we change the word it to her

but we pronounce it as er so it will sound like get her

get her done get her done I'll get her done can you get her done

so we do that even though there is no gender in English

so that it doesn't represent a female noun but when we do change a noun to a gender

we always use her but we pronounce it as er get her done you can hear that in this clip

I think I can get her done in under 5 hours now to get it done to get something done

native speakers will commonly say get her done

this simply means that you complete a task but we're using it because the task is obvious

it's already been identified so you can change it to it

so if you're in a meeting and you're discussing

a report then it's obvious so someone might ask you

can you get it done by 5:00 you can reply back and say

Mark my words I'll get her done now what does Mark my words mean

this is a way of saying I promise or I'm certain this is true

in this case it's a promise I will get it done

and that's why we're using the future simple because we use the future simple

with promises and commitments you can use this expression in more of a dramatic

way to say I'm certain this is true

for example you shouldn't work with that company Mark my words so

you're emphasizing your certainty about the fact

that the person shouldn't work with that company maybe because they have a bad reputation

Mark my words so you can use this as a stand alone expression

before or after to sound quite dramatic quite forceful Mark my words

Seinfeld Mark my words Mark my words pal

let's try this one more time I'll say it three times we need to up the

anti we need to up the anti

we need to up the anti did you get this one I said we need to up

the anti 2 is commonly reduced to just a ta

we need to we need to we need to up the anti notice that pronunciation

anti anti

and you can pronounce the as the with a long e

because anti starts with a vowel native speakers don't always follow this rule

to up the anti this is when you increase your demands in

a situation or your risk involved in a situation

and you do this to achieve a better result this is commonly used in negotiations

so imagine there's a union and they're negotiating with the company

and the union increased their demands they opt the anti for example

the union opt the anti by demanding a 5% raise no notice here

the word up is used as the verb to up the anti

and that's why it's conjugated in the past simple up and notice that pronunciation is

a soft t the e d is pronounced as a soft t

up up the anti now

you negotiate any time you're entering into a partnership and agreement

even when you accept a job with a company so you can use this expression

maybe a business is trying to get a new contract and someone says

I thought we had until the end of the week to accept the contract and someone else replies

we did but they opt the anti so they increase their demands

we have until 5 p m tonight great emotion

talk about upping the anti well the dress up the anti

we've got to up the anti now let's do an imitation exercise

so you can practice your pronunciation I'll say each sentence again three times

but after each sentence I want you to repeat it out loud

here we go is Tuesday doable is Tuesday doable

is Tuesday doable dinner's ready let's dig in

Dinner's ready let's dig in dinner's ready let's dig in

Mark my words I'll get it done Mark my words I'll get it done
